The global bathroom and toilet assist devices market size is expected to reach USD 7.72 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growth in the market can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and aging population, resulting in a rise in the population with disabilities.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and osteoporosis are chronic medical conditions that significantly impact an individual's mobility & quality of life. RA often causes pain and stiffness in the joints, making it difficult for patients to walk or move around freely. According to WHO, nearly 18 million people worldwide suffer from RA. Moreover, assistive devices like shower chairs & stools, bath lifts, or bath aids provide stability and support, reducing the risk of falls. According to a Global RA Network article, arthritis is a leading cause of physical disability in North America. It has a higher disability-causing factor than other conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and other physical ailments. In addition, within 10 years of RA onset, if untreated, nearly 50% of the patients are unable to stay at their jobs due to disability.
Furthermore, the rising number of technologically advanced products in developed regions is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2023, SedMed, a mobility product company, launched SedMed Toilet Lift, a seating device/lift. SedMed Toilet Lift can elevate up to 80% of a patient's body weight and assists the user in getting on & off the toilet.
