Adoption of assistive rehabilitation robots as an innovative treatment for therapy of stroke recovered patient is increasing in recent years.

Ability of these robots to perform repetitive sets of exercises and provision of measurable feedback will render positive impact on the healthcare assistive robot industry growth.

Furthermore, increase in funding for research on robotics technology will stimulate healthcare assistive robot industry growth over the analysis timeline.

For instance, the National Institutes of Health is focusing on R&D pertaining to robotic technology to ensure better healthcare outcome and increasing life span of patients.

Moreover, growing focus of industry players on development of technologically advanced robots will further spur the market size.

However, high costs of robots and social stigma pertaining to robots may impede healthcare assistive robot market growth during the forthcoming years.

Socially assistive robots segment held significant revenue in 2017 and is estimated to show 19.5 percent annual growth over the analysis timeframe.

Segment growth is attributed to the support provided by these robots to the operators through social interaction rather than physical.

Mexico healthcare assistive robot market is estimated to witness lucrative annual growth of 19.4 percent over the forecast timeframe owing to rising prevalence of neurological diseases and disability among people coupled with subsequent rise in geriatric population base.

Moreover, government health reforms, rising investments in R&D activities, technology advancement and subsequent economic development in the nation will drive Mexico assistive robot market growth.

Prominent industry players operating in the healthcare assistive robot market include:

  • Barrett Technology;
  • GaitTronics;
  • Hocoma;
  • Honda;
  • Kuka;
  • Cyberdyne;
  • Interactive Motion Technologies;
  • Hansen Medical;
  • Ekso Bionics;
  • Kinova Robotics; and
  • ReWalk Robotics.

The industry players primarily focus on certain strategic initiatives such as new product launch, acquisitions, partnership and merger to strengthen market position.
