Electric Wheelchair Market Size Analysis Report - Market Share, Forecast Trends and Outlook (2025-2034)

The global electric wheelchair market attained a value of USD 4.10 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 9.60% to reach USD 10.25 Billion by 2034.

The Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Global Electric Wheelchair Industry

Due to strong purchasing power and the increasing elderly population, North America has historically been the leading market for electric wheelchairs. The increased awareness and the expanding trend of utilising technologically superior electric wheelchairs are also contributing to the market growth in the region. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness a significant growth in the forecast period, as it is home to two of the world's most populous countries, China and India, both of which have a large number of aging populations. Because of these reasons, the market in the Asia-Pacific is expected to expand throughout the forecast period.

Increasing Demand for Centre Wheel Drive to Augment the Growth of Global Electric Wheelchair Industry

The centre wheel drive segment accounted for a significant market share owing to small turning radius, light front tires, easy manoeuvring through narrow spaces, and better stability of centre wheel drive. The fact that centre wheelchairs offer greater advantages than manual wheelchairs, such as enhanced travel distance, minimalised effort for mobilisation, and enabling the user to carry out daily activities independently. Because old and disabled individuals find it difficult to use a manual wheelchair efficiently, these types of wheelchairs are expected to drive the market in the forecast period.
