Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/03/2019 -- Since the enactment of the long-term care insurance system in 2000, public interest in rehabilitation equipment, and thereby the number of users has increased. This trend further resulted into improvements in the function and design of such equipment, which greatly benefits the aged population and physically challenged to achieve greater independence and participate in society. Rehabilitation equipment is a re-usable aid which assists the patient with their daily activities.
In the past decade, the market for these devices has expanded considerably due to government support and technological advancements to address the needs of the increasing geriatric and physically challenged population in developed countries with the purchasing power as well as need for rehabilitation equipment. However, high cost and maintenance expenses may hinder the growth of this market in developing and under-developed countries, which is otherwise estimated to be significant. This could be attributed to the entry of various government and private insurance players who cover various assistive devices under reimbursement plans, making them more affordable to consumers and enhancing the demand for them in the market. The combined effect of these factors is predicted to drive the rehabilitation equipment market during the forecast period.
