The global stair lift market is experiencing a significant surge, driven by the increasing number of multi-story homes and the rising demand for accessibility solutions for individuals facing mobility challenges. This upward trend is highlighted in a new report by Fact.MR, which estimates the market to reach a value of US$ 1.58 billion in 2024, poised for further expansion at a robust CAGR of 7.1% between 2024 and 2034.
The market’s growth is underpinned by the widespread adoption of stair lifts in hospitals, where they assist elderly patients with limited mobility in navigating their surroundings. The increasing number of people experiencing injuries that impact mobility and bodily movements is another key driver. Stair lifts provide essential assistance for individuals who struggle to ascend stairs due to these conditions, making them a vital tool for regaining independence. Additionally, the prevalence of muscular disorders like Parkinson’s disease, which affect muscle control and mobility, further necessitates the use of stair lifts for everyday activities, bolstering market prospects for manufacturers.
The industry is set to benefit from favorable market conditions as long-term health conditions become increasingly prevalent among the general population. The report forecasts the global stair lift market to achieve a valuation of US$ 3.13 billion by the end of 2034.
