The global robotics wheelchairs market was valued at USD 80 million in 2019, expanding at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period, 2021 – 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing number of elderly population and physically disabled people across the globe.
Manual wheelchairs bring about dependency on others for daily needs and regular actions. This dependency can be eliminated with help of robot wheelchairs, as these wheelchairs can be controlled with the help of joysticks and do not require another other’s assistance. Robotic wheelchairs can be transformed right into a mattress and can be controlled with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Robotic wheelchairs have increased the capability of wheelchairs. Integration of latest technologies such as IoT and inclusion of smart sensors and navigational mapping have made robotic wheelchairs a self-sustained solution. The addition of voice command to manipulate the mobility of robot wheelchairs is an upcoming innovation of the market. Voice control could be very useful, in particular for those who've misplaced their frame mobility.
The Research Institute for Central Mechanical Engineering under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research developed an autonomous intelligent robotic wheelchair that has motorized automatic braking, autonomous path planning, obstacle detection capability, floor level detection, and a small turning radius for mobility.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:
- Increasing innovation and rising investment investments in the development of advanced robotic wheelchairs, which can augment their capability and flexibility are propelling the market growth.
- Rising numbers of accidents can be a driver for the market growth.
- Increasing disposable income is one of the major drivers of the growth of the market.
- High cost of robotics wheelchairs can restrain the market growth.
- The COVID-19 had disrupted the manufacturing industry. This, in turn, had negatively impacted the supply chain, which had impeded the market growth. However, the market is expected to recover soon.
- The wide range of options available for next-generation robotic wheelchair products is expected to boost the sales, boosting the market growth.
