National Standard for Elderly-Friendly Fitness Equipment Implemented in 2026, Silver Market Becomes New Growth Driver

 

Since January 1, 2026, the General Requirements for Elderly-Friendly Fitness Equipment has been officially implemented. The standard sets mandatory indicators such as speed limits, one-key alarms and soft padding design for treadmills, strength equipment and more, driving the industry's transformation from "universal type" to "elderly-friendly". The market size of elderly-adapted equipment is expected to exceed 8 billion yuan this year, with surging procurement demand from commercial venues and elderly care institutions, forcing enterprises to accelerate product iteration and scenario adaptation.
