An increase in the incidence of spinal deformities is contributing to the growth of the electric wheelchair market. Spinal deformity refers to an abnormal alignment or curve of the bony vertebral column. Scoliosis in severe forms will be disabling. For some people diagnosed with Scoliosis, a wheelchair is required for mobility and comfort. For instance, in July 2024, according to the Journal of Global Health, a Scotland-based open-access academic journal, in a study of over 2.22 million youngsters, the prevalence of scoliosis was 1.20% after the final screening, with a higher rate in girls (1.57 times more likely than boys). The peak prevalence occurred at ages 13-14 for girls (1.42%) and 15-16 for boys (1.07%). Therefore, an increase in the incidence of spinal deformities is driving growth in the electric wheelchair industry.
