Personal Mobility Devices Global Market Report 2025

The personal mobility devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.74 billion in 2024 to $12.67 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as urban congestion, rising fuel prices, the expansion of bicycle infrastructure, the rise of e-commerce delivery services, and growing environmental consciousness.

The personal mobility devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by the expansion of micromobility services, supportive urban planning policies, increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation, growing health and fitness trends, and a higher adoption of swappable batteries. Key trends in the forecast period include the rise of subscription-based personal mobility device models, the integration of internet of things (IoT) features, a focus on vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, improvements in safety features and standards, and the growing popularity of foldable and portable designs.

The increasing prevalence of disabilities is expected to drive the growth of the personal mobility devices market. Disabilities, which include long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments, can limit an individual's full participation in society. The rise in disability rates is largely due to the aging population, as conditions such as arthritis, vision loss, and dementia become more common with age. Personal mobility devices, such as wheelchairs and scooters, are crucial for individuals with disabilities as they help maintain independence, improve access to daily activities, and facilitate greater participation in both social and professional life. For example, a 2023 report from the UK Department for Work and Pensions highlighted that in 2021/2022, the number of people with long-term health conditions increased by 610,000 (4.4%), while those classified as disabled rose by 730,000 (8.8%), and those severely limited by their disability grew by 410,000 (12.3%). Therefore, the growing prevalence of disabilities is a key driver of the personal mobility devices market.

Companies in the personal mobility devices market are focusing on innovative products, such as hands-free mobility devices, to revolutionize personal mobility. These devices combine movement assistance with immersive digital experiences for a wider range of applications. A hands-free personal mobility device is a self-balancing, motorized solution that enables users to move without using their hands, often controlled by body movements or posture for short-distance travel. For instance, in February 2024, Honda Motor Co. introduced the UNI-ONE, a hands-free personal mobility device that enhances user interaction and mobility with advanced self-balancing technology and intuitive control mechanisms. The UNI-ONE features a seat that can be adjusted for eye-level communication with both standing and seated individuals, promoting more natural social interactions. Equipped with Honda’s Omni Traction Drive System, the device allows smooth, multi-directional movement controlled by the user's posture, offering a seamless mobility experience and increased accessibility for users with varying mobility needs.
