Healthcare Assistive Robot Global Market Report 2024

The healthcare assistive robot market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.09 billion in 2023 to $1.32 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the aging population, a rise in chronic disease prevalence, supportive regulatory measures and funding, increasing disposable income levels, a surge in sports-related injuries, and the growth of medical tourism in developing economies.

The healthcare assistive robot market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.75 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including labor shortages in healthcare, escalating healthcare costs, a heightened emphasis on patient care, increased awareness of assistive needs, and the expansion of telemedicine services. Major trends anticipated in the forecast period encompass technological advancements, particularly in mobility solutions, the integration of AI and machine learning into healthcare robotics, advances in human-robot interaction capabilities, and innovation in wearable technologies.

The anticipated rise in the incidence of orthopedic disorders is poised to drive the growth of the healthcare assistive robot market in the foreseeable future. Orthopedic disorders encompass a wide array of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Healthcare assistive robots tailored for orthopedic disorders play a pivotal role in supporting mobility, aiding in rehabilitation, and conducting precise surgical procedures, thereby significantly enhancing patient care and recovery. For instance, data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), a US-based research institution, projects that nearly 1 billion people will experience osteoarthritis by 2050, with knee cases expected to increase by 75% and hand cases by 50%. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of orthopedic disorders is serving as a key driver for the growth of the healthcare assistive robot market.

Prominent companies operating in the healthcare assistive robot market are actively engaged in developing innovative technologies to bolster their market presence and profitability. One such technological advancement is gait therapy software, specifically designed to enhance mobility and rehabilitation outcomes through guided walking exercises. For example, Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc., a leading US-based robotic exoskeleton manufacturer, unveiled the GaitCoach Software for EksoNR in January 2024. This groundbreaking software, tailored for clinical rehabilitation wearable robots such as EksoNR, revolutionizes gait therapy by offering personalized sessions tailored to individual patient needs. Moreover, it provides real-time, dynamic feedback and precise guidance akin to that of an additional clinical observer. This innovative software, succeeding the SmartAssist, significantly enhances the integration of robotics in rehabilitation, as evidenced by its intuitive interface, with 96% of experienced EksoNR users finding it highly intuitive, and 93% appreciating its guidance for simplifying usage.

In December 2022, Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc., a leading US-based manufacturer of robotic exoskeletons, completed the acquisition of a human motion and control business unit, including the indigo product line, from Parker Hannifin Corporation, for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move enables Ekso Bionics to diversify its exoskeleton offerings into the home use market segment, fostering collaboration with Vanderbilt University as a key partner. Additionally, the acquisition facilitates the consolidation of premier lower extremity robotics firms, enhancing Ekso Bionics' medical solutions with advanced technology and specialized expertise. Parker Hannifin Corporation, also headquartered in the United States, is recognized for its motion and control technologies, including healthcare robotics, making this acquisition a strategic fit for Ekso Bionics' expansion and innovation objectives.
