The smart portable rehabilitation devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a swift expansion in the market size of smart portable rehabilitation devices in the past few years. The market, which is projected to surge from $2.88 billion in 2024 to $3.33 billion in 2025, is anticipated to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%.
The notable growth during the historic period can be linked to a rise in disability cases amongst the population, an escalated use of virtual reality for patient treatment, and an increased embrace of VR technology in the healthcare sector.
The smart portable rehabilitation devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for smart portable rehabilitation devices is anticipated to undergo swift expansion in the forthcoming years, with an estimated valuation of $5.85 billion in 2029, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%.
The anticipated growth can be linked to an aging population, a rise in non-communicable diseases, supportive policies for virtual rehabilitation, and a growing focus on patient-centred healthcare. Key trends during the forecast period incorporate product innovations, partnerships, advancements in virtual rehabilitation, fresh technology, and enhanced internet connectivity.
The growth of the smart portable rehabilitation devices market is anticipated to be spurred by the increasing elderly population. This population segment is made up of senior citizens and the elderly. These advanced portable rehab devices support the elderly in preserving their independence by offering the resources to self-monitor their health and partake in rehabilitation processes at their own rate. For example, in October 2022, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported that the proportion of people aged 60 and over had risen to 1.4 billion in 2022. Moreover, it is projected that by 2050, the global population of individuals aged 60 and over will hit 2.1 billion. Consequently, the burgeoning elderly population is contributing to the expansion of the smart portable rehabilitation devices market.

Prominent organizations within the smart portable rehabilitation devices marketplace are creating strategic alliances to maintain a superior position in the industry. Essentially a cooperative agreement between two or more entities striving for common benefits, a strategic partnership can be seen in the collaboration between Manipal Hospitals, rooted in India's healthcare sector, and Singapore's digital service provider, ConnectedLife. Initiated in March 2022, this collaboration aims to utilize Fitbit's wearable technology in order to facilitate consistent patient care following major surgeries like knee replacement, angioplasty, and cardiac bypass. This virtual partnership enables patient monitoring and guidance throughout their post-operative healing period, remotely. Data pertaining to aspects like heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep patterns, steps, and pain measurements will be monitored and documented before and after the surgical procedures through Fitbit devices and the patient monitoring system. The gathered information will then be transferred onto the ConnectedLife platform for medical professionals to evaluate.
