2024年,全球康復機器人市場規模達15.43億美元。展望未來,預計到2033年,該市場規模將達到68.091億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率(CAGR)為17.9%。人口老化加劇、殘疾人士人數增加、技術進步以及政府措施和資金投入是推動市場成長的主要動力。
人口老化
人口老化極大地推動了康復機器人市場的成長。例如,根據世界衛生組織 (WHO) 的數據,2020 年 60 歲及以上成年人的數量將超過 5 歲以下兒童的數量。 2015 年至 2050 年間,全球 60 歲以上人口的比例將幾乎加倍,從 12% 增加到 22%。隨著老化,中風、帕金森氏症、關節炎和其他損害行動能力和獨立性的肌肉骨骼疾病等慢性疾病的發生率也會上升。例如,根據世界衛生組織 (WHO) 發表的一篇文章,約 73% 的骨關節炎患者年齡超過 55 歲。此外,對能夠改善老年人生活品質和獨立性的輔助技術的需求也不斷成長。復健機器人就屬於這個類別,它可以幫助老年人在受傷或手術後恢復活動能力、力量和功能。例如,根據美國國家醫學圖書館發表的一篇文章,運動復健機器人主要針對老年人設計,可以在患者主動操作的同時,協助他們進行個人化的體能訓練。這些機器人可以增強患者的主觀復健效果,並促進復健治療的其他方面。這些因素進一步增加了市場需求。
癲癇和其他慢性疾病盛行率上升
癲癇和其他慢性疾病的發生率不斷上升,推動了對康復機器人的需求。隨著癲癇等慢性疾病發生率的上升,對復健服務的需求也隨之成長。復健機器人可以協助受這些疾病影響的患者進行物理治療和復原過程,幫助他們恢復活動能力、力量和獨立性。例如,2023年1月,HN Reliance Foundation Hospital (RFH) 從 Hocoma AG 購買了一台名為 Lokomat 的外骨骼復健機器人,用於輔助精準物理治療。機器人物理治療與手法治療和其他醫療支援相結合,可以幫助患者更快地從創傷中恢復。此外,慢性疾病會給協助日常活動和復健運動的照護者帶來沉重的負擔。復健機器人可以作為治療過程中的助手,減輕護理人員的身體負擔,並確保患者獲得持續有效的治療。例如,2024年4月,紐約州立大學石溪分校(Stony Brook University)的一個研究團隊計劃為肌萎縮側索硬化症(ALS)患者及其護理人員開發一款護理機器人助手(CART),利用電腦和人工智慧(AI)技術、機械工程以及醫學專家的諮詢,緩解ALS患者在病情發展過程中遇到的諸多困難。這些因素將進一步提升復健市場的佔有率。
技術進步
技術進步是推動復健機器人市場的重要因素之一。這些穿戴式裝置能夠支持和增強肢體的運動,幫助因中風、脊髓損傷或其他神經系統疾病而行動不便的個人。先進的外骨骼利用感測器來檢測運動意圖並提供輔助,從而促進自然的運動模式並減少肌肉疲勞。例如,義大利理工學院 (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia) 和義大利國家工傷保險研究所 (National Institute for Insurance against Damages at Work) 義肢中心 (Prosthetic Center of INAIL) 的聯合實驗室 Rehab Technologies IIT - INAIL 推出了一款名為 TWIN 的新型下肢機器人外骨骼,方便患者佩戴。此外,人工智慧演算法也被整合到復健機器人中,用於分析資料、調整治療方案並個人化治療計畫。機器學習技術使機器人能夠從與患者的互動中學習,並動態調整輔助水平,從而最佳化復健效果。例如,2023年7月,專注於復健機器人和人工智慧的中國科技新創公司傅氏智慧在上海世界人工智慧大會上發布了其第一代人形機器人。由於類似ChatGPT的工具所提供的認知智慧,該機器人可以與人類互動,並執行各種動作和任務。這些因素進一步推動了該行業的成長。
The global rehabilitation robots market size reached USD 1,543 Million in 2024. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach USD 6,809.1 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9% during 2025-2033. The increasing aging population, rising prevalence of disabilities, technological advancements, and government initiatives and funds are primarily driving the market growth.
