The market in North America will witness low growth owing to fewer opportunities for market expansion. For instance, as the demand for healthcare grows in Canada, delivering high-quality, effective, and sustainable services is a top priority and one of the most pressing challenges faced by governments and businesses. While physiotherapist employment has also increased over the past few years, there has also been a shift in physiotherapy service delivery from hospitals to community-based providers. As such, the area of practice for physiotherapists in most provinces/territories is divided between general practice and musculoskeletal practice.
In addition, the high demand for these products is owing to the presence of well-developed healthcare facilities and the higher disposable income of people, which renders better healthcare affordable. The increased availability of healthcare facilities and the affordability of treatment facilities have increased the number of patients seeking better healthcare facilities. The increased number of medical cases drives the growth of supportive healthcare services, such as an increased number of days of hospital stay, uses of clinical and diagnostics services, and home-based patient care services, including physiotherapy. Such factors are expected to drive the regional market growth during the forecast period.
The Physiotherapy Equipment Wheel market is experiencing significant growth, propelled by an increasing number of healthcare providers seeking to address the needs of the geriatric population, athletes suffering from sports injuries, and individuals afflicted with degenerative joint disorders caused by factors like improper eating habits. This growth is further accentuated by emerging markets for physiotherapy equipment, signaling a global demand for advanced rehabilitation solutions.
However, the industry faces challenges such as prolonged recovery times associated with physiotherapy interventions. To address these challenges, stakeholders must conduct thorough market trends and analysis alongside comprehensive industry trend analysis and pricing analysis. Additionally, leveraging insights from patent analysis and utilizing information from conference and webinar materials is crucial. By understanding buying behavior and collaborating closely with key stakeholders, the physiotherapy equipment market can innovate tools and instruments to enhance flexibility and physical function, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
The growing number of healthcare providers is notably driving market growth. Healthcare providers such as diagnostics centers, clinics, hospitals, and patient care centers are increasing in number with improved healthcare services. There were approximately 6,090 hospitals in the US in 2022. The rising cases of chronic diseases, medical emergencies, epidemics, and short-term and long-term disabilities that are also increasing with population growth are creating an increase in the number of healthcare providers. Owing to the increase in the number of patient footfalls, the demand for physiotherapy equipment, such as CPM units, electric muscle stimulators, and ultrasound machines, is increasing along with the demand for therapies, such as hydrotherapy, cryotherapy, and heat therapy.
However, to meet the increased demand, healthcare providers are expanding their capabilities in terms of services and equipment, leading to higher opportunities for the manufacturers and suppliers of these products. The suppliers and manufacturers are investing funds to enter new markets or to expand the existing ones to cater to these end-users. The increased revenue from these markets is the reason for the growth and development of the market during the forecast period.
Emerging markets for physiotherapy equipment are an emerging trend shaping market growth. The availability of this equipment enables the physiotherapist to provide the required services, which is, however, limited to only developed markets owing to the adequate supply of products. MEA and Western European countries such as France, Germany, and the UK are highly developed markets owing to the availability of sophisticated healthcare facilities, which is further supported by the higher disposable income of individuals. The supply is very small in underdeveloped and rural markets owing to the lack of efficient distribution networks and the marginal demand for these products.
Moreover, the increased consumption of these products encourages the growth of emerging markets with higher product penetration. This creates opportunities for the suppliers and manufacturers to set up manufacturing units in these countries that offer the easy availability of raw materials with low labor costs and logistic expenditures. There is a scope for the market to expand during the forecast period.
Prolonged recovery time in physiotherapy is a significant challenge hindering market growth. Physiotherapy does not include surgery or the use of any drugs for the treatment of diseases and disorders. It aids in curing healthcare issues through various exercises and therapies. However, unlike treatment through medical surgeries and drugs, treatment through physiotherapy needs comparatively more time. For example, a patient suffering from back pain or spine problems such as lumbar back pain, cervical back pain, or complete backbone pain is subjected to physiotherapy treatment for 4-6 weeks as an initial treatment. Based on the criticality of disorders and the required treatment, the patient is advised for surgery.
Further, physiotherapy cannot be used in the case of life-threatening emergencies, such as accidents, burn cases, and multiple bone fractures. It cannot completely replace the use of medicinal treatment procedures and is only limited to health problems associated with minimum risks. This limitation reduces the patient pool (as compared with surgical or medicinal therapy) and the subsequent demand for physiotherapy equipment. This reduced consumption acts as a negative factor for the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
