Germany Wheelchair Market Overview, 2028

The Germany wheelchair market is expected to add USD 87.7 Million by 2028.

The wheelchair market in Germany dates back to the early 20th century. The first folding wheelchair was invented in 1932 by German engineer Herbert Everest and American businessman Harry Jennings, which revolutionized the wheelchair industry and made it more accessible to people with disabilities. During World War II, Germany invested in the development of lightweight wheelchairs for injured soldiers, which contributed to the growth of the wheelchair market in the country. In the post-World War II era, the German government introduced legislation aimed at improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. This led to an increase in demand for wheelchairs and the emergence of several companies focused on the manufacturing and distribution of wheelchair products. During the 1960s and 1970s, the wheelchair market in Germany experienced significant growth, driven by advances in technology and increased government funding for research and development. This period saw the development of specialized wheelchairs for sports, rehabilitation, and everyday use, as well as the introduction of electric-powered wheelchairs. In the 1980s and 1990s, the German government introduced further legislation aimed at improving accessibility for people with disabilities, including the Disability Equality Act in 2002, which required public buildings and transportation to be made accessible to people with disabilities. This led to an increase in demand for high-quality wheelchair products and services and the emergence of several companies focused on meeting this demand. According to the research report "The Germany Wheelchair Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the wheelchair market is expected to add USD 87.7 Million by 2028. Germany is the leader in the wheelchair market for Europe. Germany has made significant efforts to make public spaces and buildings more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs. This has created a demand for wheelchairs that can navigate the various terrains and environments encountered in daily life. The aging population in Germany is expected to drive the demand for wheelchairs and other mobility aids, as older people are more likely to develop mobility issues. Also, advances in technology have made it possible to create more lightweight, durable, and user-friendly wheelchairs. This has led to increased demand for these products as they become more appealing and accessible to a wider range of people. Furthermore, the German healthcare system covers the cost of wheelchairs for those who require them. This has made it easier for people to obtain the necessary equipment to maintain their mobility and independence, thereby increasing demand.
