Clothes designed for people with physical disabilities and the elderly, infirm, and post-surgery patients are known as adaptive clothing. These people prefer adaptive clothing as it is easy to dress and undress themselves. Adaptive clothes are generally replaced with magnetic closures from the buttons and zipper. These garments makes it easier for caretakers or caregivers to dress or undress patients or people that lack the full range of motion required for self-dressing. Adaptive clothing is available for people suffering from spinal cord injury, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, incontinence, contractures, and others.
Market Dynamics
Adaptive clothing is designed for adults & children with disabilities, elderly, and the infirm people who may find it challenging to dress themselves due to an inability to manipulate closures such as buttons and zippers.
Furthermore, these clothes do not have conventional buttons or zippers as these are replaced by Velcro and magnetic closures, and are designed with stretchy fabric. However, adaptive clothing such as jumpsuits thatare made for patients suffering from Down syndrome include zippers to prevent wearer from disrobing.
Growing prevalence of diabetes is expected to drive the global adaptive clothing market growth over the forecast period. There has been rising demand for adaptive clothing such as adaptive socks in the hospital & healthcare centres. Adaptive clothes are used by diabetic patients that help them to prevent the foot from potential fungal or microbial infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in November 2021, the number of people with diabetes had increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 globally. Prevalence of diabetes has been rising more rapidly in low- and middle-income regions such as Africa and Latin America than in high-income regions such as North America and Europe. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive the global adaptive clothing market growth during the forecast period.
Adaptive clothing is used in hospitals as it makes it easier for caretakers, nurses, and hospice workers to undress and dress patients. Patients with disorders like paraplegia, arthritis, and quadriplegia prefer to wear adaptive attire. Clothing is essential for patients to receive therapy. Since the adapted clothing has holes, doctors can attach any medical device to the patient’s body without jeopardizing his or her dignity. As a result, it facilitates quicker access to medical devices.
