Heated Shoulder Wrap Market Report 2025

The heated shoulder wrap market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.12 billion in 2024 to $1.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth during the historic period was driven by the rising prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, increasing awareness of heat therapy benefits, expansion of rehabilitation and physiotherapy centers, growing adoption of home-based pain relief devices, and early product availability through retail pharmacies.

The heated shoulder wrap market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.82 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth during the forecast period is expected to be supported by technological integration with smart features, higher demand for wearable and portable healthcare devices, expansion of e-commerce distribution channels, growing focus on non-invasive and drug-free pain management, and a rising geriatric population with chronic pain needs. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include integration of smart temperature control systems, use of lightweight and breathable fabrics, incorporation of rechargeable and portable power sources, development of ergonomic and adjustable wrap designs, and adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable heating materials.

The increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is expected to drive the growth of the heated shoulder wrap market in the coming years. Musculoskeletal disorders refer to conditions or injuries affecting muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, or nerves, often resulting in pain and limited mobility. These disorders are becoming more common due to sedentary lifestyles, as prolonged sitting and reduced physical activity put strain on muscles and joints, contributing to long-term musculoskeletal issues. Heated shoulder wraps assist in managing these conditions by delivering targeted heat therapy that helps relax stiff muscles, boost blood circulation, reduce joint stiffness, and relieve localized pain in the shoulder area. For example, in June 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a national agency in Australia, reported that approximately 7.3 million people, or 29 percent of the population, were living with chronic musculoskeletal conditions in 2022. As a result, the rising prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is supporting the growth of the heated shoulder wrap market.

The rising popularity of fitness activities is expected to contribute to the growth of the heated shoulder wrap market going forward. Fitness activities involve planned, structured, and repetitive physical movements performed to improve or maintain health, physical fitness, and overall well-being. Interest in these activities is increasing due to heightened awareness of wellness, as individuals aim to enhance physical health, prevent chronic illnesses, and improve quality of life. Heated shoulder wraps contribute to post-workout recovery by delivering focused muscle relief, making them suitable for addressing soreness and fatigue following exercise. They provide consistent heat therapy, which reduces muscle discomfort and supports faster recovery, helping to improve overall exercise performance. For instance, in November 2023, Pure Gym Limited, a health company based in the United Kingdom, reported that 14 percent of the UK population were gym members during 2022 to 2023, with an additional 19 percent planning to join a gym within the following year. Consequently, the growing popularity of fitness activities is boosting the demand for heated shoulder wraps.

The increasing number of sports-related injuries is expected to support the growth of the heated shoulder wrap market in the near future. Sports-related injuries involve physical damage sustained during participation in athletic, exercise, or recreational activities. The rise in these injuries is due to more people engaging in sports and physical activities, increasing the likelihood of strain or trauma. Heated shoulder wraps play an important role in managing these injuries by offering localized heat therapy, making them effective for easing muscle strains and joint discomfort. They promote quicker recovery and reduce pain by enhancing circulation and relaxing tense muscles, aiding in both post-injury care and athletic performance. For example, in 2024, the U.S. National Safety Council, a nonprofit organization, reported 564,845 injuries related to sports and recreation, up from 482,886 injuries in 2023. Therefore, the growing incidence of sports-related injuries is contributing to the expansion of the heated shoulder wrap market.

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.
