The wheelchair is a mobility aid designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals with walking limitations caused by spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, or aging. By enabling users to carry out daily tasks and maintain independence, wheelchairs play a vital role in improving personal mobility and fostering inclusion. People with limited mobility due to accidents, illnesses, or disabilities can choose from various wheelchair options available in the market, including manual and electric models, tailored to their specific needs. These wheelchairs differ in control mechanisms, usage methods, and technology.
According to SPER Market Research, the Middle East and Africa Wheelchair Market Size By Application, By Product, By Type- Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies, and Segment Forecast to 2033 is projected to reach USD 0.42 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.4%.
Several factors contribute to the demand for wheelchairs in the region. High rates of mobility challenges stemming from accidents, diseases, and congenital disabilities drive adoption. Additionally, infrastructural inadequacies such as poorly maintained roads, limited ramps or elevators, and insufficient public transit options hinder mobility for individuals with disabilities. Cultural stigmas and social exclusion further exacerbate these challenges. Wheelchairs not only enhance mobility but also empower users to engage more fully in their communities.
However, the market faces hurdles, including the high cost of wheelchairs, particularly electric models, insufficient awareness, and limited infrastructure. These factors are expected to restrain market growth in the region over the forecast period.
