In 2019, the global robotic prosthetic market was worth USD 1.1 billion. This market is expected to grow 9.2% in the forecast period. This market is driven by increasing amputation cases worldwide, advances in robotic space, government initiatives such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and nonprofit organizations such as Amputee Coalition to facilitate funding and purchase of prosthetic devices for amputees. The market for robotic prosthetics is also expected to grow due to an increase in limb loss caused by cardiovascular disease, war casualties and tumors.
The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease, obesity, stroke and diabetes has led to an increase of cases of amputations. The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation estimates that between 30,000 and 40,000 amputations were performed in America in 2019. In England, 27,465 amputations occurred between 2015 and 2018. The increase in amputations was 14 percent compared to 2012-2015. These figures indicate an increase in demand, which will have a positive effect on the market for robotic prosthetics.
There is a growing demand for these devices due to the increasing use of connectivity technologies like Bluetooth, myoelectric technology, and microprocessor controller. The use of thermoplastics, carbon fiber materials for robotic amputation devices has been made possible by advances in material science. This is improving their efficiency and decreasing the cost. Other factors that will drive the market for robotic prosthetics in the future include increased awareness and adoption of advanced products in developed nations.
This field is being supported by government agencies like the CDC or Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which are supporting and conducting research. The increasing government involvement with robotic prosthetics will also be a factor that will increase demand over the forecast period. The CDC funds the 'Amputee Coalition National Limb Loss Resource Center,' which provides financial assistance to amputees. DARPA has provided funding for researchers to develop robotic limb prosthetics. DARPA also initiated the "Revolutionizing Prosthetics Program" to invent robotic prosthetics.
Robotic technology is a key component of amputation. The U.S. government is investing more in robotic technology research. The DEKA arm, a robotic upper limb prosthetic, was developed by DEKA Research and Development Corp. and funded with USD 40 million by DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetic Program. The DEKA arm, an advanced prosthetic arm that can perform multiple power-driven movements, is a great example of this type of arm. The FDA approved it in 2016. This allowed for its manufacture and marketing within the Veterans Affairs (VAH) health system.
The market for robotic prosthetics can be divided into two segments based on technology: Microprocessor Controlled prosthetics (MPC) and myoelectric prosthetics. MPC prosthetics had the highest revenue share in 2019, due to their easy availability and superior quality to myoelectric devices. This segment also has the highest revenue share due to increased research into developing new devices using MPC technology.
Myoelectric prosthetics technology is expected to grow at a fastest rate of 10.3% during the forecast period. This segment growth can be attributed to the many advantages of myoelectric prosthetics like mobility and the use electro signals to move the limbs. The market will be boosted by the increasing number of R&D efforts undertaken by key players as well as new product launches that use this technology over the forecast period.
The global robotic prosthetic market can be divided into two segments based on extremity: upper body extremity (or lower body extremity). The market share for the lower body extremity segment was the largest in 2019. The segment is expected to grow at a 9.5% annual rate over the forecast period. The market is driven by the availability of robotic prosthetics for lower extremities, the launch of new products and the increasing number of cases of lower body amputations around the world.
The demand for lower body prosthetics is increasing rapidly among the elderly and disabled. This is expected to be one of the key factors driving the market. The market is also being driven by technological advances in lower and upper limb robotic prosthetics, as well as the increasing use of advanced polymers to develop novel prosthetics. Market growth is expected to be driven by the large demand for lower-body robotic prosthetics over the forecast period.
With a 43.5% revenue share, North America was the dominant market for robotic prosthetics in 2019. The key drivers behind the highest revenue share are high penetration of technologically advanced products and high healthcare expenditure. Also, favorable government initiatives to support robot technology are important. The market will be further influenced by various government initiatives to prevent amputations.
Asia Pacific will grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. The market is driven by a growing geriatric population that is more susceptible to diabetes and ulcers, ongoing investments in robotics and improved healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries like India and China. The market is expected to grow due to increasing medical tourists.
HDT Global, Ottobock, EndoliteSynTouch, Inc., Touch Bionics, Inc., Shadow Robot Company, and Ossur Americas are some of the major players in this market. Due to the presence many small and large-scale manufacturers, this market is extremely fragmented. Due to this highly fragmented market, players constantly try to improve their position through different strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, product innovation, and modification of existing products.
This report predicts revenue growth at the global, regional and country level and offers an analysis of industry trends for each sub-segment from 2016 to 2027. Grand View Research has divided the global robotic prosthetic market on the basis technology, extremity and region.
