KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Smart wheelchairs are power chairs with control system embedded in it. Such products can effectively help the users in eliminating the need for pushing a chair manually to make its move. Smart wheelchairs are highly innovative and durable, which thereby is likely to attract users towards buying such products. The emergence of technologically advanced features such as voice & face recognition, IoT, and others in the design of mobility assistive wheelchairs have shaped the overall wheelchair industry.   


Companies are keenly focusing on providing customizable, smart wheelchair items to the household and hospitality users to provide a complete mobility solution to the disabled & aged population. For instance, in April 2019, Microsoft Corporation, launched EyeGaze, a custom, smart wheelchair for the U.S. based retired NFL player Steve Gleason. Such wheelchairs enable users to move their body with the help of eye movement and a surface tablet attached to the chair.

Growing awareness regarding the availability of the various innovative mobility assistive devices such as wheelchairs, scooters, and others among the consumers is expected to drive the market growth. Additionally, a growing number of aged populations across the globe is likely to drive the demand for such mobility assistive devices. Moreover, rising consumer spending on healthcare-related products and services have provided ease in the consumption rate of such products.

Besides this, companies are keenly focusing on engaging their customer base regularly by proving their product knowledge through the various online platforms and social media channels. This helps the associated companies to capture the newer customer base, which thereby drives the market growth. For instance, in July 2020, Munevo GmbH, Aergo Limited, and WheelAir partnered together to launch a newer online platform where they can demonstrate the MedTech’s innovative wheelchair products and the related educational programs to the wide customer base.

However, higher repair and maintenance cost of the smart wheelchairs is anticipated to limit its demand among the lower income group of the population. Additionally, the other factor such as higher weight and size of the smart wheelchairs over to that of manual chairs is expected to restrain the market growth.
