The U.S. group 2 powered mobility devices market size is expected to reach USD 6.7 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Out-of-pocket sales are expected to form the fastest-growing sales channel owing to the reducing dependence on the traditional sources of insurance. However, manufacturers such as Drive Medical are still offering wheelchairs and scooters covered under Medicare. The introduction of technologically advanced products and commercial availability of a wide range of battery-powered mobility devices are some of the factors anticipated to rev up the acceptance of powered wheelchairs among customers making out-of-pocket expenses.
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted the supply chain of powered mobility devices due to the restrictions imposed by the government. The pandemic has negatively impacted the businesses of various market players in terms of sales and operating income.
The established presence of several manufacturers, the growing geriatric population, and introduction of the new devices in the market are the factors estimated to fuel demand for these devices in the country. The powered wheelchair segment was the largest product type segment in 2022. An increase in the number of spinal cord injuries and the aging population susceptible to disabilities is anticipated to be responsible for the growth of this segment. Manufacturers are entering into partnerships to offer improved products and consolidate their position in the market.
