Key Market Trends
Aging World Population is Driving the Market
The United Nations estimates that by 2030, with a ratio of 1.04 to 1, the elderly population will outnumber children. Economic development in countries like India created many work opportunities for the younger population, which is unable to care for the elderly. Both younger people who work hard and older persons who lack upper body strength find manual wheelchairs exhausting.
According to the World Health Organization, 50 million people are injured every year due to vehicle accidents around the world. Electric wheelchairs aid in the safe and comfortable movement of patients from one area to another. Thus, the increase in accidents is likely to raise the demand for electric wheelchairs over the forecast period.
World Bank reported that around 1 billion individuals, or 15% of the global population, suffer from some impairment, with over 20% of these 1 billion people suffering from major disabilities. Electric wheelchairs are used not just by persons who are disabled due to an injury but also by those who suffer from cardiovascular and respiratory ailments such as asthma and are unable to go longer distances.
