Digitization Fuels Cost of Personal Mobility Devices, Subsequently Limiting their Sales in Under-developed Economies

The rising geriatric population around the world has emerged as a key driver of the global personal mobility devices market. Transparency Market Research (TMR) projects demand for these devices to steadily increase in Asia Pacific, as the population of aged people increases in India and China. Apart from the geriatric population, caregiving services are also essential for people suffering from disability. A rise in the number of people living with a disability, either temporary or permanent, will fuel demand for personal mobility devices.

Despite witnessing positive growth worldwide, the high cost of these mobility devices will limit their market’s expansion to an extent. The low acceptance of digitized devices will also negatively impact the market’s trajectory. Nevertheless, grants from international organizations and favorable policies will boost sales of personal mobility devices in the coming years.

As per TMR, the global personal mobility devices market stood at US$6.65 bn in 2014. Rising at a CAGR of 7.30% between 2015 and 2023, the market is expected to reach US$12.7 bn by the end of 2023.
