These factors are anticipated to drive the global PERS market in the coming years. Furthermore, many key market players are collaborating with different healthcare centers to launch innovative products, for instance,
In February 2021, Connect America partnered with Urban Health Plan Inc. to promote the importance of personal emergency response systems. The aim of the partnership was to provide remote patient monitoring facilities to patients.
The market report states that the COVID-19 pandemic had a mild impact on the global personal emergency response systems (PERS) market, as the virus outbreak affected the demand and production of several drugs and medical equipment. This slightly affected the supply chain and distribution channels of the market.
However, the increasing number of quarantine patients affected by the virus during the pandemic boosted the demand for alarming and emergency response systems. Many people adopted wearable devices and sensors for personal safety, which helped the market gain significant revenue.
Rising integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in emergency response systems is gaining significant popularity among the key market players, as it gives them scope for business expansion. This further helps in the growth of the market.
This increases the efficacy of the response systems and propels the demand for the alert systems. Furthermore, product innovations using technologies such as AI are projected to boost the global market.
On January 3, 2023, FallCall Solutions, LLC. partnered with Hua Hong Seng Co., Ltd. for the launch of its medical alert and emergency response systems in Australia. HSC Talius Smart Care System is used on iPhone and Android devices and is equipped with Bluetooth service.
Increasing number of old people require the assistance of personal emergency response systems, as they are susceptible to medical emergencies and chronic health conditions, such as heart attacks and falls.
Thus, high demand for PERS among old people across the world helps in the market growth. Moreover, the rising awareness about the benefits of using PER systems among people generates high demand for PER systems.
High cost of implementing PERS is expected to affect the market growth, as it requires initial set-up costs and subscription costs. This lowers the demand for PERS among people in developing countries with less per capita income.
Moreover, the rising availability of cheap alternatives of the systems affects the market growth. Additionally, the risk of false alarms and low efficacy of the systems to perform their task restrains its demand among people, which, in turn, hinders the market growth.
Rapid growth in healthcare infrastructure across various nations is creating growth opportunities for the key market players. Many key players are adopting novel technologies such as the Internet of Things and machine learning in their products and are focusing on product innovations. This is further anticipated to create lucrative opportunities in the market.

Based on type, the personal emergency response systems (PERS) market is divided into mobile devices, standalone devices, landline devices, mobile apps, transmitters, and others. The standalone devices segment is expected to expand at a major growth rate during the projection period, as they perform independently without requiring integration with the internet.
They are portable and are worn or carried along, which facilitates convenience and instant emergency calls. Moreover, these devices allow a person to operate independently indoors and outdoors. The geriatric population highly benefits from this type of PERS; thus, the segment is expected to help in significant revenue generation in the market.
The landline devices segment is anticipated to account for a significant market share during the forecast period, as they are easy to install and offer quick response. They also offer clearly audible instructions to the caregivers, which helps in providing effective care to the patients.
Furthermore, these systems use LAN technology, hence they are used within a wide feet range of areas in the house. Such factors increase the demand for PERS in home-based settings.
On the basis of component, the global market is segregated into fall detection, smoke detection, flood detection, pill-cord residential, bed sensors, and others. The fall detection segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, as falling is common and causes severe injuries, leading to hospitalization.
Fall detectors have a sensor that detects sudden movements and triggers emergency calls automatically. Additionally, this component is in high demand among old people, as they have less body stability. They are highly adopting PESRs with fall detection technology to stay safe. This is projected to drive the segment.
On the basis of end-user, the PERS market is segmented into home-based users, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and others. The assisted living facilities segment is expected to expand at a robust growth rate during the projection period, as several of these facilities use PERS for providing standard care services. Rising need of maintaining the safety and security of people is driving the demand for PERS in assisted living facilities, which further fuels the segment.
The home-based users segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market, owing to the rising number of old-aged patients who prefer to undergo medical treatments at home. They use PERS for personal emergencies and to seek help from their caregivers.
This aids caregivers to take care of the patients, thus propelling the segment during the assessment period. Increasing per capita income of people is encouraging them to spend on healthcare in home-based settings, which, in turn, propels the demand for PERS. For instance,
As per a report published on January 31, 2023, the global healthcare expenditure is expected to grow and reach over USD 10 trillion by the end of 2023. This is attributed to the rising public and government expenditure on healthcare during the pandemic.
In terms of region, the global PERS market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, due to the presence of a majority of market players in the region. Additionally, the region has a large pool of geriatric population, which needs an assistant for convenient living. Thus, the high demand for PER systems propels the regional market.
The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to the increasing old-age population in countries, such as China. Countries, including India, Japan, and Thailand, are registering high demand for PERS, as people in these countries are rapidly adopting modern technology and implementing it in their daily routines. These factors boost the market in the region.
