The healthcare robotics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $17.25 billion in 2024 to $20.05 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, the rising aging population, growing healthcare cost pressures, advancements in surgical precision and efficiency, and the increasing adoption of robotic-assisted rehabilitation.
The healthcare robotics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.12 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in artificial intelligence, a growing focus on personalized healthcare, an increase in robotic surgery training programs, expanding healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets, and rising investments in healthcare robotics research and development. Major trends in the forecast period include innovations in robotic surgery systems, advanced rehabilitation robots, AI-powered surgical assistance, the development of advanced robotic exoskeletons for mobility, and innovations in robotic-assisted diagnostics.
The increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries is expected to accelerate the growth of the healthcare robotics market. Minimally invasive surgeries involve procedures that are performed through small incisions using specialized instruments, leading to less pain and faster recovery. The growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries is driven by their ability to reduce recovery time, as they result in less bodily trauma and allow quicker return to daily activities. Healthcare robotics enhances these surgeries by offering greater precision, improved control, and smaller incisions, which contribute to faster recovery, lower risks, and better patient outcomes. For example, in March 2023, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, a UK-based organization, reported that approximately 31,057 minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in 2022, marking a 102% increase compared to the previous year. This surge in demand for minimally invasive surgeries is fueling the growth of the healthcare robotics market.
Leading companies in the healthcare robotics market are focused on developing cutting-edge technologies, such as elevator delivery robots, to enhance operational efficiency and optimize hospital logistics. An elevator delivery robot is an autonomous robot designed to transport items between floors in a building, utilizing elevator systems for vertical mobility. For instance, in May 2024, Richtech Robotics Inc., a US-based provider of AI-powered service robots, introduced the Medbo, an elevator-enabled delivery robot. The Medbo is designed to optimize 24/7 medication delivery in healthcare environments, providing secure and accurate transport, minimizing operational costs, and improving patient care. By alleviating routine tasks for healthcare staff, the Medbo boosts overall hospital efficiency, contributing to smoother operations within healthcare facilities.
In August 2024, KARL STORZ, a Germany-based medical technology company, acquired Asensus Surgical for $95 million. The acquisition strengthens KARL STORZ's surgical robotics portfolio, bolstering its capabilities in minimally invasive procedures and reinforcing its position within the rapidly expanding surgical robotics market. Asensus Surgical is a US-based company specializing in robotic surgical technology.
