Rehabilitation robotics is a specialized field of robotics dedicated to the development of robots designed to assist individuals in recovering from physical trauma. These automated machines are tailored to enhance the movement of individuals with impaired physical functioning, supporting them in their rehabilitation journey.
The primary types of rehabilitation robotics include exoskeleton robots, therapeutic robots, assistive robots, and prosthetic robots. Exoskeleton robots serve as augmentative devices to improve the physical performance of the body. These mechanical structures, known as exoskeletons, can be worn by humans to enhance strength and endurance. Rehabilitation robotics caters to different patient types, including adults and pediatric patients, focusing on both lower extremity and upper extremity applications. The various applications of rehabilitation robotics include gait therapy and limb mobility, with end-users such as rehabilitation centers and hospitals employing these technologies.
The rehabilitation robotics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides rehabilitation robotics market statistics, including rehabilitation robotics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a rehabilitation robotics market share, detailed rehabilitation robotics market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the rehabilitation robotics industry. This rehabilitation robotics 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.
The rehabilitation robotics market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2024 to $1.82 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in rehabilitation and physical therapy services, demand for precision and targeted therapy, expansion of aging populations and chronic conditions, development of advanced robotic rehabilitation devices, regulatory standards for medical device safety.
The rehabilitation robotics market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to customized rehabilitation robotics for specific patient needs, integration of ai and machine learning in rehabilitation, sustainable and cost-effective rehabilitation robotics, expansion in tele-rehabilitation and remote monitoring, adoption of rehabilitation robotics in sports medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include regulatory compliance in rehabilitation robotics safety, smart and adaptive robotic rehabilitation solutions, personalized rehabilitation programs and progress tracking, transparency in rehabilitation robotics data and outcomes, integration of virtual reality and gamification in therapy.
The rehabilitation robotics market is anticipated to experience growth during the forecast period due to the increasing incidence of strokes, injuries, and neurological diseases. Globally, in 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 50 million people were affected by epilepsy, with nearly 80% of them residing in low and middle-income countries. Consequently, the demand for rehabilitation devices, including rehabilitation robots, is expected to rise in response to the growing instances of strokes and neurological diseases.
The growth of the rehabilitation robotics market is further expected to be boosted by the increasing geriatric population. The geriatric population, typically aged 65 and older, is more prone to age-related health conditions such as strokes, Parkinson's disease, and osteoarthritis. Rehabilitation robotics can play a vital role in aiding older adults to recover and regain mobility and independence following such health events. In 2021, the World Trade Organization reported that the population aged 60 and above had increased to 1.4 billion, with a projection that by 2050, the global population of adults aged 60 and above will double to 2.1 billion. Thus, the rising geriatric population is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the rehabilitation robotics market.
A noteworthy trend in the rehabilitation robotics market is the rapid adoption of assistive robotics for more efficient and faster treatment. The medical field is witnessing an increasing adoption of assistive robots to enhance the speed and effectiveness of the treatment process. Companies are actively investing in new product development to meet the rising demand for such innovative solutions. For example, Labrador Systems, Inc., introduced the Labrador Retriever in January 2022, an assistive robot designed to help individuals live more independently by providing hands-on assistance with daily tasks, particularly beneficial for those impacted by chronic pain, injuries, or medical conditions.
Major companies in the rehabilitation robotics market are investing in and expanding their reach to the public through robotic-assisted neurorehabilitation centers. These are specialized medical facilities that use advanced robotic technology to aid individuals in their neurorehabilitation and recovery processes. For example, in May 2024, Amrita Hospitals, an India-based hospital, launched a robotic gait trainer system. This device is transforming the rehabilitation process for individuals recovering from brain and spinal injuries, helping them walk longer and with greater independence.
In August 2023, ReWalk Robotics, a medical device company based in the United States, acquired AlterG for $19 million. This acquisition aims to broaden patient access to innovative rehabilitation technologies for use in clinics and at home. AlterG is a manufacturer of mobility enhancement products for use in physical and neurological rehabilitation, aligning with ReWalk Robotics' commitment to advancing rehabilitation solutions.
