What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Pediatric Wheelchair Market?
The growth of the pediatric wheelchair market is anticipated to be driven by the rising number of children living with disabilities. Such disabilities encompass a wide spectrum including physical impairments, mental challenges, developmental issues or emotional problems that hinder a child's everyday functioning and full integration into the society. Enhanced diagnostic tools, better survival rates for preterm babies, and a heightened awareness of developmental disorders have contributed to the increase in the number of children with disabilities. Pediatric wheelchairs promote independent mobility and make it easier for children with disabilities to navigate their surroundings and engage in activities, which they would otherwise find difficult. The statistics of disability in the UK as reported by the House of Commons Library, a UK-based professional governmental entity in August 2023, showed that in the year 2021/22, 11% of children, 23% of working-age adults, and 45% of those over State Pension age were disabled. This increasing number of children living with disabilities is a key factor propelling the growth of the pediatric wheelchair market.
