The global exoskeleton market has been witnessing a significant growth in the recent years. An exoskeleton is a wearable robotic system that works in association with human body to enhance its strength, endurance, and mobility. The rising geriatric population suffering from disabilities and the increasing number of people suffering from neurological disorders are some of the key factors driving the demand for exoskeletons. Additionally, factors such as the development of lightweight and flexible exoskeletons for industrial and military use are also boosting the growth of this market. However, high costs associated with exoskeletons and lack of skilled professionals are hindering the wide adoption. But with ongoing technological advancements, exoskeletons are getting cheaper and more efficient which is expected to provide numerous growth opportunities in the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
The global exoskeleton market is experiencing a rapid growth owing to several factors such as increasing incidences of road accidents worldwide causing severe injuries, growing obese and geriatric population suffering from mobility issues, and rising awareness regarding benefits of exoskeletons in rehabilitation therapy. However, high equipment and maintenance costs of exoskeletons are limiting their widespread adoption. Moreover, lack of skilled professionals for operating exoskeletons and inaccessibility in remote areas are also challenging the market growth. Meanwhile, ongoing technological advancements in material science, artificial intelligence, and power sources are leading to development of lighter, softwearable exoskeletons. This is creating new opportunities in various end-use industries like healthcare, defense, and industrial sectors. Development of affordable lower limb exoskeletons suitable for home settings will further aid the market expansion during the forecast period.
