Report Description
The global assistive robotics market size was USD XX Mn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Mn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. The market growth is characterized by the rising geriatric population and insurance coverage provided by insurance companies for assistive robotics systems.
According to World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 16% % of the world’s population is disabled. Disabled people need assistance to perform daily chores and live a quality life. Assistive robotics systems are designed to assist disabled people and older adults in their daily activities.
The assistive robotics systems have extinguished sensory and perception abilities that help them to provide fulfilling and independent living for disabled and geriatric populations. The assistive robots process the information received through sensors and act on the information with the help of intelligent algorithms to address the health inequities faced by the geriatric population and disabled individuals.
The cognitive abilities of rehabilitation robots, socially assistive robots, and healthcare assistive robots enable them to interact directly with humans to provide correct assistance to the users. Assistive robotics technologies have evolved through human-centered design methodologies with integrated embedded and micro-mechatronic systems.
Rehabilitation robots gather information about motor performance such as interaction force, position, and trajectory during movements. These aspects are helpful to recover the motor capabilities of an individual with complications such as spinal cord injuries and strokes through rehabilitation robotics technologies. The recent technological advancements in rehabilitation robotics technologies use brain imaging to improve neuro-motors functions and motor capabilities qualitatively. The assistive robots are programable and flexible to provide efficient and organized assistance and care to the users.
The emergence of wearable robots has provided reliable, safe, and intelligent assistance to humans by substituting or restoring lost or weak limbs. Wearable robots use technological advances such as machine learning, data fusion, actuation systems, robotic architectures, and multimodal wearable sensors. The use of robotics in healthcare plays a major role in providing timely support to patients and reducing healthcare costs by reducing hospitalizations.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic created potential growth opportunities for the assistive robotics market. During the pandemic period, the geriatric and disabled population were deprived of humanitarian assistance due to lockdown measures. This led to the rising acceptance of assistive robotics in society. Furthermore, assistive robotics helped in non-contact treatments and surgeries during the pandemic period, and the trend has continued since then.
Assistive Robotics Market Dynamics
Drivers
Rising acceptance of assistive robotics by the disabled and older population is anticipated to drive the market. Individuals suffering from spinal cord injuries and strokes prefer assistive robotics systems as it compensates for lost functions due to weak or displaced limbs. Assistive robotics offers assistance to the geriatric population with the help of sensing technology and machine-learning methods with improved operational efficiency, safety, and adaptability.
Restraints
Stringent regulations and subsequent compliance with the various certifications and standards set by policymakers are likely to hinder the market. Assistive robotics sector deals with the geriatric and disabled populations that are most susceptible to volatility in the environment. Policymakers ensure that assistive robotics systems provide services to users precisely and consistently. The assistive robotics systems pass through multiple quality checks for quality assurance.
Opportunities
Technological advancements in assistive robotics and market expansion in untapped economies are likely to create significant opportunities for the market. Technological advances such as intelligent actuation systems, data fusion, and machine learning technologies are improving robotic architectures to provide reliable, safe, and intelligent assistive robotic systems to users.
