The wheelchair industry has achieved high cost performance and independent control
China's wheelchair industry chain has been gradually improved. The Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions have formed complete parts supply and industrial clusters.
China's wheelchair industry chain has been gradually improved. The Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions have formed complete parts supply and industrial clusters. The domestic production rate of core components such as lithium batteries, motors, and controllers has exceeded 90%, with controllable costs and efficient delivery, providing a solid support for the high cost performance of domestic wheelchairs. Domestic components have been making continuous breakthroughs in technical performance. The energy density of lithium batteries has been enhanced, with a cycle life exceeding 2,000 times and stable low-temperature performance, ensuring the range and safety of electric wheelchairs. The motor features strong power, low noise and low energy consumption, making it suitable for complex road conditions. The controller is highly responsive, operates stably and supports the integration of multiple intelligent functions.
The mature supply chain gives domestic wheelchairs a significant price advantage. The average selling price of manual wheelchairs is about 600 yuan per unit, and that of electric wheelchairs is about 3,000 yuan per unit, which is only half of the price of similar products of imported brands. One third, with outstanding cost performance. Meanwhile, domestic enterprises have responded promptly to market demands, flexibly adjusting product designs and functional configurations. They have optimized their products based on the body types and usage scenarios of domestic users, such as widening seats to suit different body types, enhancing shock absorption to adapt to the bumpy roads in old residential areas, and optimizing folding designs to accommodate small-sized apartments.
