Physiotherapy Devices Market: Growth Drivers

Growing prevalence of neurological and chronic diseases to fuel the market

The rising prevalence of neurological and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the rising geriatric population, have fueled the global demand for physiotherapy devices. The International Osteoporosis Foundation predicted that by the end of 2025, 33.9 million people in Europe would have osteoporosis, up from 26.5 million in 2010. By 2050, more than half of all osteoporotic hip fractures can occur in Asia, according to the study. As a result, the need for rehabilitation services is increasing as the prevalence of orthopedic diseases rises. Improper eating habits and a hectic lifestyle, which cause pain in the neck, back, muscles, nerves, and ligaments are predicted to drive the market. Physicians have been prescribing physiotherapy to patients as a result of the added benefits, leading to a rise in the need for physiotherapy devices, thereby boosting market growth.

The market for physiotherapy devices is segmented on the basis of product into equipment and accessories. The accessories segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR owing to increasing use of accessories like orthotics and increasing preference for home healthcare. Whereas, the equipment segment by product type dominates the global physiotherapy devices market. The equipment segment is further sub-segmented into hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, heat therapy, cryotherapy, ultrasound, continuous passive motion (CPM), laser therapy, and others. The accessories segment is bifurcated into orthoses and assistive devices in the global physiotherapy devices market. Based on applications, the physiotherapy devices market is classified into cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurology, and others. Based on end–user, the market is classified into ambulatory surgical centers & hospitals and surgical centers.

Physiotherapy Devices Market: Restraints

Viable reimbursement scenarios may impede the market growth

Modifications in the healthcare insurance policy and coverage have a significant impact on individuals' out-of-pocket spending. This may result in service variations and have an impact on the quality of treatment delivered. Patients frequently pay out of pocket due to differences in coverage within and between private & federal payers. Unless co-insurance rolls in, patients could be liable for facility fees, co-insurance, co-pay, and reaching a large deductible. Co-pays for therapy services can be as much as USD 75 per visit. These fees may limit patients' access to treatments, resulting in circumstances where they do not receive therapy or are unable to engage in everyday routines or return to work.

Physiotherapy Devices Market: Opportunities

Technological advancements in devices offer numerous opportunities for the market growth

In recent years, with the implementation of artificial intelligence in physiotherapy devices, the nature of physiotherapy devices is evolving. Gait analysis is a classic example of how AI has been applied in physiotherapy assessment. Recent advances in video analysis powered by machine learning have demonstrated that computers can automatically diagnose gait irregularities and underlying pathology in patients with osteoarthritis and Parkinson's diseases. In addition to this, soft robots or dextrous hands have been used in the physiotherapy treatment area to provide simple mobilization in patients with musculoskeletal problems. Thus, artificial intelligence is becoming an important component in physiotherapy evaluation and treatment. All such factors are likely to generate ample opportunities for the growth of the global physiotherapy devices market during the forecast period.

Physiotherapy Devices Market: Challenges.

Growing inclination toward acupuncture therapy is a major challenge for the market growth
