Global Wearable Robotic Exoskeleton Market To Generate A Revenue Of USD 11.86 Billion By 2028

Global Wearable Robotic Exoskeleton Market Size Projected To Grow at 44.37% CAGR by 2028

The global wearable robotic exoskeleton market size was worth around USD 665 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 11.86 billion by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 44.37% between 2022 and 2028.

Wearable robotic exoskeletons also known as power armor or powered suits are machines that can be worn over human body parts and provide structural support by applying physiological and psychological principles to engineered hardware equipment. The exoskeletons run with the help of levers, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electric motors. It also takes assistance from the combination of cybernetic technology to help increase strength, sufficient limb movement, or enhanced endurance.

The control systems are developed to sense and sync with the user’s intended motion, relaying the information to the sensors that manage the gear. It can also help in improving mechanical load tolerance. With the use of a wearable robotic exoskeleton, a user can prevent serious injuries in body parts like the back, shoulder, thighs, or waist by stabilizing movements while lifting heavy loads. A passive exoskeleton and a powered skeleton are two separate entities, in which the former relies entirely on the user’s muscle strength for movements resulting in the addition of more pressure and the user becoming more prone to fatigue.

The technology has wide applications in sectors like healthcare, military, civilian, and other industries. In the healthcare sector, it is majorly used on patients suffering from spinal cord injury. In military segments, the exoskeletons are currently being used to help them train better by improving endurance levels. Full body armor is still in the initial phase of development and is proving to come along with some challenges. In early 2000, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) invested in the first full-bodied armor developed by Sarcos which used 6,800 watts of power and was actuated hydraulically.

The global market is witnessing a rising trend in the development of robotic exoskeletons for civilians like firefighters to help them climb stairs with heavy gear and equipment. In the automotive industry, passive exoskeletons are preferred with the aim to reduce worker injury. They are currently being examined for applications in the logistics sector.

Covid-19 impacted the global market cap negatively due to the temporary closure of manufacturing units. Owing to the transportation restrictions, other problems like the raw material availability and timely distribution of pre-ordered products were impacted resulting in manufacturers incurring losses. However, as of 2022, the global market is showing positive signs of growth during the forecast period.

The global wearable robotic exoskeleton market is anticipated to grow owing to increasing spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders resulting in patients losing mobility in body parts. In medical applications, if orthosis fails in delivering mobilization amongst patients, robotic exoskeletons can be used to provide aid for functional and structural movements.

The technology is well advanced to be used in case of complete or partial paraplegia and is more preferred over orthosis since it takes over a large part of muscle strength relieving the patient of fatigue to tiredness. The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence has managed to develop two general-purpose exoskeletons called the Vi-Bot and the CAPIO which are being used for teleoperation. They are expected to aid nurses and surgeons carrying heavy loads during operations. Such advancements in the medical sector are projected to propel market cap expansion.

The initial high-cost step-up may restrict the global market growth.

The high-quality deliverables are anticipated to provide global market growth opportunities. Stringent government regulations in the healthcare sector may challenge global market expansion.

The global wearable robotic exoskeleton market is segmented based on application, type, and region.

Based on application, the global market is segmented into industrial, military, healthcare, aerospace, and others. The leading user of the technology is the healthcare sector because of the increasing number of strokes and other neurological disorders rendering patient immobility in many cases. As per the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people are affected by disorders like Alzheimer's, epilepsy, stroke, and others every year. More than 15 million people suffered from neurological cases in 2019 which is the equivalent of 1 in every 6 people.

Based on type, the global market segments are passive and powered. The global market is expected to be dominated by the powered wearable robotic exoskeleton since they have higher applications in the military, industrial, and healthcare sectors. Even though the technology is fairly new, it has already been extensively used to help patients suffering from extreme weakness to walk on their own. The segmental growth may be attributed to the rising number of stroke patients. Almost 30 to 40% of stroke survivors lose their movement ability and in such cases, robotic technology can be used to assist the survivors with body movements.

The global wearable robotic exoskeleton market is anticipated to garner the highest revenue from North America owing to the advanced infrastructure of regions like the USA and Canada. The governments of these countries heavily fund technical advancements which are also coupled with the presence of market leaders in the USA. Almost all top organizations providing services in robotic exoskeleton technologies have head offices located across the US which is a contributing factor to regional growth. It is one of the leading regions investing heavily in developing prototypes for full-bodies exoskeletons to enhance its military strength. For instance, the ONYX unit systems developed by Lockheed Martin aim to assist soldiers in performing knee-intensive tasks like crossing difficult terrains. The Leia Sterling group has concluded that the technology can help reduce the response time of soldiers. Europe and Asia-Pacific may also grow significantly owing to the rising interest of technology experts in the applications of robotic exoskeletons.

The global wearable robotic exoskeleton market is led by players like Myomo Inc., Bionik Laboratories Corp., ATOUN Inc, Cyberdyne Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., Daiya Industry Co., Ltd., B-Temia Inc., and P&S Mechanics Co. Ltd.

Recent Developments:

• In September 2019, Hyundai developed a new wearable robot to aid the manufacturing process. The product is called the Vest EXoskeleton (VEX) and is projected to aid employees working long hours on overheard tasks. The VEX aims to reduce fatigue amongst workers by reducing the task of human joint movement thus increasing productivity.
• In January 2020, Sumsaun showcased Ballie, a rolling robot exoskeleton designed to act as a personal fitness trainer. The product showcases Samsung’s advancements in the field of artificial intelligence as the product is aimed to understand and support the needs of its user, while also reacting to their needs.
