Market Dynamics
Drivers
The increasing number of seniors with musculoskeletal and circulatory issues remains a major driver. In Australia alone, 7.3 million people (29%) were living with chronic musculoskeletal conditions in 2022, according to AIHW. Growing obesity rates, poor circulation problems, and diabetic conditions globally have further accelerated adoption of electric foot & leg massagers.
Restraints
While demand continues to rise, higher product costs-especially those equipped with heated therapy, multiple massage modes, and adjustable intensity-limit accessibility among middle-income consumers. Professional spa centers offering manual massages also reduce the need for installing massaging devices.
Opportunities
AI-enabled massagers present significant growth prospects. In April 2025, UREVO introduced AI-powered wireless leg massagers capable of adjusting intensity and massage patterns based on real-time muscle tension detection. Growing consumer interest in customized wellness products, app-controlled devices, air compression features, and heat therapy settings is expected to drive robust market expansion through 2032.
