Bariatric Transport Wheelchairs Market Analysis

The Bariatric Transport Wheelchairs Market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the bariatric transport wheelchairs market initially. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the studied market experienced a slight decline in growth, driven by the disruption in the supply-demand of bariatric transport wheelchairs and the cancellation or postponement of the therapy of overweight or obese patients. For instance, a research study published in the UK Research and Innovation in November 2021 stated that wheelchair users were confined to their homes only. It further stated that over 30% of wheelchair users relied on their powered wheelchairs to move around, even within the home.

During the pandemic, the situation became significantly adverse as supply was limited through manufacturing closures and social distancing practices. However, in the post-pandemic period, the lifting of the lockdown and the decrease in the number of COVID-19 patients led to the resumption of all trade and medical practices that were canceled or restricted amid the pandemic. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak adversely impacted the market's growth in its preliminary phase. Moreover, the market is expected to grow further with the increasing demand for bariatric transport wheelchairs globally.

Further, the factors that are driving the market growth include the rising prevalence of obesity, technological advantages and advancements, and increasing healthcare expenditure with the rise in disposable income. For instance, as per the data published by the Global Obesity Observatory in 2021, over 28.1% of adults aged 18 to 64 years were estimated to be overweight in New Caledonia in 2021. The same source stated that over 36.4% of adults aged 16 years and above were estimated to be overweight in Scotland in 2021.

Also, advanced technology provided by the upcoming bariatric wheelchair is able to provide comfort and various advantages to the users. The incoming advanced features of the bariatric chair are expected to boost the growth of the market further. For instance, in May 2021, Quantum Rehab launched its single-power heavy-duty power base wheelchair, J4. The wheelchair has a capacity of 400lb weight and is equipped with a Q4 HD power tilt function. The power chair has a Q4 HD power tilt system that offers 55 degrees of power tilt and is also compatible with Quantum's power articulating foot platform. Such launches augment the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors of the rising burden of obesity and the technologically advanced features of the wheelchair, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, the associated cost constraints and the low acceptance rate with a lack of skilled staff or caregivers are likely to impede market growth.
