The assistive technology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.16 billion in 2025 to $34.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited awareness of assistive technologies, high cost of devices, inadequate distribution channels, growing aging population, reliance on manual assistive aids.
The assistive technology market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $49.07 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in ai-powered assistive robotics, development of ar/vr-based rehabilitation tools, increased government and ngo support, expansion of smart home and connected devices, rising investment in mobile assistive applications. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of wearable assistive devices, increasing demand for home care and remote assistance solutions, integration of mobile applications for disability support, growing focus on cognitive and sensory assistance tools, expansion of inclusive educational and employment programs.
The rising demand for remote and telehealth services is expected to drive the growth of the assistive technology market in the coming years. Remote and telehealth services enable healthcare delivery and medical consultations through digital communication platforms without requiring in-person visits. This growing demand is fueled by the convenience of accessing healthcare from home, reducing travel time, and ensuring timely medical consultations. Assistive technology supports these services by enabling patients with disabilities or impairments to communicate effectively, access medical information, and engage in virtual consultations seamlessly. For example, in December 2023, the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK reported 33.6 million registered users on the NHS App, with monthly logins increasing 54% over the past year, from 16.8 million to 25.8 million. Hence, the surge in remote and telehealth adoption is bolstering the growth of the assistive technology market.
Key players in the market are developing advanced solutions such as AI-powered low-vision apps to improve accessibility and provide personalized visual support. Low-vision assistive apps are smartphone applications that enhance clarity and allow users with visual impairments to customize their view of surroundings. For instance, in September 2023, ReBokeh Vision Technologies, Inc., a US-based assistive technology company, launched ReBokeh Plus, an upgraded AI-powered app for individuals with moderate vision impairment. The app applies real-time video filters and adjusts contrast, sharpness, and other visual elements to improve clarity, with enhanced customization options for a personalized visual experience. This innovation exemplifies the focus on enabling visually impaired individuals to interact with their environment more comfortably and independently.
