In 2024, the United States continued to rely heavily on imports of canes and crutches, with top exporting countries being China, Taiwan, Czechia, Canada, and Austria. The market concentration, as indicated by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), remained very high, reflecting the dominance of these key players. Despite a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.02% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -3.14%. This data suggests a stable but slightly slowing trend in the import shipments of canes and crutches to the USA.
