The increasing number of geriatric patients, surging prevalence of obesity, developing post-treatment services, and improving healthcare infrastructure will drive the wheelchair market at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period (2021–2025). The market was valued at $5,386.0 million in 2020, and it is projected to generate $7,818.5 million revenue in 2025. Moreover, the rising cases of spinal cord injuries (SCIs), surging awareness about wheelchair products, and escalating disposable income will also contribute to the market growth in the foreseeable future.
One of the key growth drivers of the wheelchair market is the mounting number of geriatric patients. According to the United Nations’ World Population Ageing 2019 report, the population of individuals aged 65 years or above will reach 1.5 billion, by 2050. As geriatric people have weak immune systems, they are highly prone to chronic diseases. Due to this reason, old people usually suffer from some kind of disability. Owing to these disabilities, the geriatric population is generating a high demand for wheelchairs across the world.
