Elderly Walkers Global Market Report 2025

The elderly walkers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.52 billion in 2024 to $1.63 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, increasing urbanization and lifestyle shifts, higher disposable income among senior citizens, rising life expectancy, and the growth of home healthcare services.

The elderly walkers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth projected for the forecast period is driven by the increasing global elderly population, rising prevalence of mobility-related health issues, growing awareness of fall prevention, heightened focus on elderly independence, and a higher incidence of arthritis and joint pain. Key trends during this period include advancements in walker design and technology, the availability of customizable and lightweight walkers, adoption of smart and connected walker devices, integration of ergonomic features for improved comfort, and the development of multi-functional walkers with additional capabilities.

The growing number of orthopedic procedures is expected to drive the growth of the elderly walkers market moving forward. Orthopedic procedures include both surgical and non-surgical treatments aimed at diagnosing and addressing issues related to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This increase is mainly fueled by the aging population, as older adults are more susceptible to musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis. Elderly walkers play a crucial role in supporting patients recovering from orthopedic procedures by improving stability, minimizing fall risk, and encouraging safe, independent mobility during rehabilitation. For example, in September 2023, Curvo Labs Inc., a US-based healthcare supply chain management company, reported that the number of knee replacement surgeries in the U.S. increased from 1,235,835 in 2021 to 1,299,084 in 2022, reflecting a steady rise in demand for orthopedic treatments. Consequently, the increase in orthopedic procedures is expected to fuel the growth of the elderly walkers market.

Leading companies in the elderly walkers market are focusing on creating advanced solutions, such as mobility tools, to improve safety, comfort, and independence for older adults.

Beyond being a support device, it promotes independence, encourages active lifestyles, and helps seniors feel more confident in their daily movements.
