The dry-battery electric wheelchair segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than the wet-battery electric wheelchair segment during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. This can be attributed to factors such as lower cost and easy availability of dry batteries as compared with wet batteries. Based on application, the global Electric Wheelchair Market is divided into two segments: hospital and homecare settings. The hospital setting segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than homecare settings during the forecast period from 2018to 2030 owingto increase in number of surgeries being performed in hospitals across different geographiesand rising demand for technologically advanced productsin this setting .
Product Definition:
An electric wheelchair, often referred to as a powerchair, is a type of chair that is propelled by electric motors. Electric wheelchairs come in a variety of forms, including standard wheelchairs, scooters and joggers.
Electric wheelchairs are important for people with mobility issues who cannot propel a manual wheelchair on their own. They provide users with the ability to travel independently and to participate in activities they may not have been able to do before.
Dry-Battery Electric Wheelchairs:
Dry-Battery electric wheelchairs are the most common type of battery powered wheelchair. It is also known as scooter or skateboard. The wheels are made of plastic and rubber and they can go up to 15 km/h (9 mph). These wheelchairs have a rechargeable battery that provides enough power for an average distance of 10 to 12 miles (16 - 19 km).
Wet-Battery Electric Wheelchairs:
Wet-battery electric wheelchairs are powered by a hybrid system that includes rechargeable batteries and sources of energy other than the wheelchair itself. The most common forms of these sources are solar power and hand-cranks. These wheelchairs have been around for many years, but only recently has their usage increased due to improved designs that make them more efficient at providing mobility assistance.
Application Insights:
The home application segment dominated the global electric wheelchair market in 2017. The growing need for mobility assistance at home has led to an increase in the adoption of electric wheelchairs at homes. Furthermore, rising awareness about the availability of advanced products with features such as smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.
The hospital application segment accounted for a significant share in 2017 owing to increasing government initiatives and support for medical tourism along with developing healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries including China, India, Thailand and Brazil among others. For instance, Ministry of Health Malaysia launched ¢â‚¬Å“Malaysia Medical Tourism¢â‚¬ initiative which promotes Malaysia as a preferred destination for medical treatment by providing various benefits including income tax rebates up to 20% on foreign patients who incurred expenses above USD 8500 annually during their stay between 2015 - 2019.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to favorable government initiatives and increasing demand for mobility scooters. The region is expected to witness a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. Europe accounted for more than 25% of the overall revenue share in 2017, which can be attributed to high acceptance of advanced wheelchairs and growing geriatric population. Moreover, presence of major companies such as Intuitive Corporation; Medline Industries; Pride Mobility Products Inc.; E-Wheels KGaA mbH; wheelchair Aids KG; Storz & Bickel GmbH & Co.; Swisstrikes S.p.A.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to register significant growth rate due its developing economies such as China, India, Japan, Singapore etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing geriatric population: The global elderly population is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2016 to 2020, reaching 968 million by 2020. This will create a large pool of potential electric wheelchair users, thereby driving the market growth.
- Rising awareness about electric wheelchairs: There is an increasing awareness among people about the benefits of using electric wheelchairs, which is propelling the market growth.
- Technological advancements in electric wheelchairs: The technological advancements in electric wheelchairs are resulting in their becoming more user-friendly and affordable, thereby boosting their demand across the world.
- Government initiatives for disability inclusion: Governments around the world are taking initiatives for disability inclusion through schemes such as providing subsidies and tax benefits for purchasing electric wheelchairs, which is aiding market growth significantly.
