The wheelchair accessible vehicle converter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.44 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The projected growth in the forecast period is anticipated due to several factors, including increased collaborations with automakers, government incentives promoting accessibility, a rising demand for inclusive transportation solutions, the incorporation of sustainable practices, and an emphasis on user-friendly designs. Additionally, major trends are expected to encompass advancements in vehicle design and technology, adherence to regulatory compliance and standards, customization and personalization of vehicles, the increasing prevalence of electric and hybrid vehicles, integration of assistive technologies, and a focus on utilizing lightweight materials. These trends are poised to drive advancements and developments in the wheelchair-accessible vehicle conversion industry.
The growth of the wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market is poised to be significantly propelled by the increasing number of the elderly population. Defined as individuals aged 60 and above, the elderly demographic benefits from wheelchair-accessible vehicle conversions, which enhance living comfort for those facing challenges in walking or climbing steps. According to data from America’s Health Rankings, more than 56 million adults aged 65 and above reside in the United States, constituting approximately 16.9% of the total population. With an anticipated increase to over 73.1 million older individuals by 2030, coinciding with the aging baby boomer generation, the rising elderly population becomes a driving force behind the growth of the wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market.
The wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market is expected to witness growth due to the increasing burden of neurological diseases. Encompassing a spectrum of conditions affecting the nervous system, neurological diseases can lead to various physical, cognitive, and functional impairments. Mobility challenges often arise as a consequence, restricting individuals' freedom of movement. Wheelchair-accessible vehicle converters play a crucial role in modifying standard vehicles, enabling easy and independent travel for individuals with neurological diseases. As an illustration, in the USA, nearly one million people were living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in 2022, and this number is projected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030. Consequently, the escalating burden of neurological diseases is expected to be a driving force propelling the wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market.
