The U.S. personal mobility devices market size is anticipated to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for personal mobility devices such as mobility scooters, power wheelchairs, and walkers is expected to increase due to the aging population, rising accidents causing disabilities, technological advancements, and new product developments. The market is mainly driven by the increasing prevalence of disabilities and chronic conditions among adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 27% of adults have a disability of some type in the United States.
One of the primary drivers is the growing aging population in the country. As people age, they tend to face mobility issues and require assistance in moving around. Personal mobility devices such as mobility scooters and power wheelchairs are crucial in helping them maintain their independence and mobility. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease, which affect mobility, are fueling the market growth. Additionally, technological advancements and innovations in the industry have made personal mobility devices more efficient, comfortable, and safe, further fueling the market's growth.
For instance, in November 2023, Magic Mobility, a Sunrise Medical brand, launched the Magic 360, a stylish mid-wheel-drive crossover wheelchair in North America. It is equipped with interchangeable wheels and tires, all-wheel suspension, and a personalized seating system that caters to a variety of sizes and postural requirements. It is ideal for use in tight indoor spaces and can handle rough terrain outdoors.
