Canes and Crutches Market: Growth Drivers

The aging population is likely to pave the way for global market growth

Global population aging will cause a significant rise in the prevalence of fractures in postmenopausal women, thus boosting the global canes and crutches market growth during the forecast period. The aged population is increasing faster than the younger population. This increases chronic diseases, abnormalities, and deterioration of physical functions such as leg and hand mobility. Elderly people are vulnerable to a variety of orthopedic conditions.

Canes and Crutches Market: Restraints

The increasing alternatives to the canes and crutches may hamper the global market growth.

The availability of alternatives for canes and crutches will likely limit the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Knee walkers and wheelchairs, for example, can be used in place of canes and crutches. A knee walker features wheels that allow unfettered mobility and does not require any upper body strength. Wheel chairs provide for greater mobility and reduce the danger of pressure ulcers. Such replacement items are estimated to limit the worldwide canes and crutches market's growth.
