US Bariatric Transport Wheelchairs Market is valued approximately USD 279.40 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.67% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Bariatric transport wheelchairs are specialized mobility aids designed for individuals with larger body sizes or weights who need enhanced stability and support. These wheelchairs are built with higher weight capacities, typically ranging from 300 to 600 pounds or more, depending on the specific model. They come equipped with reinforced frames, wider seats, and stronger components to ensure durability and safety while transporting bariatric patients. These wheelchairs are essential for offering comfortable and secure mobility options for people facing challenges related to obesity or weight-related mobility issues. The growing demand for technologically advanced and ergonomically designed wheelchairs is a significant trend that is supporting the expansion of the bariatric transport wheelchairs market over the forecast period 2024-2032.
The United States is poised for significant growth in the bariatric transport wheelchairs market over the forecast period. This growth is driven by factors such as its status as a developed region, increasing demands due to busy lifestyles, and the consumption of unhealthy and packaged foods on the rise. Also, the growing significant healthcare expenditure is expected to boost the adoption of bariatric transport wheelchairs by obese and overweight individuals. Moreover, advancements made by key market players are expected to drive market growth in the region. For example, in February 2023, Dynarex unveiled its Bari+Max line of bariatric wheelchairs, designed to accommodate higher weight limits with robust platforms, heavy-duty supports, and wider widths for enhanced durability and stability. Similarly, in March 2021, Invacare Corporation and its subsidiary, Alber USA, LLC, introduced the Alber e-motion (M25), a next-generation power assist device. This device is equipped with electrically powered wheels and a push rim-activated system, utilizing a robust in-hub motor and lithium-ion batteries for enhanced performance. However, the high initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs, as well as the dearth of skilled professionals to operate this equipment effectively are likely to hamper market growth between 2022 and 2032.
