Rapid Implementation of Innovative Techniques For Product Development, Introduction of Advanced Medical Crutches, Rising Incidences Of Debilitating Neurological Diseases And Injuries, And Increasing Initiatives By Governments To Ensure The Availability of Walking Assistance Devices To A Large Consumer Base Are Factors Contributing To Market Growth

NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As per the latest industry analysis by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, global demand for walking assist devices is forecasted to increase at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2022 to 2027.

When used under the guidance of therapists and medical professionals, walking assist devices help injured individuals walk more easily. Basic design features include a light bodyweight and two or four wheels to assist users when they are walking. Rising prevalence of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, soaring need for rehabilitation equipment, and rapid increase in the elderly population are the major drivers of the walking assist devices market.

Sales of walking assist devices are booming thanks to growing activities by key businesses. Demand for assistive walking aids is also being driven by neurological illnesses and traumas. The number of elderly people is increasing, which causes disability and knee weakness. Balance, support, and ultimately the capacity to live independently are provided by walking aids.
