노인용 보행기 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Elderly Walkers Market was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% to reach USD 3 billion by 2034. This market expansion is being driven by a growing elderly population, rising demand for home-based care, a surge in orthopedic surgeries, and the increasing incidence of mobility impairments. Elderly walkers serve as essential assistive devices that provide users with improved balance, stability, and support. They are widely used by individuals experiencing leg weakness, arthritis, or difficulty in walking. A notable factor contributing to market growth is the increased adoption of e-commerce by manufacturers, who now offer walkers directly through their websites, thereby expanding accessibility and product reach.

Technological innovation in mobility solutions such as rollators is reshaping the landscape of this market. Smart-enabled features, such as app connectivity, GPS tracking, and remote control capabilities, are making these products more convenient and efficient for users. These smart rollators allow individuals to manage their settings via smartphones, monitor battery levels, and even navigate their devices, providing both safety and autonomy in daily mobility. As smart technology becomes a routine part of elderly care, demand for such connected mobility aids is expected to rise steadily.

The rollators segment held a 57.4% share in 2024, due to their customizable features and user-friendly support structure. Rollators, categorized into 3-wheeled and 4-wheeled models, are particularly suited for longer-term use when compared to standard walkers. The 4-wheel variants are especially favored for offering enhanced stability, versatility, and ease of use, which significantly benefits those with chronic mobility challenges or physical limitations.

The geriatric care segment held the highest share of 48.6% in 2024, supported by an aging population, increased spending power, and a global rise in orthopedic conditions. The prevalence of fall-related injuries among older adults remains a critical issue, prompting the widespread use of assistive walking devices. As falls are a leading cause of injuries among those aged 65 and above, the use of mobility aids such as walkers and rollators is increasingly seen as a preventive health measure.

U.S. Elderly Walkers Market was valued at USD 590.5 million in 2024. A key factor behind this growth includes a rise in obesity and inactivity across the population, leading to earlier onset of mobility issues. This, combined with strong insurance coverage for mobility aids and increasing consumer awareness, is driving product demand. The availability of various types of walkers, such as collapsible and multi-wheel options, is further supporting sales growth across the country.

Major players shaping the Global Elderly Walkers Market include TRIONIC, BESCO, KARMAN, drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, HUMAN CARE, CAREX, BETTER MEDICAL, MEDLINE, tynor, graham field, SUNRISE MEDICAL, Evolution WALKERS, TOPRO USA, vive health, and INVACARE. Companies operating in the elderly walkers market are focusing on product innovation by incorporating smart technologies, ergonomic designs, and lightweight materials to improve user experience and safety. Many are expanding their product portfolios to include both premium and budget-friendly models to cater to a broader consumer base. Key manufacturers are also strengthening their presence through direct-to-consumer online channels, improving accessibility and consumer reach. Strategic collaborations with healthcare providers and rehabilitation centers are allowing firms to integrate their products into institutional care. Additionally, players are investing in global distribution networks and after-sales support services to build customer loyalty.
