The Walk-in Bath Market

Text Size +

The market for walk-in baths has never been more dynamic or demanding. Individuals want a bathroom that will express their individuality, deliver top quality function and provide safety and comfort features that will enable them to bath in peace. Our walk-in baths and slide-in baths are conveniently designed to replace an existing bath or shower. It’s a simple, clean and quick process that can be done at a fraction of the cost of conventional bathroom remodeling. Seabridge Bathing offers a fast, clean and affordable alternative allowing a comfortable, convenient and safe bathing environment. The results are genuinely remarkable!

Until recently options were limited. Investment in bathing equipment such as mats, chairs or grab bars can aid some difficulties with bathing but does not eliminate them. The two major obstacles of bathers are getting in and out of the bath and getting down and up from the bath. Our walk in and slide in baths provide real solutions that provide greater safety and accessibility to elderly, disabled or handicapped individuals.

Every year North Americans take more than 70 billion baths or showers. Many of these individuals are looking for a quick and affordable way of replacing existing baths and showers that are no longer safe or useable. Safe and accessible bathing is not solely a concern of the elderly, disabled and those caring for them but is of utmost importance to all people irrespective of their age, sex or cultural background.

The National Organization on Disability recently reported that one out of five Americans lives with a disability. Many of these individuals are looking for a safe, comfortable and convenient way to bathe or shower.

By 2010, fully one third of the population will be age 50 or older. This is up from one-quarter in 1991. This massive demographic shift presents abundant opportunities for alert businesses that can successfully meet the needs, tastes, and concerns of this affluent and influential market.

In 2001, there were an estimated 3.92 million Canadians and 35 million Americans over the age of 65. This is a 66% increase from 1981 numbers. Today, seniors represent one out of every eight, a figure that is estimated to rise to one in five by the year 2026. North America is about to see a demographic shift unlike any in previous history. It is estimated that one in four seniors will face restrictions in their activities due to long-term health problems. There will be more people needing assistive devices, over a longer period of time, for at least the next 30 years.

Today people over the age of 50 control 70% of the wealth in the US and Canada. As the boomers age, it will skew an already lopsided distribution of wealth in North America. This is a growth industry and the market is primed for alert business people to address this growth. In Canada and the United States Seabridge Bathing will be there providing safe and enjoyable bathing solutions.
