Knee-Assist Exosuit Global Market Report 2025

The knee-assist exosuit market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.41 billion in 2024 to $1.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%. The growth during the historic period is attributed to the increasing prevalence of endometriosis, rising awareness of women's reproductive health, growing demand for non-invasive treatment options, expansion of mobile health applications, higher internet and smartphone penetration, increasing number of clinical studies on digital therapeutics, and rising healthcare expenditure on chronic gynecological conditions.

The knee-assist exosuit market size is expected to see exponentially growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.6 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.5%. The growth during the forecast period is attributed to the rising adoption of personalized digital health solutions, increasing focus on remote patient monitoring, growing demand for integrated patient-centric platforms, expansion of telehealth infrastructure, higher investment in digital therapeutics startups, growing government support for digital health initiatives, and increasing need for cost-effective endometriosis management solutions. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, innovations in wearable health devices, developments in patient engagement platforms, integration of real-time symptom tracking features, increased research and development in digital therapeutics, expansion of data-driven treatment algorithms, and the emergence of multi-functional therapeutic apps.

The rising incidence of musculoskeletal disorders is expected to drive the growth of the knee-assist exosuit market. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are conditions affecting muscles, bones, joints, or connective tissues, causing discomfort and limiting physical function. The increase in MSDs is linked to sedentary lifestyles, which weaken muscles and joints and increase strain from inactivity. Knee-assist exosuits help individuals with musculoskeletal disorders by reducing knee joint strain, supporting movement, and aiding rehabilitation to improve mobility and relieve pain. For example, in January 2024, GOV.UK reported that in 2023, 18.4% of individuals aged 16 and over in the UK had a long-term musculoskeletal condition, up from 17.6% in 2022. This rising prevalence is contributing to the growth of the knee-assist exosuit market.

Key companies in the knee-assist exosuit market are focusing on next-generation AI-enabled knee support technology to enhance mobility, reduce joint strain, and support rehabilitation for individuals with musculoskeletal disorders. Lightweight AI-powered knee exoskeletons are wearable robotic devices designed to support and enhance knee movement using artificial intelligence to adapt to the user’s gait and provide personalized assistance while remaining light and comfortable for extended use. For instance, in July 2025, Dnsys, a South Korea-based exoskeleton company, launched the Dnsys Z1, a wearable knee-assist device that boosts leg strength by 50% and reduces knee joint pressure by up to twice the user's body weight, making movement feel up to 44 lbs lighter. It features AI-powered adaptive assistance with millisecond response for natural, personalized support during walking, climbing, and other activities. Weighing only 1.5 lbs per leg, it is lightweight, weather-resistant, and extends endurance for outdoor activities and daily mobility.

In September 2024, Skip, a US-based technology company, partnered with Arc’teryx, a Canada-based apparel company, to develop powered wearable technology aimed at enhancing outdoor performance and overall user experience. This collaboration focuses on smart wearable solutions embedded in outdoor apparel to improve stamina, alleviate joint pain, and make hiking and daily mobility more convenient and accessible for individuals facing physical challenges or fatigue.

Major players in the knee-assist exosuit market are Lockheed Martin Corporation, Ottobock, Arc'teryx Equipment Inc., Lifeward Ltd., ReWalk Robotics Ltd., Fourier Intelligence Co. Ltd., Hypershell, Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc., Dnsys Z1 Knee Exoskeleton, ABLE Human Motion S.L., B-Temia Inc., DIH Medical, Gogoa Mobility Robots S.L., Human in Motion Robotics, Milebot Robotics Pvt. Ltd., MyoSwiss AG, REEV SAS, Roam Robotics Inc., Weston Robot Ltd., Cyberdyne Inc., and KAIST Exoskeleton Laboratory.

North America was the largest region in the knee-assist exosuit market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in knee-assist exosuit report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

This knee-assist exosuit market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

A knee-assist exosuit is a wearable robotic device designed to support, enhance, or aid knee movement during activities such as walking, standing, or rehabilitation. It provides mechanical assistance to reduce strain on the knee joint, improve mobility, and support rehabilitation for patients with weakened muscles, injuries, or mobility impairments.

The primary types of knee-assist exosuits include soft exosuits, rigid exosuits, and hybrid exosuits. Soft exosuits are flexible, lightweight devices designed to support and enhance natural body movements without rigid frames. Mobility types are categorized as active and passive, and these devices are distributed through direct sales, online retail, specialty stores, and other channels. End-users include hospitals and rehabilitation centers, homecare, industrial sectors, military and defense, and others.
