The growing elderly population is expected to drive the expansion of the wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market in the future. The elderly population is defined as individuals aged 60 and above. These conversions provide significant benefits for elderly individuals, particularly those who experience considerable difficulty walking or climbing stairs, making their lives more comfortable. For example, in January 2024, statistics from the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, indicated that the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to rise from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, representing a 47% increase. Additionally, their share of the total population is expected to grow from 17% to 23%. Therefore, the increasing elderly population is driving the growth of the wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market.
The rising prevalence of neurological diseases is expected to drive the growth of the wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market. Neurological diseases include a wide array of conditions that impact the nervous system, leading to various physical, cognitive, and functional impairments. These diseases often cause mobility challenges, hindering individuals from moving freely. Wheelchair-accessible vehicle converters can adapt standard vehicles to accommodate wheelchairs, enabling those with neurological conditions to travel with ease and independence. For example, in December 2022, the Parkinson's Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, reported that nearly 90,000 individuals are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year, a notable 50% increase from the previous estimate of 60,000. Projections indicate that the number of people living with the disease may reach 1.2 million by 2030. Therefore, the increasing burden of neurological diseases is set to propel the wheelchair-accessible vehicle converter market.
