A wheelchair is a power-driven or manually operated chair designed primarily for individuals who suffer from disability in terms of outdoor or indoor mobility. Apart from wheelchairs, individuals with mobility disabilities use crutches, walkers, braces, canes, etc. A basic wheelchair comprises a seat and a back along with two large wheels on each side and two small wheels in front with a footrest. A standard manual wheelchair is a wheelchair with weight capacity of 250 pounds or less, seat depth of 15 to 19 inches, weight of more than 36 pounds, and height of 19 inches or more. The standard wheelchair consists of a fixed, detachable or swing-away footrest.
Growing elderly population in developing countries is expected to drive the market for manual wheelchairs during the forecast period. Various types of homecare and hospital wheelchairs are being developed in terms of technology to offer support to people with disabilities. This, in turn, is expected to boost the manual wheelchair market in the next few years. Increasing incidence of spinal cord injuries among elderly people worldwide is resulting in mobility disability issues among them. This factor is also projected to drive the global manual wheelchair market during the forecast period.
