Medical Alert System Personal Emergency Response System Market Report 2025

The medical alert system personal emergency response system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.42 billion in 2024 to $11.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for independent living among aging individuals, increasing incidences of falls and accidents among the elderly, a growing need for real-time health monitoring systems, expanded integration of telehealth and remote monitoring solutions, and increased investments in healthcare infrastructure and digital health.

The medical alert system personal emergency response system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.49 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing elderly population, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, a growing number of individuals living alone, higher demand for home healthcare services, and rising healthcare expenditures. Key trends during this period include advancements in wearable technology, improvements in fall detection systems, developments in wireless communication technologies, a technology-driven shift toward cloud-based monitoring platforms, and innovations in user interface design.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the medical alert system and personal emergency response system market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-term health conditions that develop gradually and often require ongoing medical care. This increase is partly linked to sedentary lifestyles, as prolonged inactivity and minimal physical exercise elevate the risk of conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Medical alert systems and personal emergency response systems support chronic disease management by enabling real-time health monitoring and providing emergency assistance. They improve patient safety and independence by issuing timely alerts and connecting users with caregivers or medical services during critical health events. For example, in June 2024, the UK’s National Health Service reported that 3,615,330 individuals registered with a general practitioner (GP) were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia or pre-diabetes in 2023 - an 18% increase from 3,065,825 cases in 2022. As a result, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the medical alert system and personal emergency response system market.

Key players in the medical alert system and personal emergency response system market are developing advanced products, such as next-generation personal emergency response devices, to enhance safety, accelerate response times, and support independent living. These devices are smart, connected systems equipped with features like fall detection, GPS tracking, and health monitoring to provide faster and more reliable emergency support. For instance, in February 2025, LogicMark Inc., a US-based medical company, launched the Guardian Alert 911 Plus, a next-generation personal emergency response system offering 24/7 on-the-go safety with 4G LTE connectivity, fall detection, and no monthly fees, allowing users to directly contact 911 at the push of a button. The device empowers older adults and individuals with medical conditions to live independently while offering peace of mind for users and caregivers.

In May 2024, Medical Guardian LLC, a US-based healthcare technology company, acquired MobileHelp from Advocate Aurora Enterprises for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Medical Guardian aims to expand and enhance its senior healthcare solutions by integrating MobileHelp’s advanced personal emergency response and remote patient monitoring technologies, strengthening its ability to help aging adults live safely and independently. MobileHelp is a US-based healthcare technology firm providing mobile medical alert systems and emergency monitoring services.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

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.

A medical alert system, or personal emergency response system (PERS), is an electronic device that enables users to request immediate help during medical or personal emergencies. It typically consists of a wearable pendant or wristband with a button that connects to emergency services or caregivers when pressed.
