Additionally, the number of people aged 65 years or older is anticipated to considerably surpass children younger than 5 years of age by 2050. Aging leads to the deterioration of facet joints resulting in several spinal disorders. Thus, the increasing prevalence of diseases in the growing geriatric population is likely to propel the growth of the market in the forecast period. Furthermore, the increasing use of medical insurance by the geriatric population and the middle-age population has ensured that they receive medical help at a reduced cost. Thus, insurance companies assist in covering mobility devices by reimbursing and making them much more affordable for consumers. The support from various government, private, and international insurance organizations are expected to boost the market demand globally.
