Power chairs, another name for electric wheelchairs, are motor chairs with electrical mechanisms. Instead of using human strength to propel them, these wheelchairs use an electric motor. The lightweight chairs with additional turning capabilities are incredibly useful for indoor use, especially when taking into account their size and physical composition. Since electric wheelchairs are easy to operate, they mostly assist immobilised individuals with special needs and limited range of motion. Moreover, those with cardiovascular or spinal disorders may also frequently utilise them.

A number of factors are driving the growth of the Asia-Pacific Electric wheelchair market. First off, the need for mobility aids like electric wheelchairs is greatly increased by the rapidly ageing population in the region. Market expansion is also fueled by growing disability rates, which are a result of a rise in chronic illnesses. The market need is further increased by technological developments in electric wheelchair design, such as lighter materials and longer-lasting batteries. Government programmes that assist and enhance accessibility for people with disabilities are also essential to the growth of the industry. Adoption rates are also influenced by customers' and healthcare professionals' growing understanding of the advantages of electric wheelchairs. In growing economies, urbanisation and infrastructural development improve accessibility, which promotes market expansion. Additionally, as the economy grows and people's disposable incomes rise, more people can now afford electric wheelchairs, which is driving the market expansion. 

Nonetheless, the market has a number of difficulties. A major obstacle that still exists is affordability, especially for those with low incomes. In many Asia-Pacific nations, inadequate infrastructure and accessibility restrictions make it difficult for people to use electric wheelchairs in public areas. Complicating matters are varying standards and complex regulations, as well as little knowledge among consumers and healthcare professionals. Disability-related stigma in society may also limit commercial expansion. Market dynamics are further complicated by technical problems pertaining to maintenance and failures as well as distribution difficulties in remote places. To promote fair access to and adoption of electric wheelchairs throughout the Asia-Pacific region, governments, manufacturers, and healthcare stakeholders must work together to overcome these obstacles.

The Asia-Pacific electric wheelchair market has been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in a variety of ways. Demand was first sparked by the increased attention being paid to healthcare and mobility assistance, but problems arose when supply chains and production processes were disrupted. Market expansion slowed as a result of lockdown regulations and unsettling economic conditions, especially in nations with stringent containment policies. Sales and distribution channels were also impacted by decreased consumer expenditure and restricted access to healthcare services. But the pandemic also made clear how crucial mobility supports are to preserving the independence of people with impairments, which might fuel demand in the long run as economies grow and healthcare systems adjust to new standards.
