The global non-magnetic wheelchair market size was estimated to be USD 55.63 million in 2023 and is expected to reach at USD 116.85 million by 2034 with a CAGR of 6.98% during the forecast period 2024-2034. The demographic shift towards an aging population, a rise in the occurrence of physiological & neurological diseases, expanding installations of imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a surge in the establishment of new imaging centers, a growing incidence of injuries, uptick in wheelchair donations on a global scale, and rising introduction of advanced non-magnetic wheelchair are a few of the main elements driving the market's expansion.
Rising introduction of advanced non-magnetic wheelchair is predicted to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Non-magnetic wheelchairs are crafted as accessibility aids, intentionally devoid of magnetic properties to guarantee medical safety and compatibility. For instance, in January 2023, Wheel Freedom Ltd introduced an wheelchair made from aircraft-grade aluminum, specifically the Ki Mobility’s Rogue 2. Ki Mobility is renowned for producing high-quality lightweight rigid wheelchairs and is a preferred choice among our clientele.
By patient weight, 100 kg to 150 kg was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global non-magnetic wheelchair market in 2023 owing to the factors such as portability, durability, market demand, & product availability play crucial roles in determining the suitability of non-magnetic wheelchairs. Prominent manufacturers and distributors of these wheelchairs often recommend this weight class because it strikes a balance between the product's stability and the average weight of patients in this category. For instance, in February 2022, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints contributed a donation of 900 wheelchairs, 1,200 mobility aids, along with tools and training for local physiotherapists in Lenteguer, South Africa. This initiative is conducted in collaboration with the Western Cape Department of Health. Additionally, above 150 kg is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing obesity prevalence across various age brackets is accompanied by a rising obesity rate.
By magnetic field strength, up to 3T was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global non-magnetic wheelchair market in 2023. Clinical settings often utilize 3T or 3-Tesla MRI machines, given their advanced imaging capabilities and widespread accessibility in hospitals and healthcare facilities and rising initiatives by market players. For instance, in August 2022, The Salem VA Medical Center recently obtained 90 wheelchairs through a generous donation from the Salem Knights of Columbus. These wheelchairs, each priced at USD 150, will significantly assist in transportation and care. The Salem Council Knights of Columbus successfully raised over USD 16,000 within a few months to fund the purchase of these wheelchairs. The endeavor held personal significance for veteran David Wyble, the Grand Knight of the Salem Council Knights of Columbus. Additionally, up to 7T is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period. MRI machines with 7T or 7-Tesla provide superior resolution and more detailed imaging capabilities compared to their 3T counterparts. Moreover, there is an anticipated expansion of the applications of 7T machines, transitioning from primarily research purposes to broader use in clinical diagnostics.
By end-user, hospitals was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global non-magnetic wheelchair market in 2023. Hospitals serve a diverse patient demographic, offering a spectrum of diagnostic services and managing intricate and specialized cases that often require MRI scans. Moreover, hospitals typically allocate higher financial budgets for advanced technology and equipment, including non-magnetic wheelchairs. For instance, in October 2022, In partnership with the Rwanda Biomedical Center and the National Council of People with Disability (NCPD), the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints successfully concluded a 4-day event in Kigali, Rwanda. This event involved the delivery of wheelchairs and comprehensive training. Additionally, outpatient facilities is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Outpatient facilities are increasingly integrating various imaging services to cater to diverse medical applications, a trend that is anticipated to fuel the demand for non-magnetic wheelchairs.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the existence of advanced healthcare technologies, favorable healthcare reimbursement policies, an expanding geriatric population vulnerable to various diseases, rising incidence of sports injuries, and increasing partnerships & collaborations within market players. For instance, in June 2023, McLaren Health Care and MSU Health Care have formed a partnership to establish an imaging facility in Michigan, located at the McLaren Greater Lansing Healthcare Campus. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the continuous progress in medical technology, rising support from government entities, the fostering of public-private partnerships, and growing initiatives by market players. For instance, in April 2023, Siemens Healthineers inaugurated a new healthcare imaging manufacturing unit in Bengaluru, India.
