In 2020, North America dominated the global wheelchair market. The growth of the market in the region is attributed to increasing demand for advanced assistive mobility equipment and growing number of product introductions in the market. Additionally, increasing focus on technology partnerships and distribution collaborations is also projected to drive the wheelchair market in North America. As per the 2020 SCI Data Sheet from the National SCI Statistical Center (NSCISC), around 17,810 new spinal cord injuries occur each year in the US. In the US, the most common causes of spinal cord injuries include vehicle crashes, falls, violence, and sports.
Moreover, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, medical device companies are finding difficulties in managing their operations. Many companies offering wheelchairs have their business operations in the US, and businesses are being adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has disrupted and restricted companies’ ability to distribute products, as well as resulted in temporary closures of their facilities. However, as vaccines are becoming available in 2021, the demand for medical equipment such as wheelchairs is expected to increase.
