Market Overview:

Stairlifts are devices used for transporting individuals with limited mobility from one level to another level in a home. They are usually installed on staircases and move individuals in a seated position to navigate stairs safely. Stairlifts come in three main types namely straight stairlifts used for stairs in a straight configuration, curved stairlifts used for rounded stairs, and platform lifts for transporting individuals and light loads to different levels in a home. Stairlifts offer independent mobility to aged and disabled individuals and help them access different floors in their homes without external assistance. Growing geriatric population base and rising installation of accessibility equipment in homes and public spaces are major drivers boosting demand for stairlifts.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in the stairlifts market is growing installation of stairlifts in public spaces and commercial buildings to improve accessibility. Public facilities, train/bus stations, airports and other multi-level commercial buildings are increasingly adopting platform stairlifts and wheelchair platform lifts to help mobility impaired individuals easily access different floors. Accessibility laws in various countries also mandate installation of stairlifts in public buildings. This is expected to significantly drive the commercial segment of the stairlifts market during the forecast period.
