Which are the factors fueling the wheelchair accessible vehicle converters market?

A 2010 study by the United States Census Bureau stated that nearly one in five people have a disability in the country, which figures to 56.7 mn people or 19% of the population. Apart from the significant number of potential consumers, the Americans with Disability Act of 1990 is one of the most prominent factors driving the growth of the market for wheelchair accessible vehicle converters in North America. Title II of the act determines specific regulations for public transport and facilities to be equipped with assistive equipment for people using wheelchairs. American veterans who were disabled in the line of duty as well as those injured outside the war arena, get more than $40,000 in funds for such wheelchair vehicles.

Moreover, technological advancements in terms of fuel efficiency and the introduction of electric wheelchair accessible vehicles has further increased the adoption rate of these customized vehicles for people with disabilities. One of the primary restraints on this market is the lack of awareness among end users about the availability of these vehicles. However, in recent times, consciousness has grown among citizens owing to the penetration of the Internet and the emergence of social media. Rising geriatric population is another favorable factor for this market as age-related diseases frequently tend to affect mobility.
