[186 Pages Report] The Disabled & Elderly Assistive Technology Market size was estimated at USD 25.32 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 27.45 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.98% to reach USD 46.26 billion by 2030.
The disabled & elderly assistive technology market encompasses various products, services, and solutions designed specifically to enhance the quality of life, independence, accessibility, and overall well-being of disabled people and the elderly population. The increasing aging population across the globe necessitates advanced tools to support independent living among seniors prone to developing age-related disabilities. Moreover, rising awareness about disabled people’s rights has led governments worldwide to implement supportive policies that promote accessibility initiatives in public spaces. However, high costs associated with state-of-the-art assistive technology may deter some consumers, in developing regions, from obtaining the assistive product. Additionally, a lack of awareness about available solutions among the target demographic might hinder adoption rates of disabled & elderly assistive technology. Furthermore, innovations in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, virtual reality (VR), and wearable technology have led to the development of more efficient and user-friendly assistive devices catering to individual needs. The market presents numerous opportunities for businesses focusing on connected healthcare solutions through remote monitoring systems providing real-time data collection on users’ health status.
Product: Extensive demand for assistive furnishers provide accessibility for disabled and elderly users
Activity monitors are wearable devices that track the physical activity levels and daily routines of disabled and elderly individuals. Consumers prefer activity tracker devices with clear displays and intuitive interfaces that the elderly can easily access. Assistive furniture includes adjustable beds, chairs with lift assistance, and ergonomic workstations designed to improve comfort and accessibility for disabled and elderly users. In addition, bathroom safety products are essential in preventing falls or accidents in wet environments. These may include grab bars, non-slip mats, raised toilet seats, or bath benches tailored to individual needs based on mobility and cognitive impairments. Elderly individuals and those with disabilities might encounter communication difficulties from issues such as hearing loss or speech impairments. Communication aids, such as text-to-speech devices and hearing amplifiers, can enhance their quality of life by enabling more effective interaction with others. Depression management tools such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) apps, online support groups, and mood-tracking platforms can offer valuable resources for addressing mental health concerns among the disabled and elderly.
Fall detection technology, used in wearable devices or home monitoring systems, can promptly alert caregivers in case of a fall, enabling a swift response to potential injuries. Furthermore, location monitors such as GPS trackers ensure the safety of elderly or disabled individuals by providing real-time updates on their whereabouts, which is particularly important for those with memory impairments or wandering tendencies. Mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers enable independence for disabled and elderly individuals with limited mobility. Key factors that are considered by the disabled and elderly include ease of use, weight capacity, portability, and available features such as power assistance or customizable seating options.
End User: Proliferating adoption of disabled & elderly assistive technology at home-based end-user segment
Assisted living facilities are created to provide care and help to elders or individuals with disabilities who require assistance in their daily activities. Popular technologies include mobility aids, including walkers and wheelchairs; communication devices such as text-to-speech apps and environmental control units; adaptive eating utensils; and medication management systems provided in assisted living facilities to help the elderly and disabled. Home use of assistive technology enables disabled and elderly individuals to age in place safely while maintaining their independence. Home assistive technology includes personal care (bathing aids), mobility (stairlifts), safety monitoring, and communication aids. On the other hand, hospitals and nursing homes require assistive technology to meet stringent performance, hygiene, and durability standards while integrating seamlessly into existing healthcare infrastructure. Commonly employed devices include patient lifts and transfer equipment, beds and mattresses designed to prevent pressure ulcers, pressure redistribution cushions and positioning devices, electronic medical records with accessibility features, and rehabilitation equipment, including robotic exoskeletons.
