Increasing
participation in sports activities, increasing awareness about various
venous diseases and various such factors are the outcome of various
injuries. Such injuries and anatomical targets need to be compressed
with application of an external force, which has escalated demand for
equipment and tools related to compression. Due to such factors, the
global compression therapy market is projected to witness an upsurge in
growth. The compression therapy can be conducted with the application of
various garments and devices such as bandages, air pumps, boots or
gloves, and inflatable supplementary sleeves. Various hospitals and
clinics are increasingly purchasing various compression devices and
garments, due to surge in injuries, venous, diabetic or lymphatic
diseases. Inclination of various hospitals, clinics and medical stores
towards storage and application of such garments and devices add to list
of various factors projected to witness a boost in demand for various
compression garments and tools, which in turn is fueling growth of the
global compression therapy market in
the span of next six years. In 2014, the global compression therapy
market was valued at US$ 2,377.8 Mn. The global compression therapy
market is projected to reach US$ 3,232.3 Mn, expanding at a CAGR of 5.2%
over the forecast period, 2014-2020.
Key Market Dynamics
Surge
in old population, rising prevalence of diabetes, lymphatic diseases
venous diseases, and surge in sports injuries are a few factors, which
are estimated to boost demand for the range of compression equipment,
garments, and devices in the near future. Deep vein thrombosis, venous
eczema, diabetic foot ulcers, and lower limb edema are various kinds of
lymphatic diseases, where compression therapy tools, garments, and
devices find application, which in turn revs up growth of the global
compression therapy market in the near future. Into the bargain, owing
to developing technology regarding compression equipment, garments, and
devices flaunting additional features, are further responsible for
driving demand for the global compression therapy market. Such factors
are predicted to escalate growth of the market in the span of next six
years. The compression garments, devices, and equipment avoid the blood
from pooling into the legs, which in turn helps maintaining a health
blood circulation, throughout the body. Application of compression
therapy garments, and devices are mainly designed for application of
varying degree of pressure to anatomical targets.
Conversely,
rising threats of complications and insufficient reimbursement policies
pertaining to compression therapy garments, devices and equipment are
anticipated to inhibit growth of the global compression therapy market
in the upcoming years.
Segment Analysis
On
the basis of product type, the global compression therapy market is
segmented into dynamic compression therapy, and static compression
therapy. The dynamic compression therapy is further classified into
segmented pneumatic pumps, non-segmented pneumatic pumps, and others.
Whereas, the static compression therapy is further classified into
compression garments, diabetic shoes, compression bandages, and others.
Regional Analysis
On
the basis of region, owing to surge in old population in parallel to
rise in sports related injuries, North America is projected to retain
dominance in the compression therapy market in the span of next six
years. Nearly 1.3 Mn cases regarding sports injuries among youngsters
are annually reported in the U.S., according to Safe Kids Worldwide,
which is a global organization committed to avoiding children from
getting injured. Into the bargain, surge in obese population, and rapid
prevalence of diabetic issues are further predicted to boost demand for
compression garments, and devices, which in turn is estimated to
escalate growth of the compression therapy market in the upcoming years.
The compression therapy market of North America is projected to
escalate from US$ 2,377.8 Mn in 2014 to US$ 1,515.4 Mn, registering a
CAGR of 5.4% by 2020-end.
Attributed
to surge in incidences related to sports injuries, the compression
therapy market in Europe is estimated to witness a moderate growth.
France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the U.K. account for the major share
of the compression therapy market in Europe, in the upcoming years.
Around 4.5 Mn people beyond 15 years age limit are admitted in the
hospitals for treating sports related injuries annually, according to
the European Injury Database (IDB).
Furthermore,
owing to rising occurrences of sports injuries in various Southeast
Asian countries, such as India, the compression therapy market is
predicted to contribute significantly towards growth in the coming
years. Additionally, surge in old population, in parallel to rising
prevalence of diabetic issues are significantly supporting growth of the
compression therapy market in the span of next six years. India, Japan,
and China are projected to be the fastest growing countries in the
compression therapy market in Asia. Nearly, 21,334 incidences of sports
injuries occur annually in Asia, according to Asian Federation of Sports
Medicine (AFSM), which is a fragment of International Federation of
Sports Medicines (FIMS).
