Personal Mobility Devices Market Trends



  • Rising adult population to drive the market growth


The number of people over 65 considered geriatrics is rising rapidly worldwide. With aging, one's ability to perform physical tasks declines. The number of older adults using mobile devices will probably rise, mostly because of their fear of falling. Over the following few years, this is projected to increase demand for personal mobility devices. According to data from the WHO, the percentage of the world's population over 60 years old will nearly double from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050. By 2050, 80% of the world's senior population will reside in low- and middle-income nations. Furthermore, through improvements in mobility aids like crutches, canes, and wheelchairs to improve senior people's movement, the scope of the Personal Mobility Devices Market growth is projected to expand. For instance, the ultra-lightweight and cutting-edge Ultra-Lite 2 electric wheelchair was officially launched in August 2021 by Falcon Mobility Singapore, a well-known distributor of Personal Mobility Aids (PMA) in Singapore. Falcon Mobility wants to provide a fresh, practical, and affordable wheelchair option to the elderly and disabled with the introduction of this product.


Over the projection period, the market is anticipated to rise due to increased product development and attention to problems faced by key companies and wheelchair users. For instance, Brisbane-based smart electric car and urban transport company e-Motion Concepts stated in November 2020 that it will establish a new business unit focusing on the market for personal mobility devices in urban settings. Additionally, in November 2021, Sunrise Medical LLC, a business that develops and produces mobility goods, announced the release of its new ZIPPIE Sphynx, a portable wheelchair that can, depending on the client's demands, fit inside the trunk of a small car. Few major businesses dominate the market, which is consolidating. Thus, driving the personal mobility devices market revenue.
