Exoskeleton market dynamics
Driver: Growing demand from the healthcare sector for robotic rehabilitation
Robot-assisted therapy systems are being increasingly used in rehabilitation processes as they provide countless benefits in performing repeated movements during goal-directed tasks, the evaluation of different physiological and functional parameters during rehabilitation exercises, improving motivation, and assisting home exercises and training.
The use of exoskeletons for such purposes has grown, in part, due to the increase in the number of people with physical disabilities, especially the geriatric population. According to the Statistics Bureau of Japan, in 2019, the population aged 65 years and above was 35.89 million, constituting 28.4% of the total population (i.e., 1 in every 4 people)—marking a record high. It not only implies that there are more potential users for humanoid robots but also signifies that the number of active people to look after the elderly and disabled would be few. Even in North America, it is estimated by the Administration on Aging (AOA) that over the past 10 years, the population aged 65 and above increased from 38.8 million in 2008 to 52.4 million in 2018 (a 35% increase) and is projected to reach 94.7 million in 2060.
Restraint: Regulatory challenges for securing approvals for medical applications of exoskeletons
User safety and device reliability are the main concerns in the development and regulation of medical devices. Manufacturers’ skills and expertise pertaining to technical designing can matter during the testing of the product. The malfunctioning of a medical device can lead to life-threatening consequences, and hence, exoskeletons developed for healthcare applications need to be thoroughly examined. Currently, there are a few standards that are directly applicable to the exoskeleton industry. The FDA recognizes ISO standards that are applicable to relevant industries, and only products that receive regulatory approvals can be sold in the market.
Opportunity: Increasing adoption of human augmentation equipment in industrial and military sectors
Years of research has resulted in the transformation of load systems into human augmentation equipment. As exoskeleton systems can enhance powerlifting, load carrying, and endurance functions; the market has received a series of funding from the department of defense of several nations.

Technological advancements have played a big role in the development of cost-efficient and affordable exoskeletons; however, they are yet to reach their market potential. The degree of usability of exoskeletons is a big issue being faced by the industry as exoskeletons are slow and cumbersome. Cost acts as a barrier for the adoption of exoskeletons for rehabilitation among people with disabilities in low-income countries. A patient with a lower limb disability will have to pay a high price for an exoskeleton power suit for robotic rehabilitation, along with the supervision session conducted by physiotherapists, who are trained to work with power suits. A patient will have to pay for the exoskeleton and other standard medical expenses such as surgery and hospital stay, making the use of the exoskeleton incredibly expensive. Hence, the companies in the industry are focusing on R&D to develop cost-efficient exoskeleton solutions.
