The global medical telepresence robots market accounted for USD 68.3 million in 2023 and is expected to reach at USD 437.1 million by 2034 with a CAGR of 18.37% during the forecast period 2024-2034. Increase in the utilization of telepresence robots within the healthcare sector, rise in investment in healthcare, growing prevalence of chronic diseases, surge in elderly population, increasing government initiatives supporting these trends, rising research & development in artificial intelligence & robotics within healthcare, growing adoption of robots within healthcare facilities, and surge in the launch of advanced medical telepresence robots are some of the key factors boosting the market growth.
Surge in the launch of advanced medical telepresence robots is predicted to boost the market growth during the forecast period. A medical telepresence robot is a wheeled device controlled remotely and equipped with wireless internet connectivity, commonly utilized in the healthcare sector. This robot aids individuals at a distant location by offering an immediate virtual presence. Users can observe and hear in real-time what the robot perceives and hears. For instance, in March 2022, The Dallas Cowboys have unveiled Cowboys Starbot, an innovative telepresence robot. Through this robot, players, cheerleaders, alumni, administrators, and other team members can virtually visit patients in a unique and secure manner. By incorporating video conferencing technologies into a remote-controlled platform, the robot provides a solid framework for virtual interactions.
By type, mobile was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global medical telepresence robots market in 2023 owing to the features such as obstacle detection, adjustable height, self-guided navigation, and head movement contribute to the effective and seamless provision of services and remote monitoring, enhancing teleconsultation. The growing emphasis from governments on extending healthcare services to remote areas and the continuous introduction of advanced devices by market participants are additional factors driving market expansion. For instance, in November 2023, Carobot Technologies introduced two mobile robots: Ubot for telepresence and Aryan for educational purposes. Ubot offers remote users a mixed reality experience within a client's environment via a secure web application. Aryan, an industrial-grade open platform mobile robot, is designed for learners to program for navigation, mapping, and control, serving educational, training, and consultancy needs. Additionally, stationary is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. In terms of cost, stationary robots are generally more affordable than mobile robots. This cost difference may contribute to an increase in the adoption of stationary telepresence robots.
By component, camera was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global medical telepresence robots market in 2023 owing to the essential components of telepresence robots include the display, microphone, camera, & speaker, which facilitate two-way virtual communication. The smooth functioning of telepresence robots relies on the proper operation of these technical components. Features such as visualization and clarity are enhanced by components such as the camera and display, improving remote communication experiences. These robots are self-monitored and incorporate motorized stands connected to the monitor. Additionally, sensors & control systems is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising technological advancements, increased investment in research & development of IoT & artificial intelligence, and growing number of new technology launches. For instance, in October 2023, Ava Robotics introduced the Ava Teleport app on the Webex App Hub, enabling users to virtually transport themselves to a distant location utilizing an Ava telepresence robot.
By end-user, hospitals & assisted living facilities was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global medical telepresence robots market in 2023 owing to the expanding healthcare infrastructure, increased deployment of sophisticated telepresence robots in hospital environments, enabling effective two-way communication & remote monitoring for teleconsultation, rise in government initiatives aimed at extending healthcare services to remote areas, and surge in adoption of advanced telepresence technologies. For instance, in January 2024, ASCEND Cardiovascular's latest innovation, Catalyst LIVE, is currently being utilized at two leading hospital locations. Since 2022, pilot programs have been ongoing at Stanford Medicine Children's Health in California and Cook County Health in Illinois. The success of Catalyst LIVE has led to its expansion into other departments and campuses at these pilot sites, granting their teams access to cutting-edge technology. This advancement enables more patients to receive expert insights and make timely decisions. Additionally, home use is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing elderly population, growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and growing need for advanced telepresence robots for regular monitoring.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the swift uptake of robotics & artificial intelligence within healthcare, rising aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and growing collaboration among market participants. For instance, in March 2024, Mendaera Inc. has revealed its acquisition of Avail Medsystems, Inc.'s telepresence technology. Leveraging its augmented portfolio, Mendaera aims to enhance patient accessibility to top-tier interventions, simplifying healthcare delivery within systems facing workforce shortages and burnout challenges. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing government initiatives toward robotics & AI, growing adoption of robotics in healthcare departments, and surge in the introduction of new technologies. For instance, in January 2022, Intuitive India introduced Intuitive Telepresence (ITP), a remote observation technology designed for surgical cases. ITP utilizes its exclusive technology enabling live video and audio communication between the operating surgeon and remote observer. This HIPAA-compliant technology provides a secure platform for remote learning on the da Vinci Robotic platform.
