Exoskeleton Robots - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics

Global Exoskeleton Robots Market to Reach $2.1 Billion by 2026

Robotic exoskeletons are wearable ambulatory machines that rely on mechanical structures, rotors, levers and hydraulics to move stiff body parts and help users in performing routine tasks with high endurance and strength. These external skeletons use artificial intelligence and sensors to detect bio-neurotic signals from the brain and trigger the frame to move in line with specific instructions like sitting, standing or lifting an object. Growth in the global market is being driven by increasing applications across diverse industries, rising geriatric population, technological innovations and broader scope in the military and healthcare sectors. These suits are anticipated to find extensive adoption in healthcare applications and benefit from increasing number of rehabilitation centers. Against the backdrop of strict social distancing measures and travel restrictions to curb spread of the coronavirus, the combination of worker shortage and exponential growth of the e-commerce sector has created a strong demand for advanced tools across diverse industries to boost productivity while ensuring worker safety. The requirement has played an important role in driving the adoption of powered, full-body exoskeletons for production units, construction sites and other complex environments.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Exoskeleton Robots estimated at US$647.1 Million in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$2.1 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 21.2% over the analysis period.
