Canes and Crutches Market (Product Type: Canes, Crutches, and Accessories; Distribution Channel: Hospital Pharmacies, Medical Retail Stores, and Online Stores)- Global Industry Analysis, Share, Growth, Regional Outlook and Forecasts, 2022-2030

According to Nova one advisor, the global Canes and Crutches market size was valued at USD 1.0 billion in 2021 and is predicted to hit USD 2.4 billion by 2030 with a registered CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.

Canes and crutches are personal mobility devices that improve the quality of life of geriatric people and individuals with disabilities. These are assistive devices that help a person with ambulation or walking disability after a surgical operation or procedure. Additionally, most people want to maintain their independence as they grow older. Fall is one of the biggest threats to that independence. It is normal to fall from time to time, but falls become especially common and more dangerous as people grow older. Several types of canes, crutches, and other walking assistance devices and mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, have been designed to help elderly people who have issues moving around safely. However, crutch canes are perhaps the most common and standard type of walking aid a senior is likely to use, as a cane can be quite useful as a non-intrusive device that still allows for considerable independence. The global canes and crutches market size is likely to grow at a moderate growth rate during the forecast period due to rise in geriatric population and increase in disability rate in people across the globe.

Report Scope of the Canes and Crutches Market

Increase in Global Geriatric Population and Rise in Population with Disabilities to Fuel Canes and Crutches Demand

Increase in the global geriatric population is a major factor driving the global canes and crutches market. Rheumatoid arthritis and ligament injuries are common diseases that affect the elderly population. Aging is associated with declining support for long-term caregiving. The global population is aging rapidly and would require various types of canes and crutches in order to maintain stability while walking. According to the United Nations, the geriatric population aged 60 years and above is expected to double by 2050 and triple by 2100, increasing from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050 and 3.1 billion in 2100. Moreover, rise in number of individuals with disabilities contributes to the growth of the global canes and crutches market.

Social Stigma Associated with Mobility Equipment to Hamper Acceptance of Canes and Crutches

In certain cultures, disability has been associated with curses, disease, dependence, and helplessness. The social stigma associated with the utilization of devices such as canes, crutches, walker crutches, and wheelchairs is expected to restrain the global market. Certain people still feel uneasy when they use mobility equipment for disability or after surgery rehabilitation process. Usage of canes and crutches has been associated with loss of confidence, particularly in the younger generation. Therefore, social stigma is likely to hamper the global canes and crutches market.
