Report Scope of The Bathroom And Toilet Assist Devices Market

Increasing chronic illnesses and the growing aging and disabled population are the major factors expected to drive the market. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of age-related disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, and osteoporosis is expected to propel the growth. Due to greater flexibility, adjustability, portability, and reduced dependency on caregivers, the adoption of bathroom and toilet assist devices is expected to increase in the coming years. Additionally, various initiatives being undertaken by the government to address the needs of disabled people and supportive reimbursement scenarios are expected to foster the industry growth over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak had also contributed to the growth of this market. As older adults were susceptible to COVID-19, they were restricted to their homes which led to increased demand for bathroom and toilet assist devices. However, restrictions on people’s movement also reduced the number of road accidents and decreased the demand for disabled-friendly devices. The disruptions in logistics and supply chain also hampered the growth of this market. Moreover, as restrictions were uplifted, companies started to emphasize building strong distribution networks to restore their businesses.

Aging heightens the susceptibility of an individual to developing target diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. For instance, as per the Arthritis Society, about 6 million Canadians (1 in 5 adults) have arthritis and this number is estimated to grow to 9 million by 2040 (1 in 5 today to 1 in 4 in 2040). The elderly population is also more susceptible to chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and other lifestyle-associated disorders, which is expected to propel the market’s growth. As per the fact sheet published by World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2023, the worldwide proportion of the population above 60 years of age is estimated to almost double from 12% in 2015 to 22% in 2050. Consequently, the expanding geriatric population base is expected to broaden the patient pool for the manufacturers of bathroom and toilet assist devices.

The disabled population is increasing as a result of a rise in the incidence of injuries due to sports, road accidents, and chronic neurological impairment, which is anticipated to drive the handgrips and grab bars market in North America. With the rising incidence of stroke, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis, the risk of paralysis is increasing. As per the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) data sheet 2023, approximately 18,000 new spinal cord injuries are reported each year in the U.S. and around 253,000 to 378,000 people are living with SCI. Similarly, according to a study published in PubMed Central in June 2021, about 47% of the total general population.is afflicted by musculoskeletal diseases. Thus, the growing prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries and other injuries is contributing substantially to the growth of the market.

Another factor positively supporting the growth is the rising number of online stores. Product penetration through online networks is rapidly increasing as it allows the end-users to compare and select suitable products based on their brand, type, price, and point of sales. For instance, Amazon, Joom, Walgreen, and Carex are some of the leading online providers of in-home, self-care medical products including bath safety equipment, mobility aids, and pain management devices. Additionally, these online stores offer product warranty with product support, access to exclusive deals, and a return policy if any product does not meet the expectations of the patient. Thus, the easy availability of different bathroom and toilet assist devices on online platforms is expected to drive the market in the coming years.

The demand for bathroom and toilet assist devices is expected to grow in the U.S. owing to the rise in the number of disabled patients and people with reduced mobility because of obesity, old age, arthritis, and other health issues. Moreover, rapid technological advancements and frequent launches of new and innovative products are among the key factors fueling the growth during the forecast period. In addition, growing awareness regarding improved patient assist devices, coupled with increasing life expectancy, is anticipated to drive the market. Furthermore, the presence of well-defined regulatory guidelines and reimbursement policies for the treatment of patients with disabilities is boosting revenue generation in the region. The high adoption of home healthcare and remote patient monitoring services is spurring revenue generation in the country.

In addition, aging demographics have created the demand for long-term care centers and old-age homes, which, in turn, drives the need for handgrips and grab bars. Furthermore, older adults are more vulnerable to falls from downstairs, bed, ladder, or in the bath, thereby positively supporting the escalating demand for handgrips and grab bars. For instance, according to the CDC report, an estimated 36 million older adults are hospitalized every year as a result of falls, and about 3 million seniors are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries. Thus, the rising geriatric population has boosted the demand for assistive products, such as handgrips and grab bars. According to an article published by WHO, 2.5 billion people worldwide need at least one or more assistive products to improve their daily functioning, whereas due to the increasing older population, and noncommunicable diseases, this number is expected to increase to 3.5 billion people by 2050. This is expected to further boost industry growth.
