Summary

Overview
Global powered wheelchair market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
The wheelchair is an incredibly important assistive device that enhances mobility and quality of life for people who have difficulty walking due to conditions such as spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, and more. Electric wheelchairs, also known as motorized wheelchairs or powerchairs, use electric motors and batteries to power their wheels and provide added mobility.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Product Launches
The market for powered wheelchairs is expected to experience significant growth due to the introduction of new products. For example, Golden Technologies launched the GP301 Stride aluminum folding power wheelchair and the GP302 Cricket carbon fiber folding power wheelchair in March 2023. These lightweight foldable power wheelchairs offer greater convenience and flexibility. Similarly, Vital Mobility Medical Supplies launched the Robooter X40 Automatic Folding Wheelchair and the Robooter E40 Light-Weight Folding Wheelchair in July 2023. Reyhee also introduced two new electric vehicles in February 2023: the Cruiser, a classic scooter with a lightweight frame and removable battery pack, and the Roamer, a wheelchair with similar features.
These product launches are driven by increasing investments, advances in technology, and raising awareness of mobility problems. As a outcome, the global market for electric wheelchairs is expected to persist to expand in the coming years.
High Cost
The high cost of the powered wheelchair is estimated to hamper the global market growth during the forecast period. For instance, the average cost of a powered wheelchair is between US $1,300 to US $3,000 leaving the majority of individuals unable to afford it. Furthermore, the difficulty in reimbursement and high maintenance costs are among other factors hampering the global market growth during the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The global powered wheelchair market is segmented based on product, technology, user age group, end user and region.
Rear Wheel Drive Segment is Expected to Dominate Market
The rear wheel drive segment is expected to dominate the global market for electric wheelchairs during the forecast period, due to the launch of several new products. For example, Ottobock launched the Wingus in March 2021, which is a comfortable and reliable sit-and-drive power wheelchair with a lightweight cantilever frame construction. Designed as an entry-level model, the Wingus offers many adjustment possibilities and is easy to use. Similarly, Invacare Corporation introduced a new, narrower version of the Invacare AVIVA STORM RX rear wheel drive power wheelchair in January 2022. The narrow base model offers several new features compared to the standard version of the AVIVA STORM RX, a next generation chair launched in August 2021. These new product launches exhibit the growing need for rear wheel drive electric wheelchairs, which deliver more outstanding stability and command on irregular surfaces. As a consequence, this segment is expected to persist to dominate the global market in the coming years.
Geographical Analysis
North America is Expected to Dominate the Global Market
North America is expected to dominate the global electric wheelchair market during the forecast period due to favorable reimbursement policies and increased market development by key market players in the region. For example, in February 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed a National Coverage Determination (NCD) decision that would enable people with Medicare to receive coverage for the power seat elevation equipment on power electric wheelchairs.
This move is expected to drive demand for the electric wheelchair market in the U.S. Additionally, in February 2022, Invacare Corporation, a US-based multinational leader, introduced its next-generation e-fix eco Power Assist Device, which converts manual wheelchairs into electric wheelchairs. Similarly, in April 2022, Permobil Inc., the United States subsidiary of Permobil AB, invested USD 15.5 million to expand production at its Lebanon, Tennessee manufacturing plant in the United States.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic had adverse effects on the global powered wheelchair market, especially owing to the troubles encountered by individuals with disabilities because of COVID-19. According to a report published by ScienceDirect in November 2020, multiple barriers stopped individuals with disabilities from utilizing transportation to access fundamental needs like fresh food and medical care, which are necessary for their well-being. The pandemic and its reaction pose a threat of worsening existing health unfairness and raising the mobility limitations that disproportionately impact individuals with disabilities.
