Growing global geriatric population is one of the primary growth stimulators of the market. Rising aging population is leading to increase in cases of lifestyle diseases such as arthritis, heart diseases, diabetes, and asthma. Despite improved life expectancy rates, drugs, and therapies due to advancements in medical science, the consequences of aging can be extreme for the physique. Elderly people are highly susceptible to chronic diseases, which can lead to mobility impairment. Rising incidence of obesity and spinal cord injuries can also provide a fillip to the market.
Mounting cases of medical emergencies are expected to stoke the growth of the wheelchair market over the forecast period. Outdoor and industrial accidents, natural disasters, and fire breakouts are among the leading factors causing medical emergencies. Their increasing number is impelling healthcare facilities to expand their stock of mobility products, operation theaters, and workforce in order to serve patients better.
Surging demand for electric wheelchairs is poised to shape the future of the market. This type of wheelchair is adjustable and durable, thereby offering ease of mobility and convenience. In addition, spiraling demand for advanced mobility products from the sports industry for organizing sports events such as wheelchair basketball and wheelchair racing for disabled persons can augment the market.
Innovations and advancements in wheelchairs are anticipated to trigger the growth of the market in coming years. For instance, in Jan 2018, Whill announced the launch of a new, lightweight, and stylish Model Ci electric wheelchair. The wheelchair operates on a lithium-ion battery, which allows it to travel 10 miles, with the help of a joystick-enabled navigation in the right armrest, on a single charge.
