• Increasing share of people with disability, illness, and impairment: The gradual increase in population with long term illness, disability and impairment due to old age, accidents and hereditary, is poised to drive the electric wheelchair market in the future. And this is further set to be assisted by the growing public awareness of powered mobility aids in the developing economies, with a higher share of the disabled population.
• Growing healthcare expenditure in developing economies: The increasing disposable income of the middle-class population in the developing economies is resulting in a significant increase in healthcare expenditures. Along with the patients with critical physical disability, non-disabled old age population is gradually adopting electric wheelchairs in order to be self-dependent in their daily activities. This is set to propel the electric wheelchair market growth during the forecast period 2017-2022.
• High Cost of the electric chairs: The high cost of electric powered wheelchairs with respect to manual wheelchairs are poised to pose a tough challenge to the market, especially for aged customers in developing economies, where healthcare expenditures are prominently lower than the developed economies. But apart from the initial cost, there are other costs related to the maintenance of these powered mobility aids such as battery maintenance, servicing and others for uninterrupted operation. This further impedes its adoption, unless it’s a case of severe physical disability.
• Stringent safety and quality regulations: The increasing stringency on quality assurance of these chairs for uncompromised safety and operation is also analyzed to be a constraint to the market growth. The new entrants or new products so developed must be in compliance with the regulations before its introduction to the market. In the Americas and European region, these regulations are being made more stringent to avoid the wheelchair failure and ensuring hassle-free operation during the product’s period of service. This poses a significant challenge for market growth as the new products must be in compliance with several safety regulations, thereby increasing its cost and hindering its adoption.
