Personal Mobility Devices Market (2026 - 2033)

Personal Mobility Devices Market Summary

The global personal mobility devices market size was valued at USD 12.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 13.6 billion in 2026 to USD 20.1 billion in 2033, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2026 to 2033. North America dominated the overall personal mobility devices industry in 2025 with a revenue share of over 30.0%. An increasing population, growing product development, and a rising number of accidents resulting in disabilities are key factors driving the market for personal mobility devices. The rising geriatric population and the prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide are major factors driving market growth.

Growing government support for accessibility and assistive healthcare solutions is creating favorable market growth opportunities. For instance, in May 2026, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced several standards for medical assistive technologies as part of the National List of Essential Assistive Products (NLEAP) initiative created by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The NLEAP document provides guidelines for policymakers, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders on the supply of assistive products. It also promotes the development of assistive technologies nationwide. These initiatives are expected to improve the availability, quality, and use of personal mobility devices. This, in turn, will support market growth and improve mobility outcomes for individuals with disabilities and age-related mobility challenges.

The growing global elderly population is a major market driver. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, reports that the percentage of people aged 65 and older in the country increased from 12.4% in 2004 to 18% in 2024. These older individuals are more likely to face mobility issues, including arthritis, osteoporosis, Parkinson’s disease, and musculoskeletal disorders. These conditions can severely limit their ability to perform daily tasks independently. As life expectancy continues to rise, the need for mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, canes and crutches is steadily increasing.

Market Dynamics

Analyst Perspective

The market is growing due to an increasing aging population, more people facing mobility issues, and greater awareness of solutions for independent living. As the number of individuals with age-related conditions, disabilities, and chronic diseases rises, the demand for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walkers, and other assistive devices is likely to increase steadily. New technologies, including lightweight materials, powered mobility options, and smart features, are improving product function and user experience. The main opportunity for companies in this market is to create affordable, user-friendly, and high-tech mobility solutions that improve independence and quality of life, while meeting the changing needs of aging and mobility-impaired individuals.

Product Insights

The wheelchair segment dominated the personal mobility device market, accounting for over 43.0% of revenue in 2025. The segment is expected to retain the leading position throughout the forecast period. Wheelchairs are among the most common assistive devices for personal mobility. The United Nations provides appropriate legislation for requesting member states to support the development, production, distribution, and servicing of these mobility devices. The use of appropriate wheelchairs enhances quality of life, reduces common problems such as deformities and pressure sores, and improves digestion and respiration.

Powered wheelchairs emerged as the largest sub-segment, in terms of revenue, in 2025. The increasing global geriatric population, chronic diseases, and the growing adoption of powered wheelchairs are key factors driving the wheelchair market.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the personal mobility devices market, accounting for the largest revenue share of 30.0% in 2025. The regional market will grow steadily over the forecast period due to an aging population, rising prevalence of age-related diseases, improved healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and favorable reimbursement policies for purchase or rental services. The region also enjoys a high awareness of assistive technologies and has major companies focused on product innovation and technology improvements. In addition, government programs that promote accessibility and independent living for people with disabilities, along with the growth of home healthcare services, are likely to speed up the use of personal mobility devices across North America.

Asia Pacific Personal Mobility Devices Market Trends

The personal mobility devices market in the Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market, with a CAGR of around 7.0% from 2026 to 2033. This is attributed to the increasing geriatric population in Asian countries, such as Japan, China, and India. In addition, extensive R&D activities by organizations such as the China Rehabilitation Research Center (CRRC) are expected to drive the regional market. Increasing disposable income levels, rising awareness, high healthcare expenditure, and government initiatives to improve healthcare access are also expected to boost market growth in the Asia Pacific.

Key Personal Mobility Devices Company Insights

Market players are focusing on adopting various growth strategies, such as partnerships and expanding product portfolios, to retain their market position.

• For instance, in March 2026, Permobil launched the new TiLite TR and ZR titanium wheelchair series, featuring improved lightweight construction, a refined frame design, and enhanced adjustability, aimed at improving performance and the user mobility experience.

• In July 2025, Sunrise Medical announced the acquisition of Made for Movement, a Norway-based developer of neurorehabilitation and assistive mobility solutions. The acquisition was aimed at strengthening Sunrise Medical’s rehabilitation technology portfolio and expanding its presence in clinical mobility and therapeutic device segments, including products such as Innowalk and NF-Walker. This strategic move is expected to enhance the company’s product diversification and support long-term market growth.
