Lifestyle diseases, as defined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are diseases caused by unhealthy habits such as excessive consumption of alcohol, smoking, and lack of exercise. These diseases can include strokes, heart attacks, obesity, diabetes, hyper tension, and liver cirrhosis. These diseases are the leading cause for the increasing number of patients in healthcare facilities and for home-based treatment services. During the different phases of these diseases, the patient is unable to move physically to the point of treatment and needs mobility products to avail the services.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is logistical challenges for rural markets. Assistive technology products are highly necessary and used by the patients for clinical and home-based healthcare services. However, the availability of the required products to all the customers is not easy for the suppliers and manufacturers. To supply these products to remote or rural areas, the manufacturers must incur a high logistics cost, warehousing cost, and labor cost. To avoid these extra costs, the manufacturers and suppliers do not supply these products to remote areas and lose a few customers, leading to reduced revenue.
