2024年,全球個人行動裝置市場規模達135.6億美元。預計到2033年,該市場規模將達到211.6億美元,2025年至2033年的複合年成長率為4.81%。目前,北美佔據市場主導地位,2024年的市佔率將達到35.8%。老年人口的成長、行動障礙盛行率的上升以及對獨立生活解決方案需求的激增,共同推動市場的發展。產品設計的進步,包括智慧功能、便攜性和人體工學舒適性,正在提升產品的可用性。
全球對個人行動裝置的需求主要源自於老年人口的成長和與行動相關的疾病病例的增加。隨著醫療保健水準的提高,全球預期壽命不斷延長,因此現在需要長期行動支援的人口比例更高。老年人最容易患上關節炎、骨質疏鬆症和其他影響運動和日常功能的肌肉骨骼疾病。這種現像在北美、歐洲和亞洲的發達和城市化地區尤為明顯,這些地區擁有完善的醫療體系和先進的醫療意識,提高了行動輔助設備的使用率。各國政府和醫療機構也在投資制定有利於無障礙和包容性的政策和基礎設施,從而提高了行動裝置的普及率。此外,人們對老年獨立生活和生活品質的認知不斷提高,促使用戶和護理人員接受技術先進的設備,從而推動了國際市場的穩定成長。例如,2025 年 1 月,Strutt 推出了配備 Co-Pilot 3D 感測器導航、智慧駕駛模式和更長電池續航里程的 Strutt ev1,為複雜空間帶來了智慧個人出行變革。
美國在個人行動裝置市場前景中佔據領先地位,預計2024年將達到約87.90%。這一領先地位背後的原因是美國擁有發達的醫療網路、高老齡人口以及廣泛的輔助醫療設備保險覆蓋。美國消費者也傾向率先採用尖端技術,這促使製造商推出融合電動推進、可折疊、GPS導航和遠端支援等功能的產品。消息人士透露,2024年1月,Sunrise Medical推出了Switch-It Vigo,這是一款無線頭部控制系統,可透過頭部運動直覺地使用電動輪椅,幫助行動不便者提高獨立性和溝通能力。此外,公共衛生計畫和監管援助也加強了醫院、老年護理中心和家庭護理環境的標準化和可及性。州和聯邦政府對獨立生活和包容性政策的日益重視,也促成了建築改造、公共交通的改善以及針對行動輔助設備使用者的經濟援助計劃。完善的實體和數位分銷網路,確保了各種產品能夠廣泛供應,滿足廣大用戶群的功能和美學需求。這些因素共同確保了該國在國際市場上佔據領先地位。
慢性病盛行率不斷上升
關節炎、糖尿病和多發性硬化症等慢性疾病發病率的上升正在推動市場成長。根據行業報告,截至2024年3月,骨關節炎影響了全球約7.6%的人口,預計2050年將上升60%至100%。長期健康狀況通常會導致行動不便和疲勞,因此輪椅、助行器和代步車等輔助設備對於日常生活至關重要。醫療專業人員經常推薦這些輔助設備來控制症狀並減輕壓力。此外,患有進行性疾病的患者正在尋求輔助設備,以便在家庭環境中保持自主活動。慢性疾病負擔日益加重,尤其是在老年人口中,這導致對個人化和便捷的行動解決方案的需求持續成長。
受傷率更高
不斷上升的受傷率,尤其是事故和職業危害造成的受傷率,正在推動市場成長。根據印度馬哈拉施特拉邦交通警察局發布的資料,該國國道和州公路上的事故總數從2023年的35,243起增加到2024年的36,084起。骨折、手術或脊髓損傷導致的暫時性或永久性行動不便,在復健階段通常需要輔助設備。年輕活躍的創傷復健者也推動了對輕便先進行動輔助設備的需求。隨著新興經濟體城市化活動的增加和快節奏的生活方式,交通事故和工傷的發生率激增,對輪椅、拐杖和助行器的需求持續成長。復健中心和醫院經常開立這些設備來輔助傷後行動,幫助病患恢復功能。
電子商務平台的擴展
電子商務平台的快速擴張帶來了良好的市場前景。根據IMARC Group的數據,2024 年全球電子商務市場規模達到 26.8 兆美元。線上平台使用戶(尤其是行動不便的用戶)無需離開家即可比較和購買產品。廣泛的選擇、有競爭力的價格、送貨上門和客戶評論增強了購買便利性和信心。電子商務通路也推廣實體店中不易買到的小眾和專業商品,讓人們更容易找到他們需要的確切行動解決方案。此外,數位平台通常包含詳細的產品規格和視訊演示,支援明智的決策。退貨政策和線上客戶支援的可用性增加了用戶滿意度。隨著線上零售在全球範圍內的持續擴張,它正在顯著提高市場覆蓋率。
技術進步
新技術的發展使設備更加輕巧、可折疊且方便用戶使用,以滿足用戶不斷變化的需求。電動控制、智慧感測器和全球定位系統 (GPS) 導航等功能正被整合到現代助行設備中。這些進步提升了功能性、安全性和便利性,尤其適用於行動不便的人。電動輪椅只需極少的體力投入即可提供更大的移動性。此外,智慧型裝置可以連接到行動應用程式,用於健康追蹤、路線規劃和緊急警報。隨著技術變得越來越普及且成本效益越來越高,製造商正專注於可客製化和數位化的產品。這種以技術為導向的轉型不僅提升了用戶體驗,還透過吸引年輕族群和精通科技的人來擴大市場基礎。
提高認知運動
由醫療機構、非政府組織和政府機構領導的宣傳活動正在推動個人行動裝置的需求。這些措施旨在向公眾普及助行設備的益處,減少社會歧視,並鼓勵人們(尤其是在老年人和殘疾人群體中)儘早採用。透過電視、社群媒體和社區外展計畫所進行的宣傳活動,推廣現有的解決方案,並將個人與支援服務連結起來。這些活動在農村或醫療服務匱乏的地區尤其有效,因為這些地區獲得醫療知識的機會有限。宣傳活動也能為護理人員和家人提供訊息,確保行動不便人士獲得適當的幫助。透過提高知名度和接受度,這些活動有助於培養人們對輔助科技更具包容性的態度。因此,越來越多的人開始積極主動地尋求能夠提高自身獨立性和生活品質的解決方案,從而刺激了個人行動裝置的需求。
多參與以行動為重點的體育運動和活動
人們對適應性運動和以移動性為重點的休閒活動日益成長的興趣,推動了市場的成長。越來越多的肢體殘障人士參與輪椅籃球、殘障自行車和馬拉松等需要專業行動裝置的運動。這種參與有助於促進包容性和積極生活的文化,鼓勵人們採用先進的設備來支持他們的生活方式目標。製造商正積極響應這一趨勢,推出性能卓越、經久耐用且可客製化的運動專用行動輔助設備。此外,公共活動和比賽有助於使行動裝置規範化,激勵人們尋求類似的健身和娛樂工具。隨著越來越多的組織投資於包容性體育項目,以及人們對各種體能活動意識的不斷增強,對高品質、適合運動的移動性解決方案的需求也在不斷成長。
The global personal mobility devices market size was valued at USD 13.56 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to reach USD 21.16 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.81% from 2025-2033.
