According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electric Wheelchair Battery Market is accounted for $4.54 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $10.18 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 14.4% during the forecast period. A portable power source called an electric wheelchair battery is used for charging these wheelchairs, which help people with restricted physical capabilities go around. These batteries are essential for providing mobility support to the elderly, people with impairments, and people with medical issues. Both sealed lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries are available in the market, while sales of lithium-ion batteries have been trending higher because of its lighter weight, longer lifespan, and quicker charging times.

According to the article published in Axis care, in August 2023, about 12 million Americans utilize home health care services, reflecting a significant preference for aging in their own residences rather than relocating to long-term care facilities. According to the World Health Organization, 50 million people are injured annually due to vehicle accidents worldwide. According to Worldbank.org, nearly 200 million people are suffering from significant disabilities globally.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Aging population

The aging population is driving the market, as elderly individuals seek mobility solutions to maintain independence and quality of life. Electric wheelchairs are essential for improving mobility when dealing with health difficulties and mobility challenges. The need for electric wheelchairs is predicted to increase as the world's population ages, driving manufacturers to develop and enhance their products to meet the demands of this market.

Restraint:

High costs

The raw materials required in the creation of electric wheelchair batteries are the main cause of their high cost. The most common form of batteries used in electric wheelchairs are lithium-ion batteries, which require rare earth metals like cobalt and lithium, which are relatively expensive and uncommon. The complicated manufacturing procedure, which includes research and development that goes into making these batteries also, adds to their expensive price. In addition, the market for electric wheelchairs has grown dramatically in recent years, particularly in industrialized nations, which has resulted in a shortage and higher pricing.

Opportunity:

Increased prevalence of disabilities

Growth in the market is largely being driven by the rising prevalence of impairments. About 15% of people worldwide are estimated to be disabled, and as populations' age and the prevalence of chronic illnesses like arthritis and cardiovascular disease increases, this percentage is projected to grow. The need for dependable and durable batteries is increasing as more people become dependent on mobility aids like electric wheelchairs. This pattern is particularly noticeable in countries with robust healthcare systems and governments that encourage assistive technology, which increases market growth.

Threat:

Limited access in developing regions

The primary reasons for the limited supply of electric wheelchair batteries in developing regions are their high cost and the absence of necessary infrastructure to facilitate their use. Many people in these areas are dependent on conventional mobility aids or lack access to essential medical equipment. For individuals and families, the high cost of electric wheelchair batteries can be a major obstacle because it frequently exceeds their means. The obstacles that people with disabilities may encounter in these regions may be made worse by the restricted availability of electric wheelchair batteries.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had significant adverse impacts on the market for electric wheelchair batteries, disrupting supply chains and lowering access to healthcare. People with disabilities had limited movement due to lockdowns and safety concerns, which made it challenging for them to get critical supplies and medical attention. The production and distribution issues experienced by manufacturers resulted in a scarcity of electric wheelchairs and their component parts. Due to the pandemic's exposure of health disparities, the market slowed dramatically. As limitations loosen and demand rises, recovery efforts continue.

The front wheel drive electric wheelchair segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

During the forecast period, the front wheel drive electric wheelchair segment is anticipated to register the largest market share, due to multiple important factors. One of the main benefits is that it has more traction and stability than other products, making it easier for users to maneuver over uneven and soft surfaces as well as around obstacles. It is especially useful indoors because of its design, which improves manoeuvrability in confined situations. Front-wheel drive vehicles are user-friendly operation makes them appealing to people with limited strength or dexterity, which contributes to their appeal as a dependable mobility solution for a range of user demands.

The government agencies segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The government agencies segment is projected to have the highest CAGR in the market during the extrapolated period, because of their policies and initiatives that encourage innovation and accessibility. They provide safety guidelines, improve infrastructure like charging stations, and offer incentives and funds for cutting-edge electric wheelchair research and development. These organizations support the expansion and long-term viability of the electric wheelchair industry by fostering collaborations between the public and commercial sectors.

Region with largest share:

During the estimation period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to capture the largest market share, as a result of the aging population, growing awareness of the advantages of electric wheelchairs, and advancements in healthcare facilities. The demand for electric mobility gadgets has also surged due to Asia's high rate of traffic accidents. In the upcoming years, government campaigns to promote electric vehicles-including wheelchairs-are anticipated to propel industry expansion.

Region with highest CAGR:

The North America region is predicted to witness the lucrative growth rate throughout the forecast period, owing to advanced healthcare systems, an aging population, government programs, and technology advancements. While technological developments improve user experience and safety, advanced healthcare systems promote accessibility for those with disabilities. Government programs give producers money and support, which helps to maintain a healthy market environment for electric wheelchairs in North America.
