Adoption of the exoskeleton in the healthcare sector for robotic rehabilitation is driving the growth of the global Exoskeleton market.

• Robotic rehabilitation means designing wearable robotic exoskeletons to improve movement in persons with impaired physical functioning. According to the Rehabilitation Council of India, a government body that regulates training programs and courses targeted at the disabled, and special education requirement communities, stated that for every 1 billion of the population the spinal cord injury rate is between 1.85% to 2.19% out of which 75% are from rural areas.

The High Cost of exoskeletons is one of the Major challenges hindering the growth of the global exoskeleton market.

• Due to rapid advancements in exoskeleton technology, i.e. providing better efficiency and high payload the cost of exoskeletons rise significantly.
• Furthermore, the average cost of an Exoskeleton in the healthcare sector varies from US$ 77,000 to US$ 100,000.

The COVID-19 pandemic slowed the growth of the Global Exoskeleton Market, owing to the shutdown of production activities in various industrial areas including Robotic Exoskeleton manufacturing units. As a result, production showed a decline in the Global Exoskeleton market.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Technology:  The Power segment by technology held the largest market share in 2021 of the Global Exoskeleton Market.

• The growth is primarily due to the rise in implementation of powered exoskeleton solutions in multiple industries such as military and industrial sectors, which enhance safety and increase the productivity of the user.
• The Power technology provides better motion of working and easy lifting decreasing the strain on the user of the exoskeleton, thus significantly increasing in the productivity and strength of the users.

By Mobility: The Mobile segment held the largest market share in 2021, and is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.

• The growth is primarily due to an increase in demand for mobile robots, as mobile robots are able to perform tasks like material handling, transporting, and picking & placing very easily.
• Furthermore, many companies are now focusing on developing mobile exoskeletons with better features, that would put less strain on the user, reducing the risk of injuries, and enhance productivity.

By Body Type: The Lower Body segment accounted for the largest market share in the Body Type segment in 2021.

• Rise in lower body disabilities and the adoption of exoskeletons by paralyzing or old populations is likely to drive the lower body segment in the global exoskeleton market.
• The lower body exoskeletons are also used in defense for increasing the speed of soldiers that helping them to carry heavy equipment such as ammunition and guns for a longer duration.

By End-User: The Healthcare segment accounted for the largest market share in the End-User segment in 2021.

• The growth is primarily due to the adoption of the exoskeleton in the healthcare sector for robotic rehabilitation and robotic therapy.
• Many Hospitals and Rehabilitation Centers use exoskeletons for the treatment of patients suffering from spinal injuries, paralysis, and stroke.

By Geography: North America accounted for the largest market share among all regions within the total Global Exoskeleton Market in 2021.

• The growth is primarily due to the increase in disability issues in individuals as well as continuous spending on research & development for the exoskeleton.
• In August 2018, the Centers for disease control and prevention which is the public health agency of the U.S that serves under the U.S department of health and human services stated that in one of four U.S Adults i.e. around 61 Million Americans suffer from a disability that majorly impacts their life activities.
