Market Overview:
The global wheelchairs and mobility scooters market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of disabilities, growing geriatric population, and rising demand for technologically advanced wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Based on type, the global wheelchair and mobility scooter market is segmented into manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs, and mobility scooters. The powered wheelchair segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than other segments during the forecast period owing to its technological advancements such as voice-activated controls, obstacle avoidance systems, etc., which are making these devices more user-friendly. Based on application, the global wheelchair and mobility scooter market is segmented into hospitals, home care settings (including nursing homes), and other end users (such as schools/colleges). Hospitals are expected to account for a larger share of this market in 2018 due to increasing number of surgeries being performed in hospitals globally. However, home care settings are projected to witness highest growth rate during the forecast period due its growing popularity among elderly population living independently or with their families.
Product Definition:
Wheelchairs and Mobility Scooters are devices that allow people with limited mobility to get around. Wheelchairs are propelled manually, while mobility scooters are electric-powered. Both devices can be used indoors or outdoors. Wheelchairs and mobility scooters provide important independence and freedom for people with limited mobility.
Manual Wheelchairs:
Manual wheelchairs are primarily designed for people who cannot use powered wheelchairs or those who prefer manual control over the drive system. These wheelchairs can be operated by a single individual and are generally used as a last option due to the high cost of manual wheelchair and its limited features as compared to powered ones.
Powered Wheelchairs:
Powered wheelchairs are motorized wheelchairs that are designed to provide independent mobility. They have a rechargeable battery, which provides enough power for the chair to move on the road. The powered wheelchair has an in-built mechanism that enables forward and backward movement with the help of wheels or tracks attached to its rear end. It is available in different sizes and weights according to the user requirements. Some of them include heavy weight up to 250 kgs.
Application Insights:
The other end users segment includes rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities and others. Other end users accounted for the largest share in 2016 owing to a rise in the adoption of wheelchairs among other age groups. The home care settings segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to an increase in demand for mobility scooters from this sector.
The hospitals segment is expected to be one of the fastest growing segments over the forecast period owing to a large number of government initiatives that are aimed at improving accessibility for patients and their families at hospitals. For instance, according these guidelines will help ensure that no patient has ever been discharged from hospital without being able wheelchair access or assistance scooter access if they need it (Hospitals).
In addition, many manufacturers have introduced new products specifically designed with safety features such as LED headlights.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The presence of a large number of manufacturers and suppliers, high healthcare expenditure, favorable government initiatives for disabled people coupled with high awareness levels are some factors attributing to its largest share. However, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from developing countries such as China and India. Moreover, supportive government policies aimed at improving access for disabled people in these countries will drive product demand further. For instance, according to an article published by India International Foundation for Disability (IIF), every year around 3 million patients need power wheelchairs but do not have access to them because they are expensive or complicated; therefore this organization provides them free of cost through a network across 16 states in India called Wheelchair Projector Scheme (WPS). In addition it is also reported that IIF has provided training on how power wheelchairs can be used which reduces their cost by 30%.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing geriatric population: The global elderly population is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2016 to 2020, owing to the increase in life expectancy and the decline in fertility rates. This will result in an increase in demand for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, as these devices provide independence and improve quality of life for seniors.
- Rising incidence of chronic diseases: The prevalence of chronic diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy is increasing globally, which is leading to an increase in demand for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. These devices help patients with chronic illnesses maintain their independence and improve their quality of life.
- Technological advancements: Wheelchair manufacturers are constantly innovating new technologies that make wheelchair use easier and more comfortable for users. For example, some wheelchairs now come with built-in shock absorbers that reduce vibrations caused by uneven surfaces, making them ideal for outdoor use . Such technological advancements are likely to spur growth in the wheelchair market over the next few years .
