The Future Health Survey released by McKinsey may have the following impacts on trading companies that mainly produce wheelchairs and other medical rehabilitation equipment:
Market demand growth: The survey shows that consumers are paying more and more attention to health, especially the younger generations such as Generation Z and Millennials. This means that the demand for medical rehabilitation equipment, including wheelchairs, may grow in the future. As people pay more attention to health, they may be more willing to invest in medical equipment that can improve the quality of life.
Product innovation demand: Healthy aging is one of the core trends, which indicates that the demand for medical rehabilitation equipment among the elderly population will increase. Trading companies may need to consider product innovation, such as developing wheelchairs and related auxiliary equipment that are more suitable for the elderly, safer and more convenient.
Market positioning adjustment: As consumers pay more attention to health, trading companies may need to adjust their market positioning and pay more attention to the younger consumer group. This may involve adjustments to marketing strategies, such as promotion through social media and online platforms, as well as younger product design.
Expansion of service scope: Although the trends mentioned in the survey, such as weight management and gastrointestinal health, are not directly related to wheelchairs, trading companies can consider expanding their product lines and providing rehabilitation equipment related to these health areas to meet a wider range of market needs.
International market opportunities: The survey covered multiple countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, indicating that the demand for health products is growing worldwide. Trading companies can explore opportunities in the international market and expand their export business, especially targeting these key countries and regions.
Importance of education and training: As consumers become more aware of health products, they may pay more attention to the performance and correct use of products. Therefore, trading companies may need to strengthen product use education and professional training services to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
In summary, this McKinsey survey report is a positive signal for wheelchair and medical rehabilitation equipment trading companies, indicating that the market has growth potential, and it also reminds companies that they need to continue to innovate and adjust strategies to adapt to market changes.
