The global Nanorobotics in Medicine market size was estimated at USD 4.9 billion in 2021 and is expected to surpass around USD 12.10 billion by 2030 and poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.
Nanorobots are machines made of nanoscale components. They generally measure 50100 nm in size and can be controlled at the nanometer or molecular scale. These devices are used for drug delivery, which is a critical aspect of medical treatment. Nanorobots can also perform precise and refined intracellular surgery. They can conduct various tasks such as actuating, sensing, signaling, information processing, and intelligence at the nanoscale level. Nanobots in medicine offer several opportunities such as artificial antibodies, artificial WBCs and RBCs, and antiviral nanobots.

Rise in Demand for Targeted Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment Fueling Nanorobotics in Medicine Market Size
Nanobot medical technology can be guided to deliver a variety of payloads. In targeted drug delivery, nanorobots release a therapeutic payload after reaching a specific location in the body. Targeted drug delivery is used to release various types of loads such as enzymes, vaccines, drugs, and antigens in the body for the effective treatment of various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. It is widely used in cancer therapy to achieve excellent results.
Several research institutions involved in the nanorobotics systems market are using nanorobots to successfully deliver targeted drugs for cancer treatment. In January 2020, researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology created drug-coated iron nanowires (nanorobots). An iron oxide shell surrounds the iron core of iron-based nanowires. A magnetic field from outside is used to direct these drug-coated iron nanowires to the tumor's location. The anticancer drug, doxorubicin is released at the target site through a three-step cancer-killing mechanism, providing an effective option for cancer therapy.
Increase in Research and Development of Molecular Nanorobots
Molecular nanorobots are molecules that have been synthetically engineered. Researchers are developing molecular robots for use in the healthcare industry to perform diverse functions, including the collection of bacteria and tissue samples. This reduces tissue damage during minimally invasive surgery and improves diagnostics. Nanorobotics Tech, an Israel-based startup, has designed and demonstrated a new class of light-activated, unidirectional molecular nanomachines that can penetrate biological membranes by interacting with the lipid bilayer and focusing on specific elements of the cell surface.
Rise in Application of Nanomanipulators in R&D of Microchips and Microbiological Systems
Based on product type, the global nanorobotics in medicine market has been segmented into nanomanipulator, bio-nanorobotics, magnetically guided, and bacteria-based. The nanomanipulator segment is projected to dominate the market, accounting for more than 55% share of the market by the end of 2030. Nanomanipulators are capable of nanoscale positioning resolution and are used to produce precise structures. They are more capable than industrial manipulators. Nanomanipulators are among the first commercially available nanorobotics systems and are primarily used to manipulate atoms and molecules in nanorobot medicine. They are currently used in the development of transmission electron microscopy probes, carbon nanotubes, microchips, microbiological systems, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
Increase in Development of Nanorobotics Medicine-based Drug Delivery Systems
In terms of application, the global nanorobotics in medicine market has been classified into nanomedicine, biomedical, drug delivery, medical imaging, and others. The nanomedicine segment is projected to dominate the market, accounting for more than 40% share of the market by the end of 2031. Rise in the development of drug delivery systems based on nanotechnology is driving the segment. Nanomedicine applications include vaccine development, drug delivery, wearable devices, diagnostic and imaging tools, and antibacterial agents. Nanomedicine is expected to facilitate the early detection of a wide range of diseases, thereby leading to the development of more effective drugs and improved devices.
Regional Outlook of Global Nanorobotics in Medicine Market
According to the recent nanorobotics in medicine market forecast, North America dominated the global market in 2021, and it is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Increase in funding for R&D in nanorobotics and rise in awareness regarding nanorobots in surgical care are driving the market in the region.
Europe is expected to record the second-largest share of the global market during the forecast period. Growth of the market in the region can be ascribed to increase in investments in the healthcare industry and rise in presence of research laboratories in many European countries such as Germany, France, and the U.K. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, due to increase in investment for R&D in and expansion of the healthcare sector.
