An assistive device whose primary function is to warn when a fall event has taken place is referred to as a fall detection system. One of the important features used in the majority of smart walkers to address gait and balance problems is a fall detection system. To forecast, identify, and prevent instances of falling, a variety of procedures are used to monitor gait metrics using sensory systems.
Global fall detection systems market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5,849.3 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.4 % during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Global Fall Detection Systems Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
COVID-19 had a negative impact on the fall detection system market owing to the supply chain disruptions and COVID-19 restrictions imposed by government. The epidemic that hindered market expansion significantly affected the industrial industry. The global lockdown's adoption had an effect on manufacturing industries' production plans. During the lockdown, sales decreased, which had an impact on the sales ratio and the number of deliveries. The market will, however, start to expand again after the epidemic because the earlier limits have been loosened.
Global Fall Detection Systems Market: Key Developments
Key players in the market are focused on adopting merger and acquisition (M&A) strategies to expand their product portfolio. For instance, in November 2019, ADT Security Services acquired Marietta, a commercial security integration company. The acquisition is expected to strengthen range of services the commercial division of ADT Security Services can offer customers in Atlanta.
Key players in the market are also focused on adopting collaboration strategies to expand their product portfolio. For instance, Philips, which is a technology company collaborated with Humana Inc., which is U.S. health insurance company, to help improve healthcare outcomes for selected high-risk Medicare Advantage members. Humana Inc. implemented two programs that use medical alert services and remote member monitoring (RMM) solutions of Philips to actively monitor at-risk Medicare Advantage members.
Global Fall Detection Systems Market: Restraint
High cost of fall detection systems is expected to hinder growth of the global fall detection systems market. High subscription costs may inhibits adoption of these devices in emerging economies. Moreover, fall detectors offered by various market players are not entirely accurate. Automatic fall detection systems do not detect sliding falls. These drawbacks are also expected to hinder growth of the market.
Key Players
Major players operating in the global fall detection systems market include Koninklijke Philips N.V., LifeWatch USA, Tunstall, Apple Inc., ADT Security Services, Medical Guardian LLC, MobileHelp, Bay Alarm Company, MariCare Oy, Origin Wireless, The ADT Corporation, Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited, Semtech Corporation.
A fall detection system is a device that is used to alert emergency services in the event of a fall. Such devices have the potential to mitigate some of the adverse consequences of a fall. Accelerometers, a class of low power radio wave technology sensor, are used by fall detection systems to track the user's movements. Modern fall detection systems use three-axis accelerometers, similar to those used in smartphones and smartwatches. Some fall detection systems employ a built-in tri-axial accelerometer and proprietary BioSensics algorithms.
By spotting sudden changes in bodily movement, fall warning detectors can determine when a user has unexpectedly fallen. The system can assess a person's posture, activity level, and how smoothly their movements accelerate. The majority of typical fall-related movements are reliably picked up by automatic fall detection equipment. The device's fall detection algorithm is tuned for operation when it's hanging around your neck. However, some slower movements, such as slipping off the bed or sofa and onto the floor, cannot be reliably recognized and can necessitate you pressing the call button. One of the important features used in the majority of smart walkers to address gait and balance problems is a fall detection system. To forecast, identify, and prevent instances of falling, a variety of procedures are used to monitor gait metrics using sensory systems.
Market Dynamics
Increasing geriatric population is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the worldwide geriatric population is expected to reach 2 billion by 2050, up from 900 million in 2015.
