Personal Emergency Response Systems Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast Segmented By Product Type, By Component, By End-User, By Region, and Competition, 2020-2030F

Description

The Global Personal Emergency Response Systems Market, valued at USD 15.78 Billion in 2024, is projected to experience a CAGR of 8.10% to reach USD 25.18 Billion by 2030. A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an electronic device designed to enable individuals, particularly older adults and those with medical conditions, to summon immediate assistance in the event of a fall, accident, or other emergency, connecting them to caregivers or emergency services. The global market for these systems is primarily driven by a rapidly aging worldwide population and a growing societal emphasis on independent living for seniors. Further impetus comes from increasing awareness regarding the safety and independence benefits provided by PERS, alongside supportive government initiatives that encourage aging in place.

Key Market Drivers

The increasing global geriatric population profoundly influences the demand for Personal Emergency Response Systems. As individuals live longer, the need for solutions that support independent living while ensuring safety becomes more pronounced. This demographic shift often brings age-related health challenges, including a higher incidence of falls and chronic conditions, which necessitates continuous monitoring and immediate access to emergency assistance. According to the World Health Organization, in February 2025, the number of people aged 60 and older worldwide is projected to increase from 1.1 billion in 2023 to 1.4 billion by 2030, highlighting a significant demographic shift. This growing segment of the population actively seeks tools that enable them to remain in their homes safely, directly driving the expansion of the PERS market.

Key Market Challenges

The substantial initial cost associated with some Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) deployments represents a significant impediment to market expansion. While these systems offer crucial safety and independence benefits, the upfront investment can create a formidable financial barrier for a considerable portion of the target demographic. Many older adults and individuals with medical conditions operate on fixed incomes or have limited disposable income, making a significant purchase for a PERS device challenging. This financial constraint directly hinders the adoption rate, preventing many who could greatly benefit from these systems from acquiring them. According to the National Council on Aging, in 2023, 80% of Americans aged 60 and over, approximately 47 million individuals, lacked the financial resources to cover long-term care services or withstand a significant financial shock. This widespread financial vulnerability underscores why the cost of acquiring a PERS can deter potential users, thereby slowing the overall growth of the Global Personal Emergency Response Systems Market.

Key Market Trends

The evolution towards miniaturization and wearable form factors marks a crucial shift from bulky, traditional emergency devices to sleek, unobtrusive designs. This transformation enhances user comfort and reduces the stigma often associated with medical alert systems, encouraging consistent wear and thereby improving efficacy. Devices such as smartwatches and discreet pendants integrate advanced functionalities, allowing for continuous wear and seamless integration into daily routines. According to the International Council on Active Aging, wearable technology held the number one spot for fitness trends in 2024, demonstrating widespread acceptance of these compact devices. This move towards more appealing and integrated designs directly supports higher adoption rates and broader market reach for PERS. Assisted Living Technologies, Inc. for example, offers a PERS Smartwatch LTE that includes heart rate monitoring and enhanced fall detection, exemplifying this trend towards discreet, feature-rich devices.
