Robotic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Market (Type: Assistive Robots and Rehabilitation Robots; and Portability: Standalone & Mobile)- Global Industry Analysis, Share, Growth, Regional Outlook and Forecasts, 2022-2030

According to Nova one advisor, the global Robotic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies market was valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2021 and it is expected to hit around USD 5.45 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.9% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.

Rehabilitation robots or assistive robots perform a physical task for the well-being of a person with a disability. The global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market is driven by the increase in geriatric population and rise in per capita health care expenditure. Applications of rehabilitation and assistive robotic technologies are growing fast. For example, the McGill University has developed a robot that helps wheelchair-bound patients stand and walk. It supports gait training and neuro-rehabilitation. The global market is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to the surge in adoption of rehabilitation and assistive robotics during the COVID-19 pandemic. The assistive and rehabilitation robotics market offers significant opportunities for robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies manufacturers. Innovations in rehabilitation and assistive robotics technologies landscape have led to the development of robotic exoskeleton suits that are enabling paraplegic patients to eliminate the need for wheelchairs.

Rise in Prevalence of CVDs and Long-term Disabilities to Drive Demand for Robotic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Products

Rise in prevalence of chronic diseases has increased the patient pool undergoing interventional procedures followed by rehabilitation therapies globally, resulting in high demand for rehabilitation robotics technologies. Changing lifestyles, rapidly aging population, and hypertension contribute to the rise in prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the U.S. Growth in prevalence of stroke across the world has led to an increase in need for rehabilitation and assistive robotics technologies. Surge in the number of stroke patients has increased rehabilitation, leading to the growth of the robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market.

According to the Internet Stroke Center, around 795,000 people suffer from stroke in the U.S. every year. As per the World Health Organization, 15 million people suffer from stroke globally each year; of these, 5 million are permanently disabled. Rise in prevalence of neuromotor and orthopedic disorders such as cerebral palsy, rheumatoid arthritis, and spinal cord injury globally is driving the demand for assistive robotic technologies, thereby propelling the rehabilitation and assistive technologies market. According to CDC, around 54.4 million U.S. adults suffered from arthritis in 2017. Rapid increase in percentage of amputees and permanent or temporary impairment across the world is expected to boost the demand for robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies. This, in turn, is likely to drive sales of rehabilitation and assistive robotic technology products during the forecast period. Currently, around 15% of the world's population, or roughly 1 billion people, live with a disability.

Intensive Research and Technological Developments in Assistive Robots to Fuel Market

In terms of type, the global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market has been bifurcated into assistive robot and rehabilitation robot. The assistive robot segment held more than 55% share of the global market in 2021. The segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The assistive robot segment is likely to advance at a CAGR of more than 12% between 2022 and 2031. Increase in intensive research in assistive robots and technological developments in design, efficiency, and safety of these systems are anticipated to propel the segment in the near future.

Favorable Reimbursement Policies and Efficiency of System in Patient Rehabilitation to Bolster Standalone Segment

Based on portability, the global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market has been classified into standalone and mobile. The standalone segment is projected to account for dominant share of the global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market from 2022 to 2031. The segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of more than 11% during the forecast period. Increase in incidence of disability and rise in technological advancements such as stereotactic technology are the major factors driving the standalone segment. Additionally, favorable reimbursement policies, efficiency of the system in rehabilitation of patients, and technological advancements are the key factors expected to drive the segment during the forecast period.

Growth in Post-surgery Applications of Robotic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies to Augment Market

In terms of application, the global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market has been segregated into post-surgery, cognitive & motor skill therapy, and others. The post-surgery segment dominated the global market, with more than 50% share in 2021. This can be primarily ascribed to the rise in number of different types of surgeries across the globe. Increase in need for rehabilitation and assistive robotics technologies in post-surgical applications is also driving the demand for these products. Rise in geriatric population, growth in prevalence of orthopedic disorders, and increase in awareness about surgical treatments are the factors boosting the demand for assistive robotic technologies, thereby propelling the rehabilitation and assistive technologies market.

Regional Outlook of Global Robotic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Market

North America dominated the global robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market, with more than 45.9% share in 2021. Increase in incidence rate of chronic diseases and a well-established health care sector are anticipated to drive the robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market in the region during the forecast period. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a faster CAGR of 13.8% during the forecast period. High health care expenditure, early adoption of rehabilitation procedures, and developed healthcare sector are likely to drive the robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies market in the region during the forecast period.
