China Ranks as Second-Largest Exhibitor Nation with 67 Companies
According to official exhibitor data, China ranks as the second-largest exhibitor nation at REHACARE 2026 with 67 companies, trailing only host country Germany (155) and surpassing Taiwan (28) and the Netherlands (21). This underscores the accelerating push by Chinese rehabilitation aid and aging-in-place manufacturers into the European market.
Confirmed Chinese exhibitors span the full rehabilitation product spectrum. Hebei Pukang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. will showcase lightweight folding electric wheelchairs and multifunctional home care beds at Booth 6L75. Foshan Kaiyang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. will present its wheelchair, walker, and rehabilitation aid product lines — the company is recognized as one of the leading Chinese exhibitors confirmed for REHACARE. Ningbo Beichen Medical will display its latest-generation mobility scooters and smart mobility solutions at Booth 4B46.
Notably, Xiamen-based Xiamen Senyang Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. also appears on the exhibitor list, reflecting the growing international presence of Xiamen’s rehabilitation aid industry.
Chinese Manufacturers Shift from OEM to Brand Building in Europe
Publicly available exhibitor information reveals a strategic shift among Chinese manufacturers. Foshan Kaiyang, for example, has expanded from contract manufacturing into own-brand development, with sales and R&D teams on-site for one-on-one business meetings and product demonstrations. Beichen Medical positions its participation as part of its “2026 Global Showcase,” highlighting long-range, highly portable mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs designed for urban and outdoor use.
A common thread runs through these companies: they are no longer content with a “low-cost contract manufacturer” image. Instead, they emphasize product design capability, delivery efficiency, and channel service to build brand recognition among European distributors and care facility procurement decision-makers.
Highlight 1: Mobility Scooters & Mobility Aids — Smart and Scenario-Driven
Mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, walkers, and stair lifts remain among the most closely watched categories at REHACARE. Two clear trends emerge this year: smart features, such as sensor-equipped walkers with autonomous navigation, and scenario-specific design tailored to urban commuting, outdoor activities, and home living.
Silicon Valley-based CTI One Corporation is demonstrating its Robo-Rollator W102 RB smart walker with a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm and AI assistant at Hall 4, Booth 4B04. Beyond conventional walking support, the device can autonomously navigate to a kitchen counter and complete tasks like “fetching a cup of coffee” under user control. Meanwhile, Xcanbot is showcasing its Mate X mobile robot at Hall 1, Booth 1A57-3, equipped with LiDAR, ToF, and camera sensors for destination-based autonomous navigation — positioning itself as a “consumer tech product” rather than a traditional medical device, signaling a new trend of mobility aids penetrating the mass consumer market.
Across the broader mobility category, lightweight folding wheelchairs, smart electric mobility scooters, multifunctional walkers, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and stair lifts are on display. Product ranges also include wheelchair cushions, backrests, and accessories, as well as off-road wheelchairs and standing wheelchairs, meeting diverse needs from daily commuting to outdoor activities.
Highlight 2: Bathroom Safety & Aging-in-Place — A High-Demand Track
As the “aging in place” concept takes deeper root in Europe, bathroom safety has become one of the fastest-growing segments at this year’s show. Product ranges explicitly cover bathroom safety grab bars, shower chairs, toilet aids, non-slip mats, complete accessible bathroom solutions, and home aging-in-place modification products.
Korean exhibitors report that around 10 Korean companies are exhibiting jointly this year, focusing on safe bathroom fixtures, pressure sore prevention products, and smart toileting management solutions targeting the global silver economy. This trend reflects the growing competitiveness of Asian manufacturers in bathroom safety and care consumables.
In the aging-in-place modification space, the show reveals a shift from standalone products to systematic solutions. Adjustable cabinets, smart home control systems, accessible doors and windows, ramps, and emergency call devices together form a complete picture of home accessibility. The organizer has designated “Barrier Free Living” as one of the core themes of Hall 1, underscoring its strategic priority.
Highlight 3: Care Products & Smart Nursing — Technology Reshaping Care Quality
Care products and smart nursing solutions form another major dimension of the show. Product ranges include nursing beds, anti-bedsore products, incontinence care products, patient lifts, augmentative communication devices, and smart home monitoring systems.
Digital and AI technologies are deeply penetrating care scenarios. The organizer notes that digital care assistance systems, telemedicine applications, and smart nursing beds will be showcased prominently, aiming not only to improve efficiency but to “bring patients a more dignified and higher quality of life.” Wearable health devices, remote monitoring systems, and digital chronic disease management solutions also fall under the care category, reflecting the “prevention–monitoring–care” integration trend.
Several themed forums are worth noting. The “Future of Care” forum on September 25, held in partnership with Techniker Krankenkasse, will discuss resilient care system strategies and policy issues. The “Aids Supply” forum on September 24 will focus on legal frameworks and approval processes. These sessions offer valuable reference for care product companies seeking to enter the European market.
