Vodafone and Mencap enter into a partnership for the global disability devices market

 

Disability Devices Market

North America is expected to dominate the global disability devices market and this is attributed to the high presence of the geriatric population and this is creating demand for disability devices. According to the Urban Institute, the number of Americans ages 65 and older will more than double over the next 40 years, reaching 80 million in 2040. The number of adults ages 85 and older, the group most often needing help with basic personal care, will nearly quadruple between 2000 and 2040.

Growing government initiatives and increasing cases of disability due to accidents are contributing to the growth of the disability devices market. According to the World Health Organization, every year the lives of approximately 1.35 million people are cut short as a result of a road traffic crash. Between 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability as a result of their injury. The growing geriatric population around the globe is another key factor driving the need for disability devices, this is again fostering the growth of the market. The increasing launch of innovative products in disability devices will further favor the growth of the disability devices market. For instance, in April 2019, Ikea has launched its ThisAbles range of add-on products that aims to improve the lives of disabled people by making everyday tasks simpler, such as bumpers for bookshelves, extra-large zippers, and corner markers for shelves.

Rehabilitative or disability devices are medical devices or equipment that can assist disabled or injured persons in daily activities. These devices provide daily assistance and can improve the functional capacity, physical abilities, mental health, and self-esteem of the person using the device. Rehabilitative devices are designed to help disabled or injured persons to improve their lives and the quality of their lives by helping them to perform tasks that would be difficult for them to do on their own. There are a number of rehabilitation devices currently being used to help people with disabilities improve their lives.

Key Developments:

1.      In November 2019, Phoenix Medical Systems has joined hands with the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, to launch the country’s first-ever indigenously designed standing wheelchair
