North America is estimated to contribute 35% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. The US dominated the rehabilitation equipment market in North America due to the wide presence of many established large hospitals specializing in cardiology that also offer rehabilitation programs. Presently, the region is witnessing a shifting preference toward outpatient and intensive cardiac rehabilitation (ICR) services. ICR is a rigorous rehabilitation program that continues for three to six months based on the patients health condition.

Moreover, the number of patients undergoing rehabilitation after such surgeries and heart attacks is increasing, which is primarily attributed to rising awareness among patients and the increasing presence of service providers. High per capita income and increased standards of living are encouraging the adoption of rehabilitation equipment in the US and Canada, which, in turn, is driving the growth of the rehabilitation equipment market in North America during the forecast period. 

COVID Recovery Analysis

In 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the growth of the market in focus in North America. However, in 2021, owing to the large-scale vaccination drives and the restoration of operations in healthcare units, larger inflows of patients resuming routine health check-ups and treatments of health conditions in healthcare facilities were observed in North America. Thus, the higher demand for rehabilitation treatments from healthcare facilities will lead to an increased demand for rehabilitation equipment in the region. In addition, increasing CVD, technologically advanced healthcare systems, and their integration with cutting-edge technology such as AI and machine learning are expected to fuel the growth of the regional market in focus during the forecast period.

Rehabilitation Equipment Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. 

Key Rehabilitation Equipment Market Drivers

The high prevalence of CVD is notably driving the market growth.  CVD is the leading cause of death globally. The prevalence of these diseases is high due to an unhealthy and sedentary lifestyle. The geriatric population is more prone to CVD as their heart functionality becomes weak. According to the World Health Organization, CVDs are the major cause of death across the world and account for about one-third of the total annual deaths. According to the CDC, in the US, approximately 610,000 people succumb to heart disease every year. Annually, sudden cardiac deaths occur in approximately 400 persons per million inhabitants in each country in Asia.

However, the prevalence of CVD is expected to increase significantly in the upcoming decade (by 2030) owing to a growing sedentary lifestyle. This will also increase awareness about cardiac rehabilitation to prevent the recurrence of diseases, which will lead to the growth of the global rehabilitation equipment market during the forecast period.

Significant Rehabilitation Equipment Market Trends

Integrating AI and machine learning (ML) into rehabilitation equipment is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The integration of AI and ML into rehabilitation equipment is a driving force in the global rehabilitation equipment market. These advanced technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way rehabilitation is delivered and enhance patient outcomes. By leveraging AI and ML, rehabilitation equipment can become more intelligent, adaptive, and personalized, offering tailored interventions and improving the overall effectiveness of rehabilitation programs. AI and ML can also facilitate remote monitoring and telerehabilitation. With the integration of these technologies, rehabilitation equipment can transmit patient data and progress to healthcare professionals in real-time, allowing for remote assessment, adjustment of treatment plans, and ongoing support. This has significant implications, especially for individuals who have limited access to rehabilitation facilities or live in remote areas.

For instance, a patient recovering from a knee injury can utilize AI-powered sensors on their home exercise equipment, and their therapist can remotely monitor their progress and provide guidance and adjustments as needed. Thus, such factors are expected to increase the demand for rehabilitation equipment, which will propel the growth of the global rehabilitation equipment market during the forecast period.

Major Rehabilitation Equipment Market Challenges

Limited reimbursement and insurance coverage is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The global rehabilitation equipment market is facing challenges due to limited reimbursement and insurance coverage for rehabilitation equipment and equipment. This lack of financial support poses barriers to access and affordability for individuals in need of rehabilitation, impacting their ability to receive necessary care and hindering market growth. Understanding the reasons and consequences of limited reimbursement and insurance coverage is crucial for addressing these challenges and promoting equitable access to rehabilitation. The high costs associated with rehabilitation equipment, maintenance, and replacement investments can strain healthcare facilities' budgets, making it challenging to provide quality care without adequate reimbursement.

Moreover, for patients, limited coverage means they may have to bear a significant portion of the costs out of pocket, which can be prohibitive and restrict their access to necessary rehabilitation equipment. For example, a person with a spinal cord injury may face substantial financial difficulties when trying to acquire a specialized wheelchair that meets their specific needs. Thus, such factors are expected to negatively impact the growth of the global rehabilitation equipment market during the forecast period.
