Forecasts anticipate continued rapid growth, with the market projected to reach $8.8 billion in 2028, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. This expansion is propelled by increasing government initiatives, a growing demand for electric mobility devices for people with disabilities, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, and rising healthcare expenditure. Major trends in the forecast period include the launch of smart wheelchairs, next-generation rear-wheelchairs, venerable e-motion power-assist systems, new lightweight electric wheelchairs, technological advancements, and a focus on strategic partnerships and collaborations.

Global Electric Wheelchair Market Key Driver

The growth of the electric wheelchair market is fueled by an increase in the incidence of spinal deformities, referring to abnormal alignment or curvature of the bony vertebral column. Severe forms of conditions like scoliosis can lead to disability, necessitating the use of wheelchairs for mobility and comfort. As highlighted by the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, scoliosis, a prevalent spinal disorder affecting 2% to 3% of Americans, equating to 6 million to 9 million people in 2021, underscores the significance of electric wheelchairs for those affected. The rising prevalence of spinal deformities is expected to drive the electric wheelchair market, with market sizes in 2023, 2024, and 2028 playing a pivotal role in assessing its growth trajectory.
