Global Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) Industry Size, Market Share, Price and Growth Rate Research Report 2026
On Dec 22, Global Info Research released "Global Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032". This report includes an overview of the development of the Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) industry chain, the market status of Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS).
Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) are integrated technology-and-service platforms designed for individuals—particularly seniors, people with chronic conditions, or those at risk of falls or other medical emergencies. They typically consist of wearable or portable transmitters (e.g. wristbands, pendants, watches, buttons), a home base station or hub, and a monitoring center (or cloud + mobile app infrastructure) that responds swiftly when an emergency alert is triggered. These systems often incorporate fall-detection, GPS tracking, two-way voice communication, connectivity via cellular/WiFi, and sometimes health or behavior monitoring and automated alerts. The primary goal is to increase safety and independence for users in their own homes or communities, ensure rapid aid in emergencies, mitigate adverse outcomes, and reduce pressure on institutional healthcare / long-term care systems. In 2024, global Personal Emergency Response Systems production reached approximately 26.64 m units, with an average global market price of around US$ 320 perunit.
The market for Personal Emergency Response Systems is at a pivotal growth juncture, with well articulated opportunities and driving forces. First, demographic aging has become more pronounced globally, with multiple governments citing “aging in place” and “elder-friendly community” as priorities in their annual reports and public policy, forming a robust and long-term demand foundation for PERS. Second, chronic disease burden, incidence of falls, and medical emergencies (stroke, cardiac events) are increasingly flagged in health system reports as major stressors, and PERS is viewed as an effective tool to prevent delays in treatment, reduce utilization of acute care and hospitalization. Third, technological advances are repeatedly highlighted in corporate and market-research disclosures: higher-precision sensors; AI/machine learning for proactive detection/prediction of falls or health deterioration; low-power wireless / 5G / LPWAN communications; improved GPS/localization; better battery and wearable materials—these make devices smaller, smarter, more reliable. Fourth, institutional and insurance system support is strengthening, with some countries incorporating PERS into public health insurance / reimbursement or subsidy programs; governments and health departments through laws or digital health / telehealth regulations accelerating the legitimation and adoption of PERS
The market also faces significant challenges and risks. First is regulatory and compliance burden: as devices are often classified as medical devices or hybrid device/service offerings, many countries demand conformity with medical device regulations (e.g. EU MDR/IVDR, CE marking, FDA rules), strict safety, reliability, data privacy, and communications security requirements. Companies’ annual reports often mention long approval timelines and high costs, which slow down product launch and innovation cycles. Second, trust and service quality issues: users in remote or low-coverage areas may suffer from false alarms, delayed responses, unreliable connectivity—all of which can erode user / caregiver confidence; multiple companies point to customer satisfaction and reliability metrics as key risk areas. Third, cost and reimbursement limitations: while some markets provide reimbursement or subsidies, many do not; upfront device cost plus ongoing service subscription fees can be prohibitive for low income users or public procurement. Fourth, intense competition and threat of substitution: smartphones, smart home systems, wearable health trackers with emergency or fall detection features encroach into territory; unless PERS providers maintain leadership in reliability, battery life, detection accuracy, coverage and integration, they risk being marginalized.
Downstream demand is evolving both structurally and functionally, far beyond the traditional emergency button paradigm. The user base is expanding from seniors / chronically ill to middle-aged concerned about safety, single persons, frequent travelers and outdoor users. Demand for portability and seamless coverage is rising — devices must work at home, outdoors, en route, and under variable connectivity. Secondly, user experience expectations are increasing: comfort of wear, aesthetic design, long battery life, low false alert rates, minimal accidental triggers, fast response time, robustness even in poor network settings. Thirdly, service models are shifting toward hardware-plus-service subscriptions, including 24/7 monitoring centre response, intelligent analytics / early warning, remote maintenance and over-the-air software updates. Also, consumers / caregivers are increasingly sensitive to privacy and data protection; adherence to GDPR and health data legislation becomes critical for brand reputation and market acceptance. Finally, care institutions and social care / assisted living facilities, as well as public health systems, are emerging as major purchasers, demanding not just devices but total solutions—devices + service + data integration + logistics + coordination with emergency medical services.
Upstream, PERS systems’ key components include wearable or portable terminal hardware, communication modules and connectivity components, sensors (for motion/fall detection etc.), positioning modules (GPS / hybrid indoor/outdoor), battery/power and charging systems, backend monitoring center software & data-processing platforms, and service-support infrastructure. Hardware enclosures must be durable, lightweight, water/sweat resistant, impact resistant, often using engineering plastics, composites, or medical-grade light metal alloys; sensors include accelerometers / gyroscopes / barometric / temperature / heart rate / activity detectors with high stability, sensitivity & low power draw. Communication modules may include cellular (2G/3G/4G/5G), LPWAN (e.g. NB-IoT / LoRaWAN), WiFi, Bluetooth fallback—all requiring RF components and certification. Positioning modules often blend GPS with assisted or hybrid systems to cover both indoor and outdoor scenarios. Power systems (lithium-ion or emerging solid-state batteries), charging circuits, and power management ICs must balance energy density, weight/size, safety. Software and backend platforms demand data security, real-time communications, error diagnostics, over-the-air updates, high availability. Monitoring center / service infrastructure involves call center hardware/software, network infrastructure, response personnel. Upstream supply chain faces volatility in component/material costs (batteries, rare earth for GPS modules, RF chips, etc.), standards and certification costs, vendor reliability, and growing pressure around sustainability (environmental impact, e-waste management, energy efficiency, battery recycling).The gross profit margin of this product is around 45%.
This report is a detailed and comprehensive analysis for global Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) market. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses are presented by manufacturers, by region & country, by Type and by Application.
