Podiatry Chairs Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Product (Manual, Electric), By End Use (Hospitals, Clinics, Others) By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030
The global podiatry chairs market size was estimated at USD 1.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period. The increasing prevalence of foot disorders, technological advancements in podiatry chairs, rising demand for diabetic foot care, and the increased focus on foot health awareness are factors boosting market growth. According to an article published by AGS Health in Aging Foundation in February 2023, foot pain is a significant issue that can hinder mobility, leading to complications such as weight gain, muscle weakness, and weakening heart health. It's estimated that up to 87% of people experience foot pain at some point in their lives due to various causes. Among older adults, about one-third suffer from foot pain, stiffness, or aching feet.
Rising demand for diabetic foot care fuels the growth of the market. According to the American Medical Association article published in November 2023, diabetic foot ulcers are a common complication for individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, affecting about one-third of diabetic patients over their lifetime. Globally, around 18.6 million people, including 1.6 million in the U.S. each year, suffer from these ulcers. With nearly half of these ulcers becoming infected and around 20% of those infections leading to partial or full foot amputations, the demand for specialized diabetic foot care is on the rise. This growing need is driving the market for podiatry chairs, as healthcare providers seek advanced equipment to effectively manage and treat diabetic foot conditions.
Adherence to recommended foot care practices is critical for individuals with diabetes. Yet studies have shown that many patients fall short in this area, leading to potentially severe complications. According to the NCBI article published in October 2023, research indicates that about 44.3% of diabetic individuals do not adequately follow the advised foot care routines. This lack of adherence can contribute to the development of serious issues such as infections, ulcers, and even amputations. The findings highlight a significant gap in the management of diabetic foot care, emphasizing the urgent need for continuous education and support. These aspects drive the demand for the podiatry chairs market.
Increased focus on foot health awareness drives the growth of the market. According to the Whittier Street Health Center article, April 2024 marks National Foot Health Awareness Month, an initiative by the American Podiatric Medical Association (AMPA) to emphasize the importance of maintaining good foot health. This campaign highlights that foot health is crucial for well-being and an active lifestyle. With growing awareness of the need for proper footwear and foot care practices, more people seek professional advice for foot-related issues. As awareness rises, the demand for podiatric services and equipment, such as specialized podiatry chairs, is expected to increase, driving market growth.
