The personal mobility devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.57 billion in 2025 to $13.53 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of electric mobility options, high dependency on traditional walking aids, growing urban population with mobility needs, increasing hospital and clinic mobility requirements, nascent awareness of smart mobility devices.
The personal mobility devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in electric and hybrid PMDs, rising investment in smart and connected mobility solutions, increasing government initiatives for accessible urban transport, growth in homecare and outpatient services, expanding adoption of IoT-enabled and autonomous mobility devices. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of personal mobility devices for urban commuting, growing demand for compact and lightweight mobility solutions, increasing focus on accessibility for elderly and differently-abled individuals, integration of smart features and iot connectivity in pmds, expansion of homecare and outpatient mobility services.
The increasing prevalence of disabilities is expected to drive the growth of the personal mobility devices market in the coming years. Disabilities are long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments that, when interacting with various barriers, may limit an individual’s full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. The rise in disabilities is largely attributed to the aging population, as age-related conditions such as arthritis, vision impairment, and dementia become more common with increased life expectancy. Personal mobility devices, including wheelchairs and scooters, are crucial for individuals with disabilities, as they enhance independence, facilitate access to daily activities, and support greater participation in social and professional life. For example, in June 2025, according to a report published by the Department for Work and Pensions, a UK-based government department, during the 2023-24 period, the number of working-age people reporting a long-term health condition rose by 300,000 (2%), those classified as disabled increased by 290,000 (3.1%), and individuals whose day-to-day activities were severely limited rose by 170,000 (4.4%). Therefore, the rising prevalence of disabilities is driving the growth 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.

Personal mobility devices (PMDs) are small, lightweight transportation solutions designed to assist individuals in traveling short distances with greater efficiency, offering increased independence and flexibility for daily movements. These devices are essential for improving personal convenience, enhancing urban mobility, and providing accessibility to individuals who face mobility challenges or prefer alternative methods of transportation.
The primary types of personal mobility devices include walking aids, handbikes, mobility scooters, medical beds, stair-lifts, power add-ons, wheelchairs, and other products. Walking aids are devices that assist individuals with walking difficulties, such as canes, crutches, walkers, and rollators. These products are distributed through a variety of channels, including wholesalers, distributors, online retailers, multi-brand stores, and specialty shops. They are commonly used by end-users in settings such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, urgent care centers, and homecare environments.
The personal mobility devices market consists of sales of mobility-assist beds, hospital and rehab mobility equipment, shower and commode mobility chairs, pediatric mobility devices, and post-surgical mobility aids. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
