A wheelchair is a type of mobility aid which helps people with restricted mobility get from one place to another. It is made up of several important parts that work together to give the user utility and comfort. The global wheelchair and components market is a vital sector within the healthcare industry, catering to individuals with mobility limitations. Wheelchairs are crucial mobility aids that provide independence and enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities, injuries, or medical conditions. This market encompasses a wide range of products and components that contribute to the functionality, comfort, and customization of wheelchairs.
The market rivalry is growing with the rising demand for wheelchairs and their components, thereby encouraging innovation, better product options, and competitive pricing. The market for wheelchairs and components plays a vital role in enhancing mobility and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals with limited mobility. It enables their active participation and inclusion in various daily activities. By providing reliable and effective mobility solutions, the wheelchair market contributes to improving accessibility and independence for individuals with mobility challenges, promoting their full engagement in everyday life.
Market Dynamics
The market for wheelchairs and components is projected to grow as spinal cord injuries and associated disabilities become more common. For instance, as per the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center report released in 2023, approximately 18,000 new spinal cord injuries occur each year in the U.S. (54 incidents per 1 million). This does not include those who die from their injury at the scene of the accident. It is estimated that there are 302,000 people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) living in the U.S.
The rising number of people with walking disabilities is also anticipated to stimulate the market growth. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), there are 1.3 billion people globally who are severely disabled. This equates to 1 in every 6 of people, or 16% of the world's population. Some people with disabilities pass away up to 20 years sooner than others who do not have any disability. Wheelchairs serve as essential mobility aids for individuals with disabilities, enabling them to move independently and carry out daily activities. People with disabilities, such as those with mobility impairments resulting from spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions, or musculoskeletal disorders, often rely on wheelchairs as their primary means of transportation.
