High cost of manual wheelchairs is a major restraint for market growth. Manual wheelchairs can be expensive, especially for high-end models with advanced features. This pricing barrier can limit access to manual wheelchairs for some consumers, particularly in developing countries with limited healthcare resources.

Limited reimbursement policies for manual wheelchairs pose another challenge for market growth. In many regions, insurance coverage and government assistance programs may not fully cover the cost of manual wheelchairs, making them less accessible to individuals with disabilities or limited financial means.
