Physiotherapy equipment refers to a variety of specialized tools, devices, and machines used by physiotherapists to help in the rehabilitation, treatment, and prevention of physical impairments, injuries, and movement disorders. The goal of physiotherapy equipment is to enhance mobility, alleviate pain, improve strength, and support overall physical function.
The primary types of physiotherapy equipment include cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, continuous passive motion (CPM), ultrasound, electric stimulation, heat therapy, therapeutic exercise, and others. Cryotherapy involves the use of cold temperatures to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and minimize swelling, which promotes faster recovery and relieves muscle soreness. This treatment is applied in various fields such as neurology, musculoskeletal therapy, pediatrics, cardiovascular care, pulmonary treatment, and more. Physiotherapy equipment is commonly used by end-users such as hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and others.

This physiotherapy equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The physiotherapy equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.56 billion in 2024 to $21.05 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for physical rehabilitation, a growing focus on personalized healthcare, an expanding aging population, a rise in sports injuries, and an increasing incidence of chronic conditions.
The physiotherapy equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by rising healthcare spending, the growing incidence of musculoskeletal disorders, the expansion of digital physiotherapy solutions, the rising prevalence of obesity, and an increasing emphasis on improving patient outcomes. Key trends for the forecast period include the development of healthcare systems, advancements in medical technologies, the evolution of physiotherapy equipment, and innovations in physiotherapy tools and devices.
The increasing prevalence of osteoporosis is expected to drive the growth of the physiotherapy equipment market in the coming years. Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become fragile and more likely to fracture due to reduced bone density and strength. The rise in osteoporosis cases can be attributed to an aging population, sedentary lifestyles, and poor dietary habits. As life expectancy increases, more people are living into older ages, during which natural bone density loss occurs, making them more vulnerable to osteoporosis. Physiotherapy equipment plays a key role in managing osteoporosis by providing treatments that strengthen bones, improve balance, and enhance muscle function, thereby reducing the risk of falls and fractures. For example, in June 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported that osteoporosis was responsible for 2,659 deaths in 2022, equating to 10.2 deaths per 100,000 people and accounting for 1.4% of all deaths. As a result, the rising incidence of osteoporosis is driving demand for physiotherapy equipment.
Companies in the physiotherapy equipment market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as rehabilitation robots, to enhance patient recovery and improve treatment outcomes. These advanced rehabilitation robots integrate cutting-edge technologies, including AI, brain-computer interfaces (BCI), and high-precision sensors, to improve patient recovery, restore motor functions, and boost rehabilitation effectiveness. For instance, in November 2023, Syrebo, a China-based technology company, introduced the Hand Rehabilitation Robot (BCI) SY-BR09 and the Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot SY-UEA2. The SY-BR09 incorporates BCI technology to stimulate the brain for "top-down" neural reshaping, enhancing active movement awareness and significantly improving rehabilitation results. Meanwhile, the SY-UEA2 features a mobile chassis with high-precision optical positioning technology, offering targeted upper limb training to aid functional recovery.
In June 2022, Enovis Corporation, a US-based rehabilitation equipment manufacturer, partnered with Kelvi, Inc. to introduce innovative hot and cold therapy solutions for rehabilitation, recovery, and performance enhancement. This collaboration aims to improve treatment outcomes and aligns with Enovis' mission to promote healthier lifestyles through movement and activity. Kelvi, Inc., a US-based technology company, specializes in digital hot and cold therapy technology for rehabilitation.
