The personal emergency response systems (pers) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.23 billion in 2025 to $8.97 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population growth, rise in independent living seniors, emergency healthcare demand, caregiver shortage, awareness of elderly safety.
The personal emergency response systems (pers) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.6 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart home integration, AI-based emergency detection, expansion of home healthcare, government elderly care programs, mobile health adoption. Major trends in the forecast period include growth of wearable emergency devices, GPS-enabled mobile PERS adoption, fall detection sensor integration, home-based elderly safety solutions, voice-activated emergency systems.
The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the personal emergency response systems (PERS) market in the coming years. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis, are long-lasting health conditions that require ongoing care. The rise in these diseases is largely due to poor lifestyle choices and an aging population. Factors such as unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption significantly contribute to the development of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. These behaviors increase the risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation, which are key factors in the onset of chronic conditions. As chronic diseases become more prevalent, the demand for PERS rises, as these systems provide continuous monitoring and quick access to medical help. PERS are essential for users, enabling them to contact emergency services or caregivers during health emergencies, ensuring safety and peace of mind. For example, in June 2024, the National Health Service in the UK reported that in 2023, half a million more individuals in England were at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, raising the total number of people with pre-diabetes to 3,615,330. This marked an increase of nearly 20% compared to 2022, highlighting the growing prevalence of chronic diseases and thus the demand for PERS.
Companies in the personal emergency response systems (PERS) market are focusing on developing advanced medical alert devices to improve real-time monitoring, emergency response, and proactive healthcare management. A medical alert device is an electronic system that provides immediate assistance during medical emergencies and typically includes a wearable help button that connects users to emergency services. For example, in February 2025, LogicMark, Inc., a US-based manufacturer of medical equipment, introduced the next-generation Guardian Alert 911 Plus. This advanced device features fall detection, 4G LTE technology, and a sleek, discreet design, offering hands-free fall detection and direct access to emergency services. This device is designed to enhance the safety and independence of aging adults and individuals with medical conditions without the added cost of recurring fees.
In May 2024, Medical Guardian, a US-based provider of personal emergency response systems (PERS), acquired MobileHelp for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Medical Guardian to combine PERS and remote patient monitoring (RPM) into a unified solution that better supports aging adults and individuals with chronic illnesses in various settings. MobileHelp, a US-based company, provides mobile-personal emergency response systems (M-PERS), and the integration of their solutions will enhance care while empowering users to live independently.
