Powered Wheelchair Market: Key Trends and Drivers

The rise in the older population and the prevalence of chronic diseases are both contributing to the rise in disability that is set to benefit the market. Electrical wheelchairs are thus used in hospitals and healthcare facilities to increase the welfare of patients and healthcare workers. According to figures given by the World Health Organization, the proportion of persons aged 65 and more in the world population will quadruple from 7% in 2000 to 16% by the end of 2050. By that time, the number of elderly persons in the population will outnumber youngsters (aged 0–14 years). The Office of National Statistics of the UK estimated the proportion of people aged 85 and above is set to be double in the next 25 years.

Powered Wheelchair Market: Restraints & Challenges

The powered wheelchair market is expected to be restrained by the lack of reimbursement policies for powered wheelchair across several countries. The powered wheelchair is a class II medical device in the US, which requires a physicians prescription for reimbursement from Medicare. In Europe, the powered wheelchair is classified as a Class I medical device, which allows for reimbursement from national health insurance systems. However, in several countries, there is no specific classification for powered wheelchair, which limits the reimbursement for the device. The powered wheelchair market is also expected to be challenged by the high cost of the device. The powered wheelchair can cost up to $20,000, which is not covered by Medicare or most private insurance plans. In addition, the powered wheelchair requires regular maintenance and upkeep, which can add to the overall cost of ownership.
