Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, advancements in mobility solutions, integration of ai and machine learning, advances in human-robot interaction, innovation in wearable technologies.

The increasing incidence of orthopedic disorders is expected to propel the growth of the healthcare assistive robot market going forward. Orthopedic disorders refer to a broad category of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Healthcare assistive robots for orthopedic disorders help support mobility and rehabilitation and perform precise surgical procedures, thereby enhancing patient care and recovery. For instance, in August 2023, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), a US-based research institution, nearly 1 billion people will experience osteoarthritis, with knee cases increasing by 75% and hand cases by 50% by 2050. Therefore, the increasing incidence of orthopedic disorders is driving the growth of the healthcare assistive robot market.

Major companies operating in the healthcare assistive robot market are developing innovative technologies, such as gait therapy software, to increase their profitability in the market. Gait therapy software refers to specialized programs that guide robots in assisting patients with walking exercises, aiming to improve mobility and rehabilitation outcomes. For instance, in January 2024, Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc., a US-based robotic exoskeleton manufacturer, launched GaitCoach Software for EksoNR, a clinical rehabilitation wearable robot designed for exoskeletal assistance. This revolutionized gait therapy with its capability to tailor sessions to individual patient needs, provide real-time, dynamic feedback, and deliver precise guidance akin to that of an additional clinical observer. This innovative software, which succeeds SmartAssist, enhances the integration of robotics in rehabilitation, as evidenced by 96% of experienced EksoNR users finding it highly intuitive and 93% valuing its guidance for simplifying usage.

In December 2022, Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc., a US-based robotic exoskeleton manufacturer, acquired a human motion and control business unit, including the indigo product line, from Parker Hannifin Corporation for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Ekso Bionics aims to expand its exoskeleton offerings into home use, collaborate with Vanderbilt University as a significant partner, and unite premier lower extremity robotics firms, enriching its medical solutions with superior technology and expertise. Parker Hannifin Corporation is a US-based manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, including healthcare robotics.
