The global rehabilitation robots market size reached US$ 1,299.9 Million in 2023. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 6,344.2 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7% during 2024-2032. The increasing aging population, rising prevalence of disabilities, technological advancements, and government initiatives and funds are primarily driving the market growth.
Major Market Drivers: A significant rise in the number of individuals experiencing paralysis, quadriplegia and amputation represents one of the key factors impelling the global rehabilitation robots market growth. Moreover, the growing geriatric population, which is more susceptible to health disorders, is escalating the demand for rehabilitation robots.
Key Market Trends: The integration of voice-recognition algorithms for enhancing the functionality and flexibility of the devices is anticipated to propel the market growth. Rising investment in developing lightweight variants, making products accessible off-the-counter and combining virtual reality (VR) and video games to maximize patient motivation coupled with the improving healthcare infrastructure in several countries, is expected to increase the adoption of rehabilitation robots in the coming years.
Competitive Landscape: Some of the prominent companies in the market include Bionik Laboratories Corp., Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc., Hocoma AG (DIH International Ltd.), Kinova Inc., KUKA Aktiengesellschaft (Midea Group), Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Rehab-Robotics Company Limited, ReWalk Robotics Ltd., Rex Bionics Ltd., Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, and Tyromotion GmbH, among many others.
Geographical Trends: High adoption of rehabilitation robots in major healthcare institutions and rehabilitation centers in North America is driving the region's growth. Moreover, Europe is at the forefront of developing advanced rehabilitation robots, including robotic exoskeletons, robotic therapy devices, and assistive robots. Apart from this, the Asia-Pacific region is experiencing significant growth and adoption of rehabilitation robots, driven by increasing healthcare investments, technological advancements, and a rising prevalence of chronic diseases.
Challenges and Opportunities: The high initial cost of rehabilitation robots, regulatory hurdles, and limitations in technology, such as robotic dexterity, adaptability to patient variability, and user interface complexity are hampering the market growth. However, rapid advancements in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and sensor technologies enhance the capabilities and effectiveness of rehabilitation robots, thereby adding to the industry's demand.
Aging Population
The aging population is significantly driving the growth of the rehabilitation robots market. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, the number of adults aged 60 and older outweighed children under the age of five. Between 2015 and 2050, the share of the world's population over 60 will nearly double, from 12% to 22%. With aging comes a higher incidence of chronic diseases such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders that impair mobility and independence. For instance, according to an article published by the World Health Organization (WHO), about 73% of people living with osteoarthritis are older than 55 years. Apart from this, there is a rising demand for assistive technologies that can improve the quality of life and independence of elderly individuals. Rehabilitation robots fit into this category by helping seniors regain mobility, strength, and functionality following injuries or surgeries. For instance, according to an article published by the National Library of Medicine, the motion rehabilitation robot is primarily designed for older people and can assist them with individualized physical activity routines while the patient is actively operating it. These robots can augment the patient's subjective recovery and other aspects of their rehabilitation treatment. These factors are further adding to the market demand.
Rising Prevalence of Epilepsy and Other Chronic Diseases
The increasing incidence of epilepsy and other chronic diseases is driving the demand for rehabilitation robots. As the incidence of chronic diseases such as epilepsy increases, so does the demand for rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation robots can assist in the physical therapy and recovery process for individuals affected by these conditions, helping them regain mobility, strength, and independence. For instance, in January 2023, HN Reliance Foundation Hospital (RFH) acquired a rehab robot called Lokomat - exoskeleton from Hocoma AG, which aids in precision physiotherapy. Robotic physiotherapy, when combined with manual therapy and other medical support, can help patients recover faster from trauma. Besides this, chronic diseases can place a significant burden on caregivers who assist with daily activities and rehabilitation exercises. Rehabilitation robots can serve as assistants in therapy sessions, reducing the physical strain on caregivers and ensuring consistent and effective therapy for patients. For instance, in April 2024, a team of Stony Brook University researchers planned to develop a Caregiving Robot Assistant (CART) for ALS patients and their caregivers to alleviate the many difficulties that accompany advancing ALS by using computer and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, mechanical engineering, and consultation by medical experts. These factors are further contributing to the rehabilitation market share.
Technological Advancements
Technological advancements are one of the significant factors driving the rehabilitation robot's market. These are wearable devices that support and enhance the movement of limbs. They assist individuals with mobility impairments due to stroke, spinal cord injury, or other neurological conditions. Advanced exoskeletons use sensors to detect movement intentions and provide assistance, accordingly, promoting natural movement patterns and reducing muscle fatigue. For instance, Rehab Technologies IIT - INAIL, the joint laboratory of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) and the Prosthetic Center of INAIL (the prosthetic unit of the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work), launched the new robotic exoskeleton for lower limbs, known as TWIN, which will make it easier for patients to wear. Besides this, AI algorithms are being integrated into rehabilitation robots to analyze data, adapt therapy protocols, and personalize treatment plans. Machine learning techniques enable robots to learn from patient interactions and adjust their assistance levels dynamically, optimizing rehabilitation outcomes. For instance, in July 2023, Fourier Intelligence, a Chinese technology startup focused on rehabilitative robotics and artificial intelligence, launched its first-generation humanoid robot at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The robot can interact with humans and perform a variety of actions and tasks thanks to the cognitive intelligence supplied by ChatGPT-like tools. These factors are further propelling the industry's growth.
