Wheelchair Market size was valued at USD 6,273.1 million in 2022, and it is expanded to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.5% from 2023-2029. Geriatric population growth and an increase in the number of conditions requiring mobility assistance, such as spinal cord injuries, are pushing the market. Over the projection period, developing countries like India are expected to be significant income drivers for wheelchair manufacturers. An important trend projected to fuel future market sales is the evolution of technical breakthroughs in wheelchair designs. The introduction of battery-powered electric wheelchairs is projected to benefit users significantly. The growing incidence of disorders requiring mobility assistance is also driving the market. The increasing integration of automation in healthcare devices, especially mobility devices, such as wheelchairs, is a crucial impacting parameter projected to support market growth. The market is segmented into two types of wheelchairs based on type: manual and powered. In 2021, the powered wheelchair segment had the most market share. The rising popularity of powered wheelchairs, as well as the benefits they provide over manual wheelchairs, will help to propel this market forward. Powered wheelchairs require very little effort to control and operate. The segment's growth is also projected to be aided by an increase in the number of companies launching powered wheelchairs.
