Community engagement initiatives, such as exercise programs that improve balance and strength, further empower individuals to take proactive measures. As policies increasingly emphasize patient-centered care, there is a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance fall management protocols. By leveraging these drivers and opportunities, healthcare systems can significantly reduce fall incidents, improve patient outcomes, and promote overall well-being among adults, particularly in long-term care and rehabilitation settings.

Fall Management Market Overview

As per the World Health Organization (WHO), falls may lead to immobility and nursing home admissions, and they are also the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refers to falls as a prominent factor affecting people aged 65 or more by causing severe injuries. More than 14 million, i.e., 1 in 4 older adults, report suffering falls of varying intensities each year. According to a report published by the Population Division of the United Nations, the geriatric population of the world was ~600 million in 2021, and the number is further expected to reach 2 billion by 2050. Moreover, as per statistics published by the CDC in 2024, 1 out of every 10 falls results in injuries in older adults that lead to limitations in daily activities performed by them for a day or more or compel them to seek medical attention. Every year, older adults pay ~3 million visits to emergency departments to seek treatment for falls. Additionally, ~1 million fall-related hospitalizations occur annually in this demographic. Falls are also the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Therefore, the increasing incidence of falls along with population aging necessitates the development of fall management systems and solutions.

Companies are investing in advanced technologies for fall prevention and detection. In February 2024, Dozee, an Indian startup, introduced an innovative Fall Prevention Alert (FPA) feature in its artificial intelligence-based (AI-based) contactless remote patient monitoring (RPM) and early warning system (EWS). The FPA feature is designed to revolutionize patient safety in hospitals. Securitas Healthcare is one of the companies offering solutions to monitor and reduce patient falls by employing advanced fall alert systems. The company collaborates with trusted partners to enhance patient safety in hospitals by assisting them in implementing effective fall management protocols.

According to an article published in the Journal of Current Medical Research and Opinion in 2021, slips, trips, and fall accidents are the second most common cause of lost workdays in the US healthcare sector. The Hartford Financial Services Group also sites these three among the most common types of claims, collectively accounting for 66% of all claims in healthcare. Thus, they act as a significant source of loss for many industries. Market players are focusing on providing fall prevention solutions in healthcare facilities. In March 2024, HD Nursing, a leader in patient safety solutions, partnered with WellnessMats, a top provider of premium standing solutions. This collaboration was aimed to enhance comfort and safety while reducing fatigue and stress for healthcare professionals in hospitals and health systems. Such collaborations and investments by companies to manage the elevating number of fall incidences would fuel the fall management market growth during the forecast period.

Fall Management Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Preference for Home Care Bolsters Market Growth

As senior populations prefer to receive care at their homes, there is an increasing focus on fall management solutions suitable for home care settings. Portable alarm systems and non-slip mats, specifically designed for residential use, are becoming more popular among caregivers and patients' families. Manufacturers focus on the user-friendliness of fall management solutions for homecare environments, allowing seniors to maintain their independence while ensuring their safety. This trend of independence reflects a broader movement toward personalized care models that prioritize comfort and accessibility in managing health risks at home. In July 2024, Gamgee announced the launch of Gamgee Wi-Fi fall protection for the safety of elders. This innovative system utilizes existing Wi-Fi networks to provide a comprehensive solution for elderly care. It addresses the growing demand for effective fall detection and emergency response systems, enabling seniors to live independently and safely in their own homes.

The personalization of fall prevention programs is becoming more important as healthcare providers recognize that needs can vary significantly among patients. Tailored interventions based on specific risk factors such as mobility limitations or cognitive impairments are gaining traction. Healthcare facilities are likely to implement comprehensive assessments that inform customized fall management strategies for each patient. This approach of customization of fall management solutions for homecare settings not only enhances the effectiveness of interventions but also promotes greater patient engagement in their own care plans. Thus, the increasing preference for elderly care at home drives the progress of the fall management market.

Awareness Programs for Fall Prevention to Create Growth Opportunities

The fall management market is expected to grow with the soaring awareness of the necessity of fall prevention among healthcare providers, patients, and families. According to an article published in PubMed Central in July 2021, the number of grantees in the evidence-based fall prevention programs (EBFPPs) by the Administration for Community Living reached over 85,000 older adults during 2014–2019. Participation in the EBFPPs led to improved confidence, decreased fear of falling, and a reduction in both falls and injurious falls. Additionally, educational campaigns emphasizing the risk of falls and the significant repercussions have motivated healthcare facilities to emphasize fall prevention programs. The CDC launched the STEADI (i.e., Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries) initiative in 2012 to help healthcare providers prevent falls in older adults. This program focuses on delivering fall risk assessment tools, patient education materials, and evidence-based intervention strategies to healthcare providers. The CDC works with healthcare facilities to identify at-risk patients and promote measures such as exercise programs and home safety assessments to reduce fall incidents through community engagement and provider training.

In April 2024, Connect America, a leader in virtual care solutions, launched a fall prevention program to assist older adults and all those suffering from chronic conditions to live safely in their homes. This comprehensive program focuses on identifying and predicting fall risks while providing education and support to reduce fall cases among aging and at-risk populations. Therefore, the change toward proactive care highlights the importance of efficient fall management systems, ultimately creating market prospects for businesses that offer novel products designed to fulfill these growing expectations.
