Smart Elderly Fall Detection Rug Global Market Report 2025

The smart elderly fall detection rug market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2024 to $1.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing aging population, rising awareness of fall risks among families and caregivers, growing preference for aging in place, higher healthcare expenditures on elder care, expansion of senior and assisted living facilities, and greater focus on insurance and reimbursement for fall prevention.

The smart elderly fall detection rug market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing burden of fall-related injuries and associated costs, rising demand for home-based safety solutions, growing caregiver workforce gaps and burnout, surge in chronic conditions affecting mobility, expansion of home modifications for accessibility, and greater policy focus on patient safety and quality metrics. Key trends during the forecast period include technological advancements in pressure-sensing textiles, improvements in on-device pattern recognition for fall detection, innovations in privacy-preserving vision systems, developments in seamless integration with smart home ecosystems, research and development in energy-efficient wireless communication modules, and progress in cloud-based caregiver dashboards.

The rising demand for real-time monitoring systems is expected to drive the growth of the smart elderly fall detection rug market in the coming years. Real-time monitoring systems are technologies that continuously collect, transmit, and analyze data to provide immediate feedback or alerts, enabling swift responses to critical situations. Adoption of these systems is increasing due to the growing prevalence of chronic health conditions among older adults, which heightens the need for continuous, data-driven oversight to ensure timely intervention and safety. Smart elderly fall detection rugs support real-time monitoring by using embedded sensors to detect falls instantly and transmit alerts for immediate caregiver response. For example, in August 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services, a US-based government agency managing federal healthcare programs, reported that nearly one million Medicare enrollees received remote patient monitoring services in 2024, reflecting a 27 percent increase from 2023. This demonstrates that rising demand for real-time monitoring systems is fueling growth in the smart elderly fall detection rug market.

Leading companies in the smart elderly fall detection rug market are focusing on integrating technological innovations such as artificial intelligence powered ambient sensing to enhance monitoring accuracy and fall prevention efficiency. AI-powered ambient sensing uses radar or environmental sensors combined with machine learning algorithms to interpret motion patterns, vital signs, and environmental cues without direct contact, enabling functions such as real-time movement analysis, early anomaly detection, and predictive alerts. For instance, in March 2025, FallCall Solutions, a US-based digital health technology company specializing in connected safety systems, partnered with RANiX, a South Korea-based semiconductor and sensor technology company, to launch an AI-powered radar system aimed at preventing hospital bed falls. The system monitors patient motion, heart rate, and respiratory rate, featuring compact radar integration at the bed footboard, continuous data streaming to a cloud-based analytics platform, and automated caregiver alerting. This technology improves fall prevention responsiveness, enhances patient safety through continuous monitoring, and increases care efficiency by reducing the need for manual supervision.

In November 2023, Future-Shape GmbH, a Germany-based developer of sensor flooring solutions for health, safety, and mobility monitoring, partnered with ProKNX to develop an integrated fall detection and communication system for elderly care environments. This collaboration combines Future-Shape’s SensFloor smart flooring technology with ProKNX’s Aragon voice assistant to automatically detect falls, initiate two-way communication, and alert caregivers in real time, aiming to enhance safety and independence for older adults. ProKNX is a France-based manufacturer of intelligent voice-controlled home automation systems.

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 sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
