Besides, the increasing number of accidents causing permanent disability of legs, rising geriatric population is accompanied by decrease the functionality of organ systems resulting in dependency for day-to-day activities, are also the factors that are propelling the growth of the market.

On the contrary, the increasing adoption of prosthetics is one of the major factors hindering the growth of the market. Prosthetic technology has considerable scope due to new developments that are being introduced in the market which are reducing the need for a wheelchair.

Apart from it, less penetration of wheelchairs in emerging economies is also one of the major restraints of the market. As per Wheelchair Foundation, in developed economies, around 95% of people who require a wheelchair have access to it whereas it is only 10% in emerging economies. Around 110 million people in emerging economies don't have access to a wheelchair. Government initiatives regarding disabled-friendly infrastructure at public places are going to be one of the major opportunities in the market as it would increase the ease to use of a wheelchair in public places
