Growth Outlook

High — India's paediatric rehabilitation sector is structurally under-supplied relative to rising demand from early-intervention awareness, RPwD Act 2016 school-inclusion mandates, and the expansion of paediatric hospital chains (Rainbow Children's, Cloudnine, Apollo Cradle, Motherhood) into tier-2 cities. MPT-Paediatrics graduates are scarce relative to available posts. International demand from NHS UK community paediatric PT services, NDIS Australia, and Gulf paediatric hospitals further tightens domestic supply. Entry-level salaries remain low, but the mid-to-senior trajectory is strong for credentialed specialists.
