Summary

There's a growing acceptance and understanding of the importance of these devices in enhancing independence and improving the quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments. China's urban planning initiatives often include considerations for accessibility. Cities are increasingly designed with ramps, elevators, and other features to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges, influencing the demand for mobility devices. The market's rapid growth is propelled by a multifaceted landscape that includes government initiatives, technological advancements, and a burgeoning e-commerce ecosystem. The Chinese government's proactive role in fostering inclusivity has resulted in policies and programmes supporting the development and adoption of mobility devices, aligning with broader efforts to improve the quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges. Moreover, China's prowess in technological innovation is reflected in the industry's embrace of smart devices, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities for enhanced functionality and connectivity. As the urban landscape evolves with a focus on accessibility, Chinese cities are increasingly designed to accommodate mobility devices, influencing both the demand for and acceptance of these aids. Beyond domestic consumption, Chinese manufacturers have emerged as key players in the global mobility device market, contributing to the industry's dynamism on a global scale. This complex interplay of demographic trends, government initiatives, technological prowess, and cultural evolution positions the China Mobility Devices market as a focal point of innovation and growth within the broader healthcare and assistive technology sectors.

According to the research report "China Mobility Devices Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the China Mobility Devices market was valued at more than USD 1 Billion in 2022. China has one of the largest ageing populations. As individuals age, the likelihood of mobility challenges increases, driving the demand for mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility scooters to support the elderly in maintaining independence and mobility. The Chinese government has implemented initiatives to improve healthcare accessibility and inclusivity. Policies supporting individuals with disabilities and the elderly, coupled with subsidies and financial assistance programmes, play a significant role in boosting the demand for mobility devices. Urbanisation in China has led to lifestyle changes, including sedentary habits and increased risk factors for mobility issues. Mobility devices address the challenges of navigating urban environments, contributing to their demand. The overall economic growth in China has led to increased affordability of healthcare products, including mobility devices. Rising disposable incomes make it more feasible for individuals and families to invest in assistive technologies. Changing cultural attitudes towards disability and the use of assistive devices influence the acceptance and adoption of mobility devices. As societal views become more positive, individuals are more likely to seek and use these devices.

Based on the product types, they are segmented into the wheelchair, patient lifting equipment, walking assist, and others. Among them, in China, walking assist is a growing market. China is experiencing a significant demographic shift with an increasing ageing population. As people age, there is a higher likelihood of mobility challenges and a greater demand for walking assist devices, such as walking frames, canes, and Rollators, to provide support and stability. The prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis and osteoporosis, tends to rise with age. These conditions can affect mobility, making walking aids essential for individuals to maintain independence and prevent falls. Urbanisation in China has brought about lifestyle changes, including sedentary habits and an increased risk of injuries. Walking assist devices become crucial in helping individuals navigate urban environments safely, providing support during daily activities. Economic growth in China has led to increased disposable income for many individuals and families. This rise in affluence makes walking assist devices more accessible and affordable for a larger segment of the population. Growing awareness about the importance of mobility aids in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle encourages individuals to seek assistance when needed. Education campaigns on the benefits of walking assist devices contribute to market growth. According to the report, the categories are segmented into adult and child categories. Children with certain medical conditions or disabilities require mobility devices to assist with movement and independence. Conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or congenital disorders necessitate the use of devices like wheelchairs, walkers, or orthopaedic aids. Advances in paediatric rehabilitation and physical therapy contribute to the utilisation of mobility devices for children. Therapeutic interventions often involve the use of devices to promote mobility, strength, and motor skill development.

In terms of end users, they are segmented into homecare, hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres, and rehabilitation centres. Among them, in China, homecare is increasing the use of mobility devices. The prevalence of chronic health conditions, such as arthritis and osteoporosis, can lead to mobility issues. Individuals with chronic conditions may use mobility devices at home to facilitate movement and reduce the risk of falls. Urbanisation and associated lifestyle changes may contribute to sedentary habits and increased time spent indoors. Mobility devices can be used at home to compensate for limited physical activity and promote mobility within the household environment. In Chinese culture, where family bonds are often strong, family members may use mobility devices to support elderly or disabled relatives within the home. This family-centric approach contributes to the increased use of mobility devices at home. Advances in mobility device technology, including features like foldability, ease of use, and improved battery life for electric devices, make these aids more practical and user-friendly for home use.
