Market Overview:
The global wheelchair drive units market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of disabilities, rising awareness about disability-friendly products and technologies, and growing demand for electric wheelchairs. In addition, the increasing number of geriatric population is also propelling the growth of this market. However, high cost associated with electric wheelchairs may restrain the growth of this market to some extent during the forecast period. Based on type, the global wheelchair drive units market can be segmented into electric wheelchair drive units, mechanical wheelchair drive units and hybrid wheelchair drive units. Electric wheelchairs are expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period owing to their advantages such as easy maneuverability and low maintenance cost as compared to other types of wheelchairs.
Product Definition:
Wheelchair drive units are devices that allow people who use wheelchairs to propel themselves forward. Wheelchair drive units can be powered by batteries or electric motors, and they typically include a gear system that allows the wheelchair user to control the speed and direction of movement. Wheelchair drive units are important for allowing people with mobility disabilities to participate in activities and travel independently.
Electric:
Electric wheelchairs are powered by rechargeable batteries that provide enough energy for the chair to move a short distance. The most common types of electric wheelchairs used in residential applications are battery-powered and plug-in hybrid electric chairs.
The market is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to rising awareness about these vehicles, increasing acceptance of disabled people, growing geriatric population base and improving healthcare infrastructure across the globe.
Mechanical:
Mechanical is the force that creates motion in machines or vehicles. It can be defined as the applied force which causes movement and energy to move an object or a system from one place to another. In other words, it is any technology that makes use of forces for moving objects from one position to another without using human power.
It includes wheelchairs, manually operated vehicles (such as cars & trucks), powered vehicles (such as bicycles & skateboards), cranes, conveyor belts, etc.
Application Insights:
The commercial application segment dominated the global wheelchair drive units market in 2017. The segment is expected to witness significant growth owing to rising demand for wheelchairs at airports, railway stations, shopping malls and other public places. In addition, growing awareness about the availability of electric wheelchairs is expected to boost demand over the forecast period.
Household application was estimated as the largest segment in 2017 and accounted for a share of more than 50% in 2018. This high share is attributable to increasing adoption of electric wheelchairs due to improved maneuverability and comfort coupled with low maintenance cost as compared with traditional chairs.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global wheelchair drive units market in 2017. This can be attributed to the presence of a large number of manufacturers and suppliers, high adoption rate of advanced wheelchairs, and favorable government initiatives. For instance, in 2014-2015, Medicare reimbursement for power wheelchairs was increased from 50% to 75%. Moreover rising prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase demand for these chairs over the forecast period. According to American Diabetes Association around 29 million people have diabetes in U.S., with an estimated 7 million new cases every year which will further boost product demand over the next eight years.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to increasing geriatric population coupled with growing awareness about rehabilitation services provided by hospitals & clinics as well as non-profit organizations such as Jain Irrigaible Foundation (JIF).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from geriatric population: The global geriatric population is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period, which is expected to drive the market for wheelchair drive units.
- Rising prevalence of chronic diseases: The prevalence of chronic diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy is increasing globally, which is anticipated to boost the demand for wheelchair drive units in the coming years.
- Technological advancements: The introduction of technologically advanced products such as power wheelchairs with joystick control systems are projected to fuel the growth of this market in the near future.
- Growing awareness about disability aids: There has been a rise in awareness about disability aids among people across different geographies in recent years, which is likely to create opportunities for growth in this market over the next few years.
