The Global Wheelchairs Market Is expected to reaching a market value of USD 6,388 million
Wheelchairs are chairs that have wheels attached to them. It is a transportation solution designed for people who are unable to walk due to certain disabilities. In terms of revenue, the Wheelchairs market is expected to reach US$ 6,388 Mn by 2026, with a CAGR of 5.6 percent from 2015 to 2026.
It is
essentially a mobility device in which a person with a walking disability sits.
Steel, plastic, titanium, and aluminum are the most common materials used.
Steel, together with a folding-frame mechanism, is commonly utilized in
wheelchairs with standard functionality. Aluminum is also used in the wheelchair industry,
particularly in lightweight wheelchairs. Titanium is used in the production of
ultra-lightweight frames. Wheelchairs typically have a polypropylene plastic
footplate with adjustable features to accommodate the user's size and
disability. Aside from
that, there are manual and powered wheelchairs on the market, with manual
wheelchairs designed to be operated by the user. These also have an extra
handle so that another person can push the chair. A powered wheelchair, on the
other hand, is also known as a motorized wheelchair, powerchair, or
electric-powered wheelchair (EPW). As the name implies, these chairs do not
require the user's or another person's effort to move; instead, they are
powered by electricity. Wheelchairs are also available in basic, standard,
bariatric, and sports compatible configurations. A bariatric wheelchair is
intended to support heavyweights, whereas a sports wheelchair is primarily
intended for mechanical propulsion.
The global wheelchairs market was worth USD 2.7
billion in 2020, and it is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 8.0 percent
between 2021 and 2026. The market is being driven by a growing senior
population as well as an increase in the number of disorders requiring mobility
support, such as spinal cord injuries. From 2019 to 2026, the global wheelchair market is expected
to grow at a CAGR of around 5.6 percent, reaching a market value of USD 6,388
million.
The rising number of accidents resulting in permanent or temporary physical disability is one factor driving up market value. Another factor driving up demand for wheelchairs is the world's ever-increasing obese population as a result of drastic changes in daily lifestyle.
Along with
these factors, rising healthcare infrastructure spending in some emerging
economies is expected to support market growth. The powered wheelchair is the
most popular product segment in the global wheelchair market. The market's
availability of advanced and powered options, such as electric and motorized
wheelchairs, is boosting the segment's growth.
The growing
disposable income is also driving up demand for powered wheelchairs. Along with
these, the availability of lightweight electric wheelchairs is increasing
market value. The rising trend of a busy and sophisticated lifestyle, as well
as the ease of use, is also a factor favoring the market demand for a powered
wheelchair.
Over the
forecast period, the North American region will dominate the regional market in
terms of value. The region is gaining momentum primarily as a result of major
manufacturers' increased focus on expansion in developed countries such as The United States.
