Summary

Colombia has a strong cultural emphasis on family ties, and this is often reflected in the approach to home healthcare. Family members often play a crucial role in caring for their loved ones at home, and there is a cultural expectation of providing support to family members in times of illness or need. Colombia has a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional healing practices. While modern healthcare is prevalent, some families incorporate traditional or herbal remedies into their home healthcare practices, especially in rural or indigenous communities. The age distribution of the population and the prevalence of conditions affecting mobility, such as arthritis or neurological disorders, can impact the demand for mobility devices. Colombia's demographic profile, including an ageing population, contributes to the market for such devices. Economic conditions can affect the affordability and accessibility of mobility devices. The level of insurance coverage and government support for assistive devices can impact the purchasing power of individuals. Healthcare providers recommend or provide mobility devices to ensure safe ambulation after surgery. This is particularly relevant for patients who experience temporary mobility challenges due to surgical procedures. Healthcare professionals often prescribe specific rehabilitation protocols for patients after surgery. The use of mobility devices may be part of these protocols to facilitate a gradual return to normal activities.

According to the research report “Colombia Mobility Device Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the Colombia Mobility Device market is anticipated to add more than USD 68 Million from 2023 to 2028. Demographic factors, such as population size, age distribution, and urbanisation rates, influence market demand. Colombia has a growing population, and demographic trends, including an ageing population, can drive demand in sectors like healthcare, housing, and consumer goods. Government policies and regulatory frameworks significantly impact market conditions. Policies related to trade, taxation, investment incentives, and industry-specific regulations can either facilitate or hinder market growth. Colombia is known for its natural resources, including oil, coal, and agricultural products. The performance of these industries can have a substantial impact on the overall economy and drive related markets. Colombia's engagement in global trade and its export performance influence various markets. External demand for Colombian goods and services, as well as international trade agreements, can shape the competitiveness of domestic industries. The healthcare sector is driven by factors such as the country's healthcare needs, government healthcare policies, and the development of medical technologies. Demographic changes, including an ageing population, may increase demand for healthcare services and related markets.


Based on the product types, they are segmented into wheelchairs, patient lifting equipment, walking assist, and others; among them, patient lifting equipment is a growing market. Increased awareness about mobility devices and improved accessibility to healthcare services can drive the demand. As people become more informed about available assistive technologies, they may seek solutions to enhance their mobility and quality of life. Government policies and initiatives that promote the rights and well-being of people with disabilities can influence the demand for mobility devices. Subsidies, incentives, or support programmes encourage individuals to acquire the necessary devices. Advances in healthcare infrastructure and services lead to better diagnosis and recognition of mobility issues. Healthcare professionals recommend or prescribe mobility devices as part of a comprehensive care plan. Changes in lifestyle patterns, including sedentary behaviours, and an increase in conditions related to physical inactivity contribute to a rise in mobility issues and, consequently, the demand for mobility devices. According to the report, the categories are segmented into adult and child; among them, adults use more mobility devices. Mobility issues are often associated with ageing, and adults are more likely to experience conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, or other musculoskeletal issues. These conditions can affect an individual's ability to move independently and lead to the use of mobility devices. Furthermore, children generally have more resilient bodies and are less likely to experience the same types of degenerative conditions that can affect adults. While some children may have mobility impairments due to congenital conditions or developmental disorders, these cases are less common than adult-onset mobility issues.

In terms of end users, they are segmented into homecare, hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres, and rehabilitation centres. The prevalence of chronic health conditions, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and neurological disorders, can contribute to the need for mobility devices. Home care often involves managing individuals with chronic illnesses, and mobility devices can improve their quality of life. There is a trend towards providing healthcare services in home settings whenever possible. Home care allows individuals to receive medical attention and support in the comfort of their homes. In this setting, mobility devices become essential for maintaining independence and improving mobility within the home environment. Using mobility devices in home care can contribute to the prevention of hospital readmissions. Patients recovering from surgeries or illnesses may require mobility assistance at home, and the use of devices can support their rehabilitation and recovery process. Advances in assistive technology have led to the development of more user-friendly and efficient mobility devices. This includes lightweight wheelchairs, motorised scooters, and other devices that are suitable for home use, making them more accessible for individuals receiving home care.
