What is the Massage Equipment Market size?

The global massage equipment market size is expected to reach USD 12.4 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 8.6% over the forecast period. Growing importance of healthy lifestyle among all age groups at the global level as a result of extensive brand campaigns aimed at maintaining fit body is projected to expand the scope for massage equipment. Additionally, hectic workstyle due to excess of 8 to 9 hours of desk jobs among working-class professionals has led to increasing in the occurrence of constant pain in the neck, shoulder, knee, and hip joints. Light massage at a certain interval can help the common mass overcome these issues and lead a healthy life. Thus, the corporate organizations and multi-national firms started installing massage chairs, sofas, and other equipment to resolve everyday issues and ensure quick relaxation.

Arthritis has evolved as one of the most common ailments across the world. Affected patients suffer from swelling, tenderness, stiffness, and joint pain, which typically worsens with age. As of 2019, it was observed that around 350 million people worldwide suffer from arthritis, where 40 million patients are located in U.S. More than a quarter-million of these patients were kids and 60% of the total patients in U.S. were females. Massage through various techniques can provide a huge relief to incessant pain. Neuroscientists have noticed that massage helps in activating those parts of brain, which are triggered under the influence of opioid painkillers such as codeine.

Some of the key massage equipment market players are OSIM International Ltd.; JSB Healthcare; Panasonic; Prospera; Casada International; RoboTouch; and Prospera.
