Electric Wheelchair Market Growth & Trends
The global electric wheelchair market size is expected to reach USD 9.05 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth factors are rising road accident disability cases, a growing geriatric population, rising cases of arthritis and osteoporosis, technological advancements, and government initiatives. The electric wheelchair is a mobility device powered by batteries and controlled through a joystick or other electronic controls, allowing individuals with limited mobility to move independently both indoors and outdoors. The increasing incidence of disabilities is a major factor in market growth. According to the WHO article published in March 2023, an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide, or 16% of the global population, live with significant disabilities. This equates to roughly 1 in every six individuals. Many of these disabilities are severe enough to reduce life expectancy by up to 20 years compared to those without such impairments. The growing number of individuals facing mobility challenges due to these conditions is fueling rising demand for electric wheelchairs. As more people require support for long-term mobility issues, electric wheelchairs are essential for improving independence, quality of life, and access to daily activities.
Advancements in electric wheelchair technology have significantly improved the functionality, safety, and user experience for individuals with mobility challenges. According to the article published in February 2024, modern electric wheelchairs are increasingly equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. These smart wheelchairs can autonomously navigate their environment, monitor the user's health, and integrate with smart home systems. For instance, the Munevo DRIVE system allows users to control their wheelchairs using head gestures, enabling greater independence for those with severe muscle diseases. The Munevo DRIVE system allows users to control their wheelchairs using subtle head movements, making it easier for individuals who cannot use their hands effectively. This system can also adjust seating positions to prevent pressure ulcers.
