Key Takeaways

• The power operated vehicles (wheelchair and scooter) market is expected to grow about 3.0 percent during the 2004-2012 period.
• The Internet and blogs have emerged as a major channel for consumers and manufacturers in finding and disseminating information regarding products.
• There are hundreds of companies in this space, from makers of high-tech wheelchairs and scooters to makers of walking aids such as canes and crutches.
• Successful wheelchair companies must demonstrate ability to “mass customize” - i.e. achieve scale in production yet retain flexibility to customize product for individual needs.
• Despite price pressures, the sweet spot is the sport/ultralight weight segment, which is largely consumer-driven and less medicare-dependent.
• The Patient Lifts market is growing the fastest. Healthcare worker safety, increasing obesity, aging population, and trend toward home care - are key growth drivers. Arjo leads the global patient lift market.
• The Mobility Aids market is characterized by 2-3 companies dominating each product segment, followed by extreme fragmentation in tiers two and three.
• Entry barriers relatively low, but scaling up is a challenge.

Growth Drivers

• Aging population and increasing disability rates.
• Technological advances in the design and construction of aids and appliances for elderly and disabled people.
• New lighter and stronger materials such as carbon fiber and titanium.
• Advanced battery technology, increasing the range for power-assisted wheelchairs.
• Advances in robotics and cybernetics with applications in assistive technologies.
• Rapid increase in the number “morbidly” obese patients worldwide driving demand for specialized wheelchairs and patient handling equipment in hospitals.
• Increasingly active lifestyles among all age groups.
• Increasing awareness about disability and efforts to integrate them into the workforce and society.
• Healthcare worker injuries and safety issues - resulting in significant workers compensation costs to hospitals, driving demand for patient lifts.
