Increasing Technological Advancements and Rising Investments Acts as a trend of Medical Exoskeleton Market Growth
Globally, people strive for better health and do not compromise with low-quality products. Owing to this, continuous technological developments and innovations are being made in the healthcare industry to enhance healthcare services and improve the quality of care. Various global market players are attempting to acquire a larger market share by increasing investments in exoskeleton systems on a global level. For instance, Exoskeleton maker RoboCT Technology Development Co. completed a US$ 15.7 million (RMB 100 million) Series A+ financing round in April 2022. RoboCT (headquartered in Hangzhou, China) provides smart rehabilitation devices and robotic technology, coupled with data analysis and cloud computing, to medical rehabilitation institutes for addressing the needs of elderly people and disabled individuals. In addition, growing R&D activities by companies operating in the market are anticipated to accelerate the development of advanced systems in various application areas. The companies also hold their technology and intellectual property rights that help them retain their market share.
Medical exoskeletons are likely to grow dramatically due to increasing revolutionary technology, innovative products, and successful events. Thus, companies manufacturing exoskeleton systems are expected to add value and attract wide customer base. The increased adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things in developing intelligent exoskeleton systems is expected to complement the market growth. For instance, German Bionic has developed an AI-based exoskeleton system that has added a smart safety companion and a cloud-based platform for exoskeletons. Thus, the increasing technological advancements and rising investments are likely to catalyze the growth of the global medical exoskeleton market during the forecast period.
Based on component, the medical exoskeleton market is bifurcated into hardware and software. The hardware subsegment is divided into sensors, actuators, power sources, control systems, and others.
