ABF Exclusive Insights
Market Structure: The accessibility and mobility industry reached $18.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to hit $29.8 billion by 2030. Baby boomers are driving demand as “aging in place” becomes the preferred lifestyle. Unlike saturated eldercare segments focused on caregiving, Next Day Access operates in the physical modification space — installing the products that make aging in place possible.
Competitive Advantage: Most competitors are small local operators without national buying power, VA contracts, or marketing infrastructure. Next Day Access franchisees leverage national vendor pricing, branded products, and a corporate marketing team that provides customized social media and microsites for each territory.
ABF Timing Insight: The 20-year baby boomer growth curve is just beginning. Every day, more Americans cross the threshold where accessibility modifications become necessary. Early movers in available territories position themselves as the trusted local provider before the wave peaks.
