As people get older, their organ systems lose or become less effective, making them dependent on others to carry out daily tasks. For instance, in the case of arthritis, joint discomfort reduces the range of motion in the lower body, which restricts locomotion. The WHO predicts that by 2050, the percentage of people over 60 in the world would nearly double, from 12% to 22%. The number of elderly people will rise, which will eventually raise demand for Wheelchairs Market.
The population of persons over 60 years old was 549.2 million in Asia and 183 million in Europe in 2017, according to The United Nations (UN), and these populations are projected to grow to 1,273.2 million and 247.2 million, respectively, by 2050. Throughout the projected period, these factors are anticipated to fuel the expansion of the worldwide Wheelchairs Market.
