Global Disability Devices Market: Regional Analysis

North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the disability devices market over the forecast period, owing to high usage of disability devices coupled with high affordability rate among regional population. According to the University of California 2019 article, in 2013, over 6.8 million community-resident Americans were using disability devices to help them with mobility. This group comprises 1.7 million wheelchair or scooter riders and 6.1 million users of other mobility devices, such as canes, crutches, and walkers.

Asia Pacific disability devices market size is expected to witness significant growth, owing to large unmet medical need, followed by increasing public and private funding in healthcare sector. According to the Asian Institute of Disability and Development (AIDD), in Bangladesh, child population of 1.2 million has a requirement of 3,500 wheelchairs alone for children with CP (cerebral palsy). Till date, AIDD has distributed 450 wheelchairs, 200 hearing aids, 15,000 spectacles, 1,000 white canes, and other disability devices to children throughout the country as part of its projects.
