The knee-assist exosuit market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.7 billion in 2025 to $2.06 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing orthopedic patient population, technological innovations in robotics, rehabilitation center adoption, government funding for mobility aids, research in human biomechanics.
The knee-assist exosuit market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.33 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand in industrial exosuits, integration with AI & IoT, rising military applications, advanced lightweight materials, expansion in home rehabilitation devices. Major trends in the forecast period include wearable robotics adoption, rehabilitation automation, industrial worker support, mobility enhancement devices, military & defense exosuits.
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.

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.
The knee-assist exosuit market consists of sales of powered knee exosuits, pneumatic knee exosuits, and orthotic knee exosuits. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
