Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the Swedish powered wheelchair market contracted from 18 046 units to 11 420 units. The decline accelerated in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic factors led to a sharp 27.7% drop in new passenger car registrations, reflecting reduced demand across the vehicle market including mobility aids.

Market volume continued to fall in 2021, reaching a low of 10 357 units, before recovering to 14 175 units in 2022.

In 2023, the market shrank again to 11 276 units against a backdrop of a reported decrease of 3 380 passenger cars in use in Sweden. The following year, 2024, saw a rebound to 12 806 units, supported by the adoption of the new Euro 7 emission standards for road vehicles and the ongoing rise in the share of plug-in cars, which encouraged fleet renewal and likely stimulated demand for modern powered mobility solutions.
