Hebei Evenice Medical Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional comprehensive enterprise integrating independent R&D, large-scale production, global trade and after-sales service, focusing on electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walkers and other mobility assistance equipment.
With 20 years of deep cultivation in the medical device industry, we have accumulated profound experience and strong technical strength, continuously improving intelligence and safety to create mobility solutions that meet user needs. We always adhere to our core mission: "Making Mobility Freer, Life More Dignified".
Understanding the local landscape — South Africa's growing demand for quality mobility solutions and the industry dynamics shaping the sector.
South Africa's public health sector, led by the National Department of Health, procures large volumes of manual and electric wheelchairs annually for hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and community health clinics across all nine provinces. Rising disability rates and an ageing population continue to drive procurement growth.
South Africa's medical wheelchair market is predominantly import-driven, with the majority of products sourced from China, Europe, and the USA. Chinese manufacturers — especially those meeting ISO and CE standards — are increasingly preferred due to competitive pricing, product variety, and reliable supply chain capabilities.
The South African assistive devices market is valued at hundreds of millions of Rands annually and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% through 2030. Increasing urbanisation, road traffic injuries, and chronic disease prevalence are key growth drivers boosting demand for both manual and powered wheelchairs.
South Africa's Constitution and the National Disability Policy Framework mandate equal access and mobility for persons with disabilities. Government tenders and NGO procurement programs regularly source wheelchairs, creating stable institutional demand for certified, durable, and affordable mobility equipment.
A growing private retail network — including pharmacies, medical supply stores, and online platforms — distributes wheelchairs to individual consumers. Brands that offer OEM/ODM customisation, local branding support, and after-sales service are gaining strong footholds in South Africa's competitive retail market.
South Africa serves as a regional distribution hub for sub-Saharan Africa. Importers and distributors based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban frequently re-export medical wheelchairs to neighbouring countries including Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, and Namibia, amplifying the commercial opportunity.
To ensure the high quality of our products, we implement strict quality control systems in line with international standards throughout the entire production process — from raw material selection to finished product inspection — effectively ensuring the reliability, intelligence and safety of each product leaving the factory. We also boast strong customised capabilities, relying on professional technical support and rich industry experience to provide one-stop personalised solutions, so as to accurately meet the diverse needs of different users and application scenarios, including South Africa's unique market requirements.
