People may use mobility devices to better traverse their environment in metropolitan regions, where there are greater accessibility issues and congested locations. Government initiatives and subsidies play a crucial role in driving demand. Brazil has implemented programmes to enhance accessibility, offering financial support for individuals to acquire mobility devices. These initiatives make devices more affordable and accessible to a broader segment of the population. Cultural acceptance of mobility devices and increased awareness about the available options contribute to growing demand. As awareness spreads, individuals are more likely to seek out and adopt mobility devices that cater to their specific needs. As awareness of assistive technology grows, there is a heightened interest in devices that incorporate advanced technologies. This includes electronic wheelchairs, smart walkers, and other innovative solutions that meet the evolving expectations of consumers.

Based on the product types, they are segmented into the wheelchair, patient lifting equipment, walking assist, and others; among them, the wheelchair is contributing the highest market share. Brazil, like many nations, is experiencing demographic changes, including an ageing population. Wheelchairs cater to the needs of seniors and individuals with age-related mobility issues, contributing to their widespread use. Wheelchairs are designed to navigate different environments, both indoors and outdoors. Their versatility makes them suitable for use in homes, public spaces, and healthcare facilities, contributing to their widespread adoption. Healthcare professionals, including physicians, physical therapists, and rehabilitation specialists, commonly prescribe wheelchairs based on individual needs. This professional endorsement contributes to the prevalence of wheelchairs in the mobility device market. Many individuals in Brazil prefer to age in place, and wheelchairs contribute to maintaining independence within the home environment. The suitability of wheelchairs for home use aligns with the trend towards home-based care and ageing in place. According to the report, the categories are segmented into adult and child; among them, adults use more mobility devices. Adults, particularly the elderly population, are more prone to age-related health conditions that impact mobility. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative joint diseases are more prevalent in older age groups, necessitating the use of mobility devices. Adults are more likely to encounter orthopaedic issues or injuries that require the use of mobility devices during the recovery process. Injuries, surgeries, or musculoskeletal conditions necessitate the temporary or permanent use of devices like crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs.

In terms of end users, they are segmented into homecare, hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres, and rehabilitation centres. Hospitals play a crucial role in patient care and rehabilitation. Many patients admitted to hospitals may have undergone surgeries, experienced injuries, or are managing chronic conditions. Mobility devices such as crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs aid in the rehabilitation process, helping patients regain mobility and independence. In a hospital setting, patients have varying degrees of mobility, and some may require assistance for movement within the facility. Mobility devices contribute to maintaining patient mobility, preventing complications associated with prolonged immobility, and supporting overall well-being. Hospitals provide rehabilitation services for patients recovering from various conditions, injuries, or surgeries. Physical and occupational therapists may use mobility devices as part of rehabilitation programmes to improve patients' strength, coordination, and overall mobility.
