Region: Global | Format: Word, PPT, Excel | Report Status: Ongoing

According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global smart wheelchairs market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2030. Smart wheelchairs are power chairs that include a control system. Such products can effectively assist users in eliminating the need to push a chair to make it move manually. Smart wheelchairs are incredibly creative and long-lasting, likely to entice users to purchase such products. Incorporating technologically advanced features in the design of mobility assistive wheelchairs, such as voice and face recognition, IoT, and others have shaped the overall wheelchair industry.

However, the higher repair and maintenance costs of smart wheelchairs are expected to limit their popularity among the lower-income population. Further, the higher weight and size of smart wheelchairs compared to manual chairs is expected to limit the market’s growth.

Consumers have become more aware that adopting creative mobility aids such as wheelchairs, scooters, and others is responsible for driving the market. Furthermore, a growing global elderly population is expected to drive demand for such mobility assistive devices. Besides that, increasing consumer expenses on healthcare-related products and services have eased the consumption rate of such products.

Global Smart Wheelchairs Market Dynamics

Drivers: People's Growing Awareness of the Availability of Innovative Wheelchairs

Consumers have become more aware of adopting creative mobility aids such as wheelchairs, scooters, and others anticipated to drive the market. It can be challenging to use a wheelchair safely and independently when there are several overlapping physical, cognitive, or perceptual symptoms of conditions such as cerebrovascular accident, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. People with various symptom combinations may benefit from these smart wheelchairs, thereby driving the market’s growth.

Restraints: The Higher Repair and Maintenance Costs of Smart Wheelchairs

The higher repair and maintenance costs of smart wheelchairs are expected to limit their popularity among the lower-income population. The developing countries may witness low contribution to the market owing to low GDP and less disposable income among the consumers.

Bariatric smart wheelchairs are extremely helpful for individuals suffering from obesity because they can conveniently assist the heavyweight user's sitting posture and the upper and lower back.

However, the Asia Pacific is expected to hold the fastest market growth rate due to a large number of disabled and older people in countries such as China and Japan, resulting in high consumption of smart wheelchairs in the region.
