North America holds a significant market portion of the personal mobility devices market share due to the growing geriatric population and leading healthcare facilities like Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS). According to industry reports, it is estimated that the number of Americans aged 65 and over will rise by 47%, from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million in 2050. Additionally, the share of this age group in the overall population is expected to increase from 17% to 23%.
In the United States, there were 42,795 fatal vehicle crashes in 2022, compared to 36,835 fatal car crashes in 2018, an increase of more than 16%. The rising number of accidents causing disabilities drives the market growth. Constant product development and the presence of leading market players offering advanced mobility devices further expand the market.
In August 2022, GF Health Products, Inc. launched a tilt-in-space wheelchair named Everest & Jennings® PureTilt Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair to provide safe and independent transitions to facilitate optimal comfort for a patient. An adjustable height back with ergonomic contours is a basic feature of this PureTilt wheelchair. This manual-tilt wheelchair, which is essential for comfort and pressure alleviation, features a tilt control that the user may modify, allowing them to adapt their posture as needed during the day.
The wheelchair comes with several features, such as user-operated seat-tilt adjustment, padded, hinged, non-detachable arms, angle-adjustable legrest assembly, and others. The tilt-in-space option offers greater control over how patients’ bodies are positioned to give them any necessary pressure relief; self-adjust placement helps reduce discomfort when seated for extended periods of time; and self-tilt encourages freedom for users with daily or leisure activities.
