Elder Care Assistive Robots Market Report 2026

The elder care assistive robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.48 billion in 2025 to $4.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population growth, rising demand for independent living solutions, increasing healthcare workforce shortages, early adoption of robotic assistance in care facilities, advancements in sensor and robotics technologies.

The elder care assistive robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in digital healthcare solutions, rising demand for personalized elder care, expansion of home-based healthcare models, growing acceptance of robotics among elderly users, continuous improvements in AI-driven caregiving systems. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of ai-driven health monitoring capabilities, increasing deployment of socially assistive robots, rising integration of remote care and telehealth features, growing adoption of mobile assistive robots, enhanced focus on human-robot interaction.

The growing elderly population is expected to drive the growth of the programmable elder care assistive robot market in the coming years. The elderly population comprises individuals aged 65 and above, representing those in the later stages of life. Advances in healthcare have increased life expectancy, contributing to the rise in this demographic. Assistive robots help elderly individuals by supporting daily activities, monitoring health, and enhancing overall well-being. For example, in October 2025, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based health agency, reported that by 2030, one in six people worldwide will be aged 60 or older, and by 2050, the global population of individuals aged 60 and above will double to 2.1 billion. Therefore, the increasing elderly population is propelling the growth of the elder care assistive robot market.

Leading companies in the elder care assistive robot sector are focusing on developing sophisticated solutions, such as AI companion robots, to improve care for the elderly. AI companion robots are robotic systems that utilize artificial intelligence to interact with and assist individuals in various ways. For instance, in January 2024, Intuition Robotics, an Israel-based digital companion technology developer, introduced ElliQ 3. This robot features advanced generative AI for natural conversations, contextual memory for personalized interactions, improved hardware for enhanced performance, safety mechanisms for monitored conversations, and creative activities to support cognitive health and social connections. The ElliQ 3's hardware is designed for scalability, allowing Intuition Robotics to expand production and meet growing demand. Its innovative use of generative AI, driven by advanced Large Language Model (LLM) technology, enriches its interactions with older adults.

In August 2023, the New York City Department for the Aging, a US-based government agency, collaborated with Intuition Robotics Ltd. This partnership aims to extend the ElliQ AI companion program to assist more older adults across New York State, utilizing state budgets and a shared goal of addressing senior social isolation. Intuition Robotics Ltd., an Israel-based company, specializes in elder care assistive robots.
