Global Hip Protectors Market Definition

Hip protectors refer to the specially designed undergarment embedded with protective pads on both sides. These types of protectors are plastic shields (hard) or foam pads (soft), usually fitted in pockets in specially designed underwear. They are worn to cushion a sideways fall on the hip. Hip protectors have applications to prevent hip fractures in compliant subjects at significant risk for falling. They are becoming more common in use in the management of the elderly at risk of fracturing their hip following a fall onto a hard surface. Some protective pads are permanently sewn inside the undergarment and some are placed in small pockets with flaps on the lateral aspects of the undergarment. Pads act as barriers between the hip and ground during falls and protect the greater trochanter from the direct transmission of impact force. These protective pads can be categorized into three types such as soft pad, hard pad and a combination of a soft and hard pad. Basically, the soft pads are made of viscoelastic open-cell foams, three-dimensional spacer fabric, rubber, or silicon. When force is applied, soft pad pads compress and deform, and in doing so absorb energy. This is called an energy absorption mechanism. Because soft pads are flexible, these are considered to fit the contour of the hip region better than the hard pad. Whereas, hard pads are usually made of rigid or stiff material.

Global Hip Protectors Market Overview

The increasing number of hip fractures is expected to fuel the growth of the hip protector market. In addition, the age-specific incidence rates of hip fractures have also increased during the recent decades and in several countries, this rise has not leveled off. The rising incidence of hip fractures varies considerably from population to population and race to race but rises exponentially with age in every group. Moreover, most hip fractures are related to the fall, although other risk factors include decreased bone mineral density, reduced level of activity, and chronic medication use. For instance, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 95% of hip fractures are caused by a fall.

A lack of awareness of the syndrome, risk factors, and consequences of falls for older persons call for intervention, as they impact not only an individual and her or his family but also society through associated direct and indirect costs. Thus, the implementation of fall prevention programs in developing regions will be challenging in terms of costs, other priorities, and a lack of awareness of the complexity of falls. Hence, this might restrict the market growth. Furthermore, the lack of awareness regarding this product further limits market growth. Moreover, increasing technological developments in hip protectors can create significant opportunities in the growth of the hip protectors market. The technological development of external hip protectors with monitoring and automatic fall notification can create the opportunity for market growth.
