Personal Mobility Devices Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Production, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2021-2030

The global Personal Mobility Devices market size is expected to be worth around US$ 20.02 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Personal Mobility Devices market size was valued at US$ 11.8 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.10% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

Growing R&D investments for new product development and government initiatives aimed at strengthening reimbursement frameworks are some of the key factors propelling the market growth. The rising geriatric population and prevalence of target diseases, such as arthritis, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s, are also expected to drive the market over the forecast period.

According to a report published by the WHO in 2020, the number of people aged 60 years and above is likely to grow by 56.0%, from 962 million in 2017 to 1.4 billion in 2030, thus showcasing the probable addressable market. Furthermore, the rising number of surgical procedures, due to growing cases of neurological & cardiovascular disorders and an increasing number of accidents and trauma cases, is contributing towards the market growth. Europe was the most matured regional market in 2020 and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 33%.

Sophisticated healthcare infrastructure and growing healthcare expenditure are some of the factors contributing to its large share. Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to the rising demand for personal mobility devices as a result of the growing geriatric population and increasing disposable income & awareness levels. However, decreased production of these devices due to the Covid-19 pandemic has severely affected the industry growth. The prices of wheelchairs and have also dropped extremely.

Report Highlights

The wheelchair segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 41% in 2020 and will retain the leading position throughout the forecast period. Wheelchairs are one of the most common assistive devices used in personal mobility. United Nations provides appropriate legislations for requesting member states in supporting the development, production, distribution, and servicing of these mobility devices. Provision of appropriate wheelchairs enhances mobility & quality of life, reduces common problems, such as progression of deformities & pressure sores, and improves digestion & respiration.

According to the data published by KD Smart Chair, the estimated number of wheelchair users in the U.S. was 3.3 million in 2020, which is 1% of the total population. There are approximately 2 million new users every year, which translates to increased demand for wheelchairs in the country. Powered wheelchairs emerged as the largest sub-segment, in terms of revenue, in 2020. The rapidly increasing global geriatric population and growing penetration of powered wheelchairs are the key factors responsible for the growth of this sub-segment.

The WALKING AIDS segment is anticipated to register a significant CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period. According to the estimates published by the WHO in 2011, approximately 18% of the population experienced moderate, extreme, or severe difficulty when walking. With the rising population, this number is expected to continue growing, which, in turn, will boost the demand for walking aids. The segment is further divided into rollators and others, which include canes, crutches, and walkers. Rollators are bifurcated into premium and low-cost rollators.

Advanced features in premium rollators, such as laser attachment for assisting Alzheimer’s patients, lockable wheels, oxygen tank holders, hemiplegic handles, light frame, larger wheel diameter, pressure brakes, and extended weight-bearing capacity, boost the demand for these devices. Increasing disposable income and quick adoption of technologically advanced rollators, especially in European and North American countries, is expected to drive the growth of the premium rollators market.

Europe dominated the overall personal mobility devices market in 2020 with a revenue share of 33.4%. The regional market will grow at a steady rate during the forecast years due to the rising prevalence of age-associated diseases, increasing geriatric population, presence of improved healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and favorable reimbursement policies for purchase or rental services. However, Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market from 2021 to 2028.

This is attributed to the increasing geriatric population in East Asian countries, such as Japan and China. In addition, extensive R&D activities undertaken by various organizations, such as the China Rehabilitation Research Center (CRRC), are expected to drive the regional market. Increasing disposable income levels, rising awareness, high healthcare expenditure, and government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare access are also expected to boost the market growth in the Asia Pacific. The U.S. government doubled the funding for Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center programs for accelerating the research in the field of personal mobility.

As per the data published by the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, approximately, 14.3% of the population suffers from disabilities pertaining to vision, hearing, and motion impairment. The Canadian government formed a Disability Tax Credit Certificate allowing a disabled person to pay little or no tax. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (OMHLT) has provided support and funding to individuals with disabilities in accordance with the Assistive Devices Program (ADP).
