Introduction
Mobility scooters have transformed how people with mobility challenges maintain independence. These powered devices enable aging individuals and those with disabilities to move freely, engage socially, and live confidently—especially in communities emphasizing inclusive mobility solutions. As the demand grows, mobility scooters are becoming essential tools in public health, retail, and assistive technology sectors.

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global mobility scooter market was valued at approximately USD 1.48 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.83 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% between 2025 and 2032.[¹]
Regionally, North America dominates the market share due to aging populations, while Asia-Pacific is anticipated to register the fastest growth owing to increased health awareness and disposable incomes.
