Robotic prosthetics are artificial limbs or prostheses designed to replace a missing body part that may have been lost due to trauma, disease, or congenital disability. They are designed to work along with human brain signals and incorporate robotics, electronics and materials science to replicate the functionality and appearance of natural limbs as closely as possible.
The main product types of robotic prosthetics are prosthetic arms, prosthetic knees, prosthetic feet or ankles, prosthetic hands and others. A prosthetic arm refers to an artificial device that replaces a missing arm, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or a condition present at birth. The various technology includes microprocessor-controlled prosthetics and myoelectric prosthetics with various extremities such as lower-body prosthetics and upper-body prosthetics. These are used by various end-users such as hospitals, specialty clinics and others.

This robotic prosthetics 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 robotic prosthetics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2024 to $1.89 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to prevalence of chronic diseases, growing geriatric population, growing amputee population, government initiatives.
The robotic prosthetics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in funding for medical robot research, rise in traumatic injuries, growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly prosthetics, awareness about prosthetic solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include advances in material science and technology, wearable technology integration, advancements in prosthetic technology, sensory feedback systems, advancements in neuroprosthetics.
The increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases is set to drive the expansion of the robotic prosthetics market in the foreseeable future. Orthopedic diseases encompass a range of conditions and ailments affecting the musculoskeletal system, which comprises muscles, bones, nerves, and joints. Within the realm of orthopedics, robotic prosthetics play a vital role, offering crucial applications in the treatment and correction of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. These applications include limb replacement, gait rehabilitation, and the advancement of precision in orthopedic surgical procedures. For instance, as of July 2022, data from the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations agency headquartered in Switzerland responsible for global public health, revealed that approximately 1.71 billion individuals worldwide are affected by musculoskeletal conditions. These conditions encompass a range of issues such as low back pain, neck pain, fractures, other injuries, osteoarthritis, amputation, and rheumatoid arthritis. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases is a driving force behind the growth of the robotic prosthetics market.
Increasing rates of amputations are anticipated to drive the growth of the robotic prosthetics market in the coming years. Amputation is a surgical procedure involving the removal of part or the entire limb or extremity from the body. The growing frequency of amputations is a significant factor fueling the development and adoption of robotic prosthetics. As the number of amputations rises, there is an increasing demand for robotic prosthetic solutions. For example, a study published in the JAMA Network Open Medical Journal by the American Medical Association in March 2022 reported a noticeable increase in amputation rates, with an annual rise from 13.5 per 100,000 population to 14.8 per 100,000 population, marking an increase of 9% to 16% after the expansion. As a result, the upward trend in amputation rates is poised to stimulate market growth in the robotic prosthetics sector.
The elevated expenses associated with prosthetics have the potential to negatively impact the expansion of the robotic prosthetics market. Robotic prosthetics are artificial limbs or body parts crafted to replace or enhance the function of natural limbs or organs that are missing or damaged. The cost of robotic prosthetics is typically higher compared to traditional prosthetics due to the utilization of advanced technology and materials in their fabrication. For example, in November 2022, Orthotic Prosthetic Center Inc., a prosthetic provider based in the United States, reported that a basic prosthetic leg can be priced at less than $10,000 for uninsured patients, while a computerized prosthetic leg that can be controlled through muscle movements may cost $70,000 or more. As a result, the high expenses associated with prosthetics act as a barrier to the growth of the robotic prosthetics market.
Leading companies in the robotic prosthetics market are making strides by introducing innovative implant systems as part of their strategy to solidify their position in the industry. An implant system in the medical context serves the purpose of replacing a missing joint or bone or providing support to a compromised bone. For example, in April 2023, Integrum, a Sweden-based medical equipment manufacturer, received regulatory approval for its OPRA Implant System in Australia. The OPRA Implant System represents a groundbreaking bone-anchored prosthesis that employs osseointegration to establish a direct connection between the prosthesis and the human body. This innovative approach enables the seamless attachment of an artificial limb directly to the skeleton. Furthermore, the patent coverage of this product extends beyond its application in transfemoral scenarios to encompass a broader range of long bone prosthetic applications, including those involving the upper arm or lower leg.
In December 2022, Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc., a US-based leader in exoskeleton technology for both medical and industrial applications, acquired the Human Motion and Control Business Unit from Parker Hannifin Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to broaden Ekso's product offerings, extending its reach into home and community use markets, enhance its product pipeline, and strengthen relationships with key commercial and research partners, including Vanderbilt University. The Human Motion and Control Business Unit, part of Parker Hannifin Corporation, is a US-based company that specializes in manufacturing motion and control technologies for various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, with a focus on hydraulics, pneumatics, filtration, and automation.
