The U.S. Group 2 Powered Mobility Devices market size is expected to reach USD 4.0 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 17.5% during the forecast period. Out-of-pocket sales are expected to form the fastest growing sales channel owing to reducing dependence on traditional sources of insurance. However, manufacturers such as Drive Medical are still offering wheelchairs and scooters covered under Medicare. 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.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, in 2015, U.S. had around 50 million people above 65 years of age, who represented approximately 15.0% of the total population. Established presence of several manufacturers, growing geriatric population, and an introduction of new devices in the market are estimated to fuel the demand for these devices in the country. A powered wheelchair was the largest product type segment in 2016. Increase in a number of spinal cord injuries and aging population susceptible to disability 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. For instance, in July 2017, National Seating & Mobility announced a partnership with WHILL, Inc. This partnership was intended for exclusive nationwide distribution of next-generation power wheelchairs. This strategic partnership is projected to offer new options to patients seeking intelligent personal electric vehicles.
