Middle East Physiotherapy Market Executive Summary

The Middle East physiotherapy market size was valued at $2.12 Bn in 2022 and is estimated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.85% from 2022 to 2030 and will reach $3.61 Bn in 2030. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and healthcare expenditure of Middle Eastern countries vary widely. Some countries in the Middle East, such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, have high GDPs and significant healthcare expenditures. Others, such as Yemen and Syria, have lower GDPs and less healthcare expenditure.

In many Middle Eastern countries, the proportion of older adults (aged 65 and over) is expected to increase in the coming decades. For example, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the proportion of older adults is projected to increase from 5% in 2015 to 15% in 2050. Similarly, in Saudi Arabia, the proportion of older adults is projected to increase from 5% in 2015 to 12% in 2050. As the population ages, healthcare systems in the Middle East are likely to face increased demand for services such as geriatric care and chronic disease management including physiotherapy.

Patients can undergo physiotherapy treatments from service providers to manage injuries and illnesses as an alternative to medication and surgery. Physiotherapy uses cryotherapy in a variety of methods. Edema and postoperative pain can be successfully treated with continuous passive motion machines. Iontophoresis, a type of electrical stimulation used in physical therapy, helps the body absorb drugs. Heat therapy can promote a greater range of motion in the muscles and soft tissues, improving blood flow and circulation. In a range of physiotherapy practice areas, high-level data from research has shown the value of therapeutic exercise for patients. The Middle East market for physiotherapy services is expected to be driven by the ageing population, which needs therapeutic exercise.

Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers

The ageing population in the Middle East is driving the market for physiotherapy equipment in that area. Loss of muscle mass, a decline in bone density, stiffer joints, and internal imbalances are all effects of ageing on the body. Numerous healthcare interventions have been put into place in the UAE to better the lives of the elderly. Exercise under the direction of a physiotherapist is therefore strongly encouraged for older people in order to regain the physical function required for everyday living. Seniors who receive this therapy gain from it in a variety of ways, such as reduced heart disease risk, improved mood and self-esteem, reduced risk of falling, and more. The aforementioned elements cause the senior population to have a need for physiotherapy equipment.

Due to the increased incidence of joint issues and sports injuries, it is projected that the Middle Eastern market for physiotherapy equipment would grow. Participating in sports can lead to injuries, fractures, pains, and strains. Sports-related injuries are extremely painful, keep athletes from competing in the future, and cause significant suffering. These people want confidence that the injury won't affect their performance going forward as well as quick pain alleviation. As a result, more specialized athletic rehabilitation centers are emerging, expanding the local market.

The Middle Eastern region sees an annual increase in the number of people with CVDs, which is fueling the market's growth. Despite the increased mortality rate among those with CVDs, most people still prefer to have physical therapy since it can assist the blood flow swiftly to the heart, which can help open up the vessels and strengthen the strength of the heart muscles. Additionally, the growth of technological advancements in physiotherapy equipment is favorable to the expansion of the Middle Eastern market. As a result, industry participants are working more on developing cutting-edge physiotherapy equipment to increase the devices' effectiveness for patient safety while also enhancing their efficiency. Regional economic growth will also be fuelled by the creation of mobile application apps and an environment for computer-assisted rehabilitation.

Market Restraints

Acupressure therapy is a great addition to physical therapy. The popularity of acupressure therapy clinics and people's preference for the therapy, however, is causing a decline in the demand for physiotherapy equipment. Due to a lack of skilled workers to run the therapeutic equipment, the local market cannot grow. Other problems including poor payment methods and a lack of awareness of the advantages of physiotherapy in various Middle Eastern locations are also limiting the growth pace of the Middle Eastern physiotherapy equipment business.

Healthcare Policies and Regulatory Landscape

Policy changes and Reimbursement scenario of the Middle East Physiotherapy Market

In the Middle East, physiotherapy equipment regulations vary by country. Some countries in the Middle East, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have well-established regulatory frameworks for medical devices, while others may have less developed regulatory systems.

In the UAE, medical devices, including physiotherapy equipment, are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) and the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). Medical devices must be registered with MOHAP before they can be imported, distributed, or sold in the UAE. The registration process includes an evaluation of the device's safety, efficacy, and quality, as well as a review of the manufacturer's quality management system.

In Saudi Arabia, physiotherapy equipment is regulated by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). Medical devices must be registered with the SFDA before they can be imported or sold in the country. The SFDA evaluates the safety, efficacy, and quality of medical devices, and also inspects manufacturing facilities to ensure compliance with good manufacturing practices.
