According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global physiotherapy equipment market size is expected to grow from USD 18.40 billion in 2022 to USD 34.57 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.90% from 2022 to 2033. Physiotherapy is very much beneficial in the holistic treatment of a range of injuries, diseases, and disorders. This helps not only in managing the symptoms of the issues, but also in improving endurance, strength, movements, and function in the treatment areas. Physiotherapy treatments are proving with using different types of equipment which are used in clinics and hospitals as well as at home during in-home physio sessions. Physiotherapy equipment’s are Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) equipment which are used for electrotherapy after an accident, spinal cord injuries or stroke, on muscles that have been severely damaged. They are used when the muscles are so weak, where traditional exercises are not an option for the patient.
Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a widely recommended and utilised therapy by physiotherapists. Interferential Treatment makes use of the major physiological effects of low frequency electrical stimulation of nerves at roughly 250pps.
During the COVID-19 overall growth of different-different sectors has been heavily impacted. Industries such as hospitality, aeronautics and oil & petroleum are experiencing a decent fall in revenue, while pharmaceutical, biotechnology & healthcare industries are using this situation to serve hospitals and patients.

Physiotherapy equipment industry are looking at the new technology, it is an exciting time to be in sports rehabilitation. Specifically, in physiotherapy, biomechanisms use 3D motion analysis to assess movement, in sports therapy and rehabilitation we rely on technologies such as cryo- and hydro-therapy to speed up the process of recovery, and we have already discussed two other new techniques above.
There will be blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy, trigger point dry needling, pelvic floor physical therapy, physical therapy for headaches and jaw pain, vestibular & balance therapy are modern PT Techniques that can benefit the Physiotherapy. Market players are expected to benefit from advances such as virtual reality, robotics, exoskeletons, implants, and interactive video games.

Based on type, the ultrasound segment dominated the market of physiotherapy equipment with a decent share in 2022 and is expected to register a highest CAGR during the period. Ultrasound therapy is an electrotherapy which has been used in physiotherapy practices for many years. As a result of the non-thermal effect of high frequency sound waves, cellular fluids are vibrated and moved. Ultrasound therapy also speeds up the healing process by reducing edema and swelling. Segment growth is attributed to regulatory approvals and innovative product launches by manufacturers. In order to treat musculoskeletal disorders, BTL received FDA approval for its BTL-4000 Smart and Premium line.
Additionally, ultrasound devices can improve the resolution time of inflammation by increasing blood flow to the affected area. Moreover, it also assists in stimulating the production of collagen during tissue healing. Based on this, the ultrasound segment will impact positively during the forecasting period.
The U.S.A accounts the highest market share in North American physiotherapy market and is also expected to continue, during the forecasting period.
