Hand Rehabilitation Devices Global Market Report 2025

The hand rehabilitation devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.54 billion in 2024 to $1.74 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13%. Growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing cases of stroke-related hand impairments requiring long-term rehabilitation, a rising incidence of workplace and sports-related hand injuries driving therapy needs, growing emphasis on restoring hand functionality after orthopedic surgeries, increasing preference for noninvasive rehabilitation methods to avoid surgical interventions, and rising awareness of rehabilitation benefits among patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

The hand rehabilitation devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. Growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for personalized rehabilitation solutions tailored to individual recovery needs, increasing adoption of home-based therapy products for convenient long-term rehabilitation, a growing focus on early intervention to reduce long-term disability from hand disorders, an expanding geriatric population contributing to higher demand for mobility and strength restoration devices, and increasing preference for noninvasive rehabilitation approaches to support faster recovery. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in sensor-based rehabilitation tools enabling precise movement tracking, innovation in wearable rehabilitation aids designed for continuous therapy support, integration of remote rehabilitation features that allow supervised home-based recovery, advancements in patient engagement methods such as interactive therapy exercises, and the development of data-driven assessment approaches for monitoring improvements in hand function.

The increasing prevalence of neurological disorders is expected to drive the growth of the hand rehabilitation devices market. Neurological disorders are conditions that impact the brain, spinal cord, or nerves, affecting movement, cognition, sensation, or other bodily functions. These disorders occur when the nervous system is damaged or functioning improperly. The rise in neurological disorders is largely due to the global aging population, as older adults are more susceptible to age-related nervous system conditions, leading to an increase in disorders such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and functional neurological disorders. Hand rehabilitation devices play a vital role in these conditions by helping patients recover hand movement and strength through therapeutic exercises that retrain the brain and muscles to improve functional control. For example, in March 2025, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the U.S. estimated that between 50,000 and 100,000 people in the UK would be living with functional neurological disorders (FND), with the prevalence rising annually. This growing burden of neurological disorders is driving the demand for hand rehabilitation devices.

The increasing healthcare investments are contributing to the growth of the hand rehabilitation devices market. Healthcare investments encompass public funding for health services, facilities, and equipment, aiming to enhance medical infrastructure, improve patient outcomes, and support the integration of advanced technologies into healthcare systems. With rising healthcare expenditure, more resources are being directed toward research and development, which helps subsidize the costs of innovative hand rehabilitation devices and integrate them into patient care programs. For example, in April 2025, The Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the UK reported that government-financed healthcare spending reached USD 2.91 billion (£258 billion) in 2024, reflecting a 2.5% real-term increase from 2023. This surge in healthcare funding is bolstering the market for hand rehabilitation devices by supporting the development and availability of such technologies.

Companies in the hand rehabilitation devices market are also focusing on innovative solutions like soft robotic rehabilitation systems to improve recovery outcomes for individuals with motor impairments. A soft robotic rehabilitation system is a wearable assistive technology designed to enhance hand and finger movements using flexible robotic actuators, providing safer and more effective therapy. For example, in July 2024, Imago Rehab, a U.S.-based company specializing in telerehabilitation and wearable robotics, secured $250,000 in funding as part of a $2.5 million offering. This investment supports the development of Imago’s soft robotic glove, which helps stroke survivors regain hand mobility through inflatable chambers that guide the fingers’ movements. The glove, integrated with Imago’s remote therapy platform, allows real-time clinician monitoring and personalized exercise programs, enabling at-home rehabilitation without needing traditional clinic visits. This soft robotic glove improves therapy accessibility, increases patient engagement, and enhances functional recovery for individuals with motor impairments.

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.
