The anticipated rise in the number of spinal cord injuries is set to drive the growth of the hydrotherapy equipment market in the future. Spinal cord injuries involve damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the spinal canal's end, often resulting in changes in strength, sensation, and other bodily functions. Hydrotherapy, as a rehabilitation method for spinal cord injuries, proves effective in developing balance, strength, and movement patterns. It serves as a safe and engaging form of physical therapy when supervised by trained physical therapists. According to the United Spinal Association in July 2022, approximately 17,700 Americans acquire a spinal cord injury each year, with roughly 78% being men. Therefore, the high incidence of spinal cord injuries is a significant driver for the expected growth of the hydrotherapy equipment market.

The increasing demand for pain management is also expected to propel the growth of the hydrotherapy equipment market. Pain management is a medical care branch focused on alleviating or controlling pain. Hydrotherapy contributes significantly to pain management by providing immediate pain relief, promoting muscle relaxation, easing tension, enhancing blood circulation, fostering joint flexibility and mobility, and helping reduce inflammation. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States, about 21% of adults experience chronic pain, with 8% experiencing high-impact chronic pain (HICP). Additionally, each year witnesses a high incidence of new chronic pain cases, with 52.4 new cases per 1,000 people. Hence, the increasing demand for pain management is a driving force behind the expected growth of the hydrotherapy equipment market.
