Exoskeleton Market Size To Reach $1.79 Billion By 2033

Exoskeleton Market Growth & Trends

The global exoskeleton market size is expected to reach USD 1.79 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 14.48% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rapidly growing global geriatric population, increasing incidences of road accidents, and rising prevalence of stroke and spinal cord injuries are boosting the adoption of exoskeleton products and driving market growth. For instance, according to an article published by SingleCare Administrators in February 2023, globally, over 350 million individuals have arthritis, and 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has arthritis.

Furthermore, the market is expected to witness the emergence of smarter & more competent exoskeletons through the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. For instance, in April 2022, Ottobock introduced the Ottobock Shoulder, a next-generation Paexo Shoulder exoskeleton that supports strenuous over-the-shoulder activities in production, logistics, handicraft, and maintenance. Thus, emergence of technologically advanced exoskeletons boosts market growth.

In addition, key players adopting diverse strategies such as new product launches, geographical expansion, partnerships, and collaborations, and a rise in R&D activities drive the market growth. In April 2022, ReWalk Robotics participated in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Consortium, associated with the MAGNET incentive program under the Israel Innovation Authority. This initiative was expected to promote R&D collaborations and offer grants to renowned academic & research centers and private businesses developing advanced robotic technologies.

Moreover, exoskeletons have been used in various areas, including dry docks, factories, construction sites, surgical rooms, and warehouses. They are beneficial in reducing the burden of work. Thus, various benefits of exoskeletons are fueling market growth. Furthermore, with growing adoption and demand, it is expected that companies may buy millions of units for their workers to increase productivity and prevent musculoskeletal disorders over the forecast period, which is anticipated to result in increased quality of work.
