UK Exoskeleton Market (2025-2030)

The study used four major activities to estimate the size of the exoskeleton market. Exhaustive secondary research was conducted to gather information on the market and its peer and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. Finally, market breakdown and data triangulation methods were utilized to estimate the market size for different segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the size of the exoskeleton market began with the acquisition of data related to the revenues of key vendors in the market through secondary research. Various secondary sources were referred to in the secondary research process to identify and collect information for this study. Secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, journals, certified publications, and articles by recognized authors; websites; directories; and databases. Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the value chain of the exoskeleton market, key players, market classification, and segmentation according to the industry trends to the bottom-most level, geographic markets, and key developments from both market and technology-oriented perspectives. Secondary data was collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, further validated through primary research. The secondary research referred to for this research study involved the Exoskeleton Report LLC, MDPI, Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, National Library of Medicine, IEEE Spectrum, and various other sources. Moreover, the study involved extensive use of secondary sources, directories, and databases, such as Hoovers, Bloomberg Businessweek, Factiva, and OneSource, to identify and collect valuable information for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the exoskeleton market. Vendor offerings were taken into consideration to determine market segmentation.

Primary Research

In the primary research, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain the qualitative and quantitative information relevant to this report. Primary sources from the supply side included the key industry participants, subject-matter experts (SMEs), and C-level executives and consultants from various key companies and organizations in the exoskeleton ecosystem. After the complete market engineering (including calculations for the market statistics, the market breakdown, the market size estimations, the market forecasting, and the data triangulation), extensive primary research was conducted to verify and validate the critical market numbers obtained. Extensive qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed during the market engineering process to list key information/insights throughout the report. Extensive primary research was conducted after understanding the exoskeleton market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from the demand and supply-side players across key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (Middle East, Africa, and South America). Various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. The following is the breakdown of the primary respondents.

Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, were covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in the report. After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from the primaries. This and the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions led to the findings described in the remainder of this report.

Note: The three tiers of the companies are defined based on their total revenue in 2024: Tier 1 - revenue greater than or equal to USD 1 billion; Tier 2 - revenue between USD 100 million and USD 1 billion; and Tier 3 revenue less than or equal to USD 100 million.
