Adults older than 65 years of age registered to suffer from highest number of falls. Around 37.3 million falls need medical consideration each year. 

Surge in incidence of disabilities, favorable healthcare reforms, and rise in geriatric population coupled with increase in prevalence of chronic diseases act as the key factors that significantly contribute toward the growth of the global fall management market. For instance, according to WHO, the global population aged 60 and above is projected to reach 2 billion individuals by 2050. In addition, factors such as favorable reimbursement policies, and technological innovations in the field of fall management have propelled the adoption of fall management products, thereby driving the growth of the market.

Region Segment review

North America dominated the fall management market in 2018, and is expected to continue this trend throughout the forecast period, owing to increase in geriatric population in the region. In addition, surge in demand for fall management systems for improved quality of life and rise in adoption of technologically advanced systems in day-to-day lives are expected to drive the growth of fall management market in the U.S. Moreover, one of the major factors driving the growth of North American fall management market is upsurge in geriatric population across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. However, Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to presence of large population base in the region. Moreover, the geriatric population is growing at an unprecedented rate in the region, which augments the demand for fall management devices, thereby contributing toward the fall management market growth. This is attributed to rise in prevalence of age-related disorders such as weak eyesight and poor hearing condition, which increase the risk of fall and fall-related injuries among the geriatric population. As per the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), by 2050, approximately 1.3 billion population will be aged over 60 in the Asia-Pacific region. This rise in number of elderly people acts as key driver of the market, as they are highly susceptible to falls and fall-related injuries, which augments the demand for fall management services. In addition, the growth of the Asia-Pacific fall management market is majorly propelled by increase in adoption of fall management devices such as sensor pad and RFID tags among the Asian population.
