Power wheelchairs, as an important assistive mobility device, are produced in several countries and regions around the world. Below are some of the major power wheelchair-producing countries and their characteristics:
Germany
Germany, as one of the countries with the highest industrial level in the world, has been maintaining this leading position in the field of electric wheelchair production. Before 2010, most electric wheelchairs in China relied on imports from Germany. Most of the electric wheelchairs in China were imported from Germany before 2010. The electric wheelchairs produced in Germany have excellent performance and are sturdy and durable, with a low probability of failure. But in recent years Germany has lost the cheap Russian natural gas supply, which has increased energy costs, many energy-intensive industries, such as chemicals, glass, paper, ceramics, and the production of power wheelchairs with steel and aluminum alloy, etc. have been affected, resulting in the price of industrial products produced by these industries. Germany is a developed country with high domestic labor prices, leading to higher prices for power wheelchairs produced in Germany.
The United States
The quality of electric wheelchairs produced in the United States is also trustworthy, and the electric wheelchairs produced in the United States have a technological appearance and advanced intelligent functions. Although electric wheelchairs produced in the United States have various functions, the price of electric wheelchairs produced in the United States is on the high side due to the high labor cost and the incomplete industry chain in the middle and low end. But the same limitations of the price is too high. And part of the U.S. industrial supply chain since the long-distance suppliers, if you need to purchase a large number of power wheelchairs in a short time, there may be a lack of capacity.
Japan
Japan also has a certain market share in the field of electric wheelchairs. Japanese power wheelchair products are favored by users for their advanced technology and user-friendly design. For example, Sunrise Medical is a Japanese company specializing in the production of medical equipment, and its power wheelchair products are highly rated worldwide. The disadvantage of power wheelchairs made in Japan is again the higher price, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
China
China’s electric wheelchair manufacturing started late, but China’s electric wheelchair manufacturers continue to learn from foreign research and development of products, continuous design improvement, and product practice. By absorbing foreign advanced technology and concepts, and gradually improving the quality and function of their products, the industrial chain of China’s electric wheelchairs has been quite perfect, and because of China’s large domestic population and large domestic market, there is a very fierce competition among China’s electric wheelchair manufacturers, which makes the quality of electric wheelchairs continue to rise, while the price continues to fall. Since China’s labor costs are lower compared to developed countries such as the United States and Germany, this also makes the power wheelchairs produced in China more price competitive. The lowest FOB price of a manual wheelchair in China has been below $30, and the lowest FOB price of a folding power wheelchair is below $300. China’s power wheelchair industry supply chain is also very sound, the world-renowned Ningde Times, Jingwei Lithium can provide batteries for power wheelchairs. China is also a major steel producer, so there is no shortage of production capacity. If you are looking for a power wheelchair ODM factory, a China power wheelchair manufacturer will be your best choice.
