The rise in healthcare automation is expected to drive the growth of the hospital robot market in the coming years. Healthcare automation involves the use of technology and software to streamline and optimize various processes within the healthcare sector. Hospital robots play a key role in this automation, assisting surgeons in performing minimally invasive procedures in operating rooms. For example, in September 2024, the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based international NGO, projected that the robotic-assisted surgery market would grow significantly, reaching over $14 billion by 2026, up from just over $10 billion in 2023. As a result, the increasing automation in healthcare is fueling the growth of the hospital robot market.

The growing number of surgical procedures is expected to drive the growth of the hospital robots market in the coming years. Surgical procedures are medical interventions that involve incisions using instruments, typically performed in an operating room. Hospital robots are increasingly being utilized in various surgical specialties, such as plastic and reconstructive surgeries, to enhance accuracy, precision, and overall patient outcomes. For example, in December 2023, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a national agency in Australia, reported that the number of elective (non-emergency) surgeries performed in the country’s public hospitals increased by 18% from 2021-22 to 2022-23. As a result, the rising number of surgical procedures is fueling the growth of the hospital robots market.

Prominent companies in the hospital robot market are increasingly concentrating on the introduction of hospital delivery robots equipped with elevator technology as a strategy to enhance their market revenues. Elevator technology is a critical component integrated into hospital robots to facilitate efficient and swift movement between different floors within a healthcare facility. As an illustration, in June 2023, Relay Robotics Inc., a US-based provider of robotics solutions, unveiled RelayRx for healthcare. RelayRx represents a hospital delivery robot designed to address the challenges posed by nursing shortages. These robots are instrumental in transporting essential hospital supplies, including test specimens, medications, and equipment. They ensure secure navigation through congested hospital environments while enhancing their navigational capabilities and incorporating security features for maintaining the chain of custody. Utilizing Relay's proprietary elevator technology, these robots can seamlessly traverse a hospital, connecting various areas such as the pharmacy and blood bank to patient rooms in an average time of seven minutes. This technological advancement marks a significant development in the hospital robot market.

In July 2022, Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD), a US-based medical technology company known for its healthcare robots, completed the acquisition of Parata Systems LLC for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move by BD is aimed at broadening its capabilities in team integration to promote future growth and innovation. The acquisition is intended to address pressing issues within the healthcare sector, including the shortage of clinicians, rising labor costs, the centralization of pharmacy services, and the increased clinical demands placed on pharmacy professionals. Parata Systems LLC, based in the United States, is a company specializing in pharmacy automation solutions.
