Senior Mobility Aid Devices Market Report 2025

The senior mobility aid devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.11 billion in 2024 to $11.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the aging global population, increased life expectancy, a rise in age-related mobility challenges, growing cases of osteoporosis and arthritis, and higher prevalence of neurological disorders.

The senior mobility aid devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing healthcare spending, greater government funding for elder care, the expansion of elderly care insurance programs, growth in the home healthcare sector, and a rising number of specialized mobility aid startups. Key trends during this period include innovations in lightweight and ergonomic designs, the integration of smart technologies, development of robotic and AI-powered assistive devices, the introduction of foldable and portable mobility aids, and advancements in battery technology for powered devices.

The rising rates of disability are expected to drive the growth of the senior mobility aid devices market. Disabilities are long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory conditions that can limit a person’s ability to participate fully and equally in society. The increase in disabilities is linked to the aging global population, which sees a higher prevalence of age-related conditions such as arthritis, dementia, and vision or hearing loss, leading to lasting impairments. Senior mobility aid devices play a crucial role in improving the independence and daily activities of individuals with disabilities by providing necessary support, stability, and easier movement. For example, in October 2024, the House of Commons Library in the UK reported that 16.1 million people had a disability during the 2022-23 financial year, representing 24% of the country’s population. This trend is expected to contribute to the expansion of the senior mobility aid devices market.

Companies in the senior mobility aid devices sector are focusing on developing advanced pedestrian-mobility-assistance models that offer cost-effective and non-invasive ways to improve mobility.

For instance, in March 2023, Toyota Motor Corporation, a Japanese automotive manufacturer, introduced the C+walk S. This three-wheeled mobility device is designed for seniors and others who have difficulty walking long distances, providing a safe and user-friendly means of transportation. It matches average walking speeds and has a sleek design suited to urban settings, allowing for easy side-by-side movement and social interaction. The device can assess the condition of the path ahead and is equipped with safety sensors to detect obstacles and help users avoid collisions, making it ideal for sidewalk travel.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
