Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for electric wheelchair in 2023 is US$ 3.5 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 8.01 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 10.90%.

Any seating surface with wheels attached that is propelled by an electrically based power source, usually motors and batteries, is known as an electric wheelchair, also known as an electric-powered wheelchair, motorized wheelchair, or powerchair. Some individuals who lack the skill or mobility to operate a mobility scooter owing to arm, hand, shoulder, or other general debilitating issues can utilize an electric wheelchair since they lack the leg strength to push a manual chair with their feet. The tilt, recline, leg elevation, seat elevation, and other powered actions that are beneficial to health and function can be provided by EPWs. They may also be used by individuals with heart and fatigue conditions, in addition to those with "traditional" mobility impairments.

Electric wheelchairs are becoming more popular due to their benefits, ease of use, greater convenience, and seamless usage. They are often utilized by individuals who cannot use manual wheelchairs or who want to use wheelchairs for longer trips that are challenging in manual wheelchairs. Although the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted many industries, the market for electric wheelchairs benefited. Due to their severe physical weakness and incapacity to walk, the COVID-19 patients' desire for medical mobility aid equipment significantly increased, sparking the sales of electric wheelchairs.

Recent developments by key players in Electric Wheelchair Market:

In Feb 2022- Invacare Corporation introduced its next-generation e-fix eco Power Assist Device, which converts manual wheelchairs into electric wheelchairs.

In Jan 2022- A new electric wheelchair called the Scewo BRO was introduced by Swiss firm Scewo to help individuals with mobility problems upstairs.

It is anticipated that the use of electric wheelchairs in hospitals and healthcare facilities to improve the welfare of patients and healthcare workers will continue to be a key driving force in the market over the forecast period. This is due to the rise in disabilities caused by an aging population and the prevalence of chronic diseases. Additionally, electric wheelchairs are used in home healthcare settings to transfer patients from one location to another securely and comfortably. As a result of a significant spike in the geriatric population, it is anticipated that the need for electric wheelchairs in hospitals and nursing homes will rise. Furthermore, increases in noncommunicable diseases and longer life expectancies contribute to a rise in the prevalence of disability. According to research published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in December 2022, about 1.3 billion people (roughly 16% of the population) have significant disabilities. In addition, impairment can be caused by various factors, such as trauma, accidents, injuries, inherited illnesses, and assaults. The growing burden of these diseases has led to an increase in the demand for wheelchairs. An increase in trauma and accident incidents is also expected to positively affect the market for electric wheelchairs. Nonetheless, companies in this industry are constantly coming up with new ideas and improving existing products to satisfy the market's expanding demand which will further boost the market growth. Moreover, the demand for electric wheelchairs has substantially expanded due to the usage of artificial intelligence throughout the system. This fills a need in the healthcare sector as patients' mobility inside hospitals is now overseen by specialized medical staff. Through the use of facial expressions, artificial intelligence has made it possible for people with disabilities to operate these wheelchairs. Although electric wheelchairs are highly sophisticated medical devices that assist elderly or disabled patients with mobility, the user frequently encounters a variety of inconsistent technical glitches, faults, and other issues. Additionally, high initial costs, high maintenance costs, and the bulky weight of electric wheelchairs are barriers to market growth.

Additionally, due to the hubs for aluminium production and the presence of major players, China produces about 75% of the world's electric wheelchairs. With over 1.40 billion people, India has the second largest population globally. About 30% of the population has a mobility impairment and requires assistance, and about 2% of people overall have a disability. India leads all other nations in the number of traffic accidents. The National Crime Records Bureau reports that 422,659 accidents happened in India in 2021, resulting in 155,000 fatalities and 371,000 injuries. Injuries caused by vehicle accidents are therefore projected to increase, which would likely fuel the expansion of the electric wheelchair industry in the region.
