Global medical walkers market: Increase in the number of mergers and acquisitions

Growth strategies such as mergers and acquisitions help companies expand their business activities and market reach. Owing to the increase in the demand for advanced mobility and devices such as advanced medical walkers, vendors are focusing on manufacturing more user-friendly media walkers, which require a high initial cost.

“In order to utilize the available technologies properly, vendors are entering into mergers and acquisitions, which will also give them required financial resources, expertise, and distribution networks. For instance, in October 2016, Drive Medical Canada, a subsidiary of Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare acquired the mobility and bathroom safety business of A.M.G Medical. In November 2014, ATI Physical Therapy acquired Spinal & Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Michigan, which helped it improve its services,” says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on orthopedics and medical devices.