Aging Population
The aging population is significantly driving the growth of the rehabilitation robots market. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, the number of adults aged 60 and older outweighed children under the age of five. Between 2015 and 2050, the share of the world's population over 60 will nearly double, from 12% to 22%. With aging comes a higher incidence of chronic diseases such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders that impair mobility and independence. For instance, according to an article published by the World Health Organization (WHO), about 73% of people living with osteoarthritis are older than 55 years. Apart from this, there is a rising demand for assistive technologies that can improve the quality of life and independence of elderly individuals. Rehabilitation robots fit into this category by helping seniors regain mobility, strength, and functionality following injuries or surgeries. For instance, according to an article published by the National Library of Medicine, the motion rehabilitation robot is primarily designed for older people and can assist them with individualized physical activity routines while the patient is actively operating it. These robots can augment the patient's subjective recovery and other aspects of their rehabilitation treatment. These factors are further adding to the market demand.
Rising Prevalence of Epilepsy and Other Chronic Diseases
The increasing incidence of epilepsy and other chronic diseases is driving the demand for rehabilitation robots. As the incidence of chronic diseases such as epilepsy increases, so does the demand for rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation robots can assist in the physical therapy and recovery process for individuals affected by these conditions, helping them regain mobility, strength, and independence. For instance, in January 2023, HN Reliance Foundation Hospital (RFH) acquired a rehab robot called Lokomat - exoskeleton from Hocoma AG, which aids in precision physiotherapy. Robotic physiotherapy, when combined with manual therapy and other medical support, can help patients recover faster from trauma. Besides this, chronic diseases can place a significant burden on caregivers who assist with daily activities and rehabilitation exercises. Rehabilitation robots can serve as assistants in therapy sessions, reducing the physical strain on caregivers and ensuring consistent and effective therapy for patients. For instance, in April 2024, a team of Stony Brook University researchers planned to develop a Caregiving Robot Assistant (CART) for ALS patients and their caregivers to alleviate the many difficulties that accompany advancing ALS by using computer and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, mechanical engineering, and consultation by medical experts. These factors are further contributing to the rehabilitation market share.
Technological Advancements
Technological advancements are one of the significant factors driving the rehabilitation robot's market. These are wearable devices that support and enhance the movement of limbs. They assist individuals with mobility impairments due to stroke, spinal cord injury, or other neurological conditions. Advanced exoskeletons use sensors to detect movement intentions and provide assistance, accordingly, promoting natural movement patterns and reducing muscle fatigue. For instance, Rehab Technologies IIT - INAIL, the joint laboratory of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) and the Prosthetic Center of INAIL (the prosthetic unit of the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work), launched the new robotic exoskeleton for lower limbs, known as TWIN, which will make it easier for patients to wear. Besides this, AI algorithms are being integrated into rehabilitation robots to analyze data, adapt therapy protocols, and personalize treatment plans. Machine learning techniques enable robots to learn from patient interactions and adjust their assistance levels dynamically, optimizing rehabilitation outcomes. For instance, in July 2023, Fourier Intelligence, a Chinese technology startup focused on rehabilitative robotics and artificial intelligence, launched its first-generation humanoid robot at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The robot can interact with humans and perform a variety of actions and tasks thanks to the cognitive intelligence supplied by ChatGPT-like tools. These factors are further propelling the industry's growth.
According to the rehabilitation market overview, therapeutic robots are designed to assist in delivering therapeutic interventions and rehabilitation exercises to patients. They often incorporate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensors, and interactive interfaces to tailor treatment plans and monitor patient progress. Moreover, exoskeleton robots are wearable devices that augment human capabilities, particularly in mobility assistance and physical rehabilitation. They provide powered support to assist or enhance the movement of limbs, enabling individuals with mobility impairments to perform activities of daily living more independently. Besides this, assistive robots are designed to assist individuals with disabilities or age-related impairments in performing daily activities and improving their quality of life. They range from simple task-specific robots to more complex systems capable of autonomous navigation and interaction.
As the global population ages, there is an increasing prevalence of chronic conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and orthopedic issues. Rehabilitation robots are crucial in providing intensive and effective therapy to help adults regain mobility, independence, and improve quality of life. While early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delays, cerebral palsy, and neuromuscular disorders. Rehabilitation robots provide structured and engaging therapies that promote motor development, cognitive skills, and social interaction from a young age.
Rehabilitation centers utilize therapeutic robots for intensive and repetitive therapy sessions tailored to individual patient needs. These robots assist in exercises that improve motor function, range of motion, and strength following injuries or surgeries. Patients undergoing rehabilitation for neurological conditions or orthopedic injuries benefit from robot-assisted gait training devices. These systems support walking rehabilitation by providing adjustable levels of assistance and feedback to improve gait patterns and balance. While hospitals use rehabilitation robots to support recovery after joint replacements, fractures, and orthopedic surgeries. These robots facilitate early mobilization, reduce complications, and improve patient outcomes by delivering targeted exercises and monitoring progress.
