Usability challenges in developing regions:
Many developing regions lack accessibility infrastructure like wheelchair ramps, elevators, and pathways. This makes it challenging for wheelchair users to navigate their environment independently, limiting adoption. Awareness and social acceptance of disabilities is also lower in developing countries, restraining market prospects.
However, as the government is implementing various policies and program to improve accessibility in public spaces and transportation, including the installation of wheelchair ramps and elevators in building is increasing the adoption of wheelchairs in South Korea.
