Walking Aids Industry Overview

The global walking aids market size was valued at USD 2.2 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period.

The rising geriatric population coupled with the increasing prevalence of arthritis and Parkinson’s is estimated to drive the market growth. In addition, a favorable reimbursement framework and regulatory policies are also anticipated to fuel the market’s growth. However, the mobility devices industry witnessed a significant setback due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic initially negatively impacted the demand for the product. The supply chain was highly disrupted due to the pandemic. The pandemic impacted the overall shipping and logistics of mobility and personal care products globally which has also resulted in the high cost of container shipping. The rising cost of supply chain and logistics has had an adverse effect on the company’s finances and liquidity. With the effective COVID-19 protocols and government guidelines, the market is again steadily increasing in every region as the need and demand for the devices increases.

Falling, among the elderly population can be prevented by the appropriate use of assistive devices.

Walking aids are covered under the durable medical equipment category by Medicare. The Medicare part B pays for nearly 80.0% of the approved devices while the patient pays the rest 20.0%, thus increasing the affordability and facilitating market demand.
