DUBLIN, May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of Wintergreen Research, Inc's new report "Wheelchair Medical Equipment Markets Market Share Analysis: Market Shares, Analysis, and Index, Worldwide, 2006 to Current, Quarterly" to their offering.

Wheelchair technology is evolving to give people with disabilities more mobility. Mobility depends on a wheelchair that is fit to purpose. Power and manual wheelchairs are bought depending on the needs of the customers. Medical scooters are a growing segment of mobility for the aging population, as they perform better in an outdoor environment. Many issues impact the choice of a wheelchair, including cost and reimbursement availability.

Homecare Medical Equipment Markets are poised to achieve continuing growth as the aging population needs homecare treatment. The homecare equipment market consists primarily of wheelchairs, scooters, oxygen treatment equipment, accessibility beds, lifts, and toilets.

Homecare medical equipment has until recently been sold primarily through distributers. The impact of direct sales through the Internet has brought about some distribution market consolidation, leading to a decrease of in the number of distributers for homecare equipment. As the population ages, people are more frail and need assistance for mobility.

Quarterly updates provide information on the changing nature of the market, companies of particular note, and overall market strength. Both public and private companies are included to allow direct comparison of each company to its direct competitors. This is not using comps that are so typical in the market, but is actually comparing the large companies to the smaller private companies in the same market to allow actual direct comparison.
