Market driver: growing healthcare expenditure

Expenses such as diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment facilities are known as healthcare expenditure, where the cost is incurred by the patients or part of it is reimbursed as per insurance coverage. The healthcare expenditure varies across the globe due to various factors such as increased disposable income, suitable reimbursement policies, and the availability of affordable healthcare facilities. Due to factors like these, people in developed countries such as the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, and France are capable of spending more on treatment which enables them to avail the sophisticated patient care as well as home-care services.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for orthopedics and general medical devices research, “There has been an increase in sale of sophisticated mobility products like manual and powered wheelchairs due to the increased number of patient care services supported by the high disposable income of people. However, in markets of APAC and MEA, owing to low healthcare expenditure, the trend of rapid adoption of mobility products is absent. Factors such as low disposable income, limited access to healthcare services, and unstructured healthcare reimbursement policies are limiting sales in such regions.”
