Summary

Spain has a rapidly aging population, with over 20% of the population aged 65 or older. This age group is more likely to require mobility assistance due to age-related conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and balance problems. The number of people aged 80 and over is expected to increase by almost 50% by 2030, further fueling the market demand. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders are becoming increasingly common in Spain. These conditions often lead to mobility limitations, increasing the need for assistive devices. The growing burden of chronic diseases is putting pressure on healthcare systems, leading to increased government support for home healthcare and mobility solutions. The Spanish government offers various incentives and policies to support the mobility device market. These include tax breaks for manufacturers and distributors, subsidies for consumers, and funding for research and development. These initiatives encourage market growth and ensure greater accessibility of mobility devices for individuals in need. Spain has a relatively high healthcare expenditure as a percentage of GDP. This increased spending creates opportunities for the mobility device market as more resources are allocated to rehabilitation and assistive technologies. Additionally, the government's commitment to improving healthcare access and quality further bolsters market growth. Spain is a popular tourist destination, and efforts are being made to make tourism more accessible. This includes accommodations, attractions, and transportation services that cater to the needs of tourists with mobility challenges. Spain's cultural emphasis on outdoor living and activities may contribute to the demand for mobility devices that enable individuals to participate in outdoor events, navigate urban spaces, and engage in social activities.

According to the research report “Spain Mobility Device Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the Spain Mobility Device market is anticipated to add more than USD 140 Million from 2023 to 2028. Spain has witnessed a growing trend in the adoption of electric mobility solutions. Electric wheelchairs, scooters, and other battery-powered devices are becoming increasingly popular, driven by advancements in battery technology and a broader emphasis on sustainability. Mobility devices in Spain are incorporating smart technologies to enhance user experience and functionality. This includes features such as GPS navigation, connectivity to mobile devices, and remote monitoring capabilities, contributing to improved accessibility and convenience. Wearable technologies, such as health monitoring devices, are being integrated into mobility devices in Spain. These technologies provide real-time health data, contributing to a more holistic approach to healthcare and well-being. The integration of mobility devices with telehealth services is gaining traction. This allows users to remotely consult with healthcare professionals, share health data, and receive virtual assistance, particularly valuable in situations like the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of digital platforms and online resources for selecting and purchasing mobility devices is increasing. Users can access information, reviews, and specifications online, facilitating informed decision-making and enhancing the overall consumer experience. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being utilized to personalize the user experience. AI algorithms can analyze user behavior and preferences, adapting the settings and features of mobility devices to meet individual needs. Some mobility devices are exploring the integration of augmented reality for navigation assistance. AR features can provide real-time visual information, aiding users in navigating complex environments and avoiding obstacles.

In terms of product the market is bifurcated into Wheelchair, Patient Lifting Equipment, Walking Assist and Others. Walking assist devices, such as walking frames, canes, and Rollators, are often used for both prevention and rehabilitation purposes. As awareness grows about the importance of maintaining mobility and preventing falls, individuals may invest in walking assist devices. Individuals recovering from surgeries or injuries may require walking assist devices during the rehabilitation process. These devices provide support and stability, aiding in the recovery of mobility. On-going advancements in walking assist technology, such as the development of lightweight and ergonomic designs, can make these devices more attractive and user-friendly. Innovations in materials and features may drive the adoption of walking assist devices. Walking assist devices with user-friendly designs, adjustable features, and ease of use can attract a broader demographic, including older adults who may be more inclined to use such devices. In urban areas where walking is a common mode of transportation, walking assist devices become crucial for individuals with mobility challenges. The focus on creating accessible environments in urban spaces can drive the demand for walking assist devices.

Based on end user the market is segmented into Homecare, Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centres and Rehabilitation Centres. There is a global trend towards ambulatory or outpatient care, driven by factors such as cost-effectiveness, convenience, and advances in medical technology. ASCs are well-positioned to cater to a range of surgical and medical procedures without the need for prolonged hospital stays. ASCs are often focused on minor surgical procedures that do not require extensive hospitalization. As the number of minor surgical interventions increases, the demand for mobility devices within ASCs for patient recovery and ambulation support may also rise. ASCs are known for their efficiency and cost-effective healthcare delivery model. The use of mobility devices in ASCs can contribute to streamlined processes, faster patient turnover, and overall cost savings compared to traditional hospital settings. Furthermore based on category the market is divided into adult and paediatric. Spain places a high priority on pediatric healthcare, and investments in pediatric medical equipment, including mobility devices, are likely to contribute to the growth of the Pediatric segment. The focus on child well-being and healthcare access supports the demand for devices catering to the pediatric population. Spain's healthcare system may emphasize early intervention and rehabilitation for children with mobility impairments. Pediatric mobility devices play a crucial role in early intervention programs, supporting children in developing mobility skills and independence.
