Global Healthcare Mobile Robots Market is valued at approximately USD 3.32 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 16.1% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Healthcare mobile robots are robotic systems designed for various tasks in healthcare settings. These robots can autonomously navigate hospital environments to deliver medications, transport supplies, monitor patients, and perform disinfection tasks as they are equipped with sensors and navigation systems. They lessen the burden on healthcare professionals, improve efficiency, and enhance patient care by ensuring timely medication delivery, accurate supply transportation, real-time patient monitoring, and effective infection control measures. As technology advances, healthcare mobile robots are expected to play an increasingly significant role in revolutionizing healthcare delivery by offering cost-effective and efficient solutions to meet the growing demands of healthcare facilities. The Healthcare Mobile Robots Market is expanding because of factors such as the introduction of cutting-edge robotic equipment in the healthcare sector, shortages in skilled nursing and healthcare personnel, and escalating healthcare expenditures.
In addition, with the global aging population on the rise and a persistent shortage of skilled human labor, governments worldwide are considering the integration of robots to bridge this gap. According to the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in 2019, the world’s population of people aged 65 and up totaled 703 million. Also, the number of elderly people is expected to increase to 1.5 billion by 2050. In the U.S., the healthcare sector employs over 4.5 million professionals, including nursing aides and home health caregivers, accentuating the need for AI-powered robots in elderly care. UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP LTD organized a forum in September 2022 focused on “Integrating High Technology with Elderly Care Services,” unveiling their “Global Strategy of Smart Elderly Care” and introducing robotics products tailored to healthcare and elderly care. Collaborations with entities such as the China Academy of Transportation Sciences Group and Medical Care Service Company Inc. (MCS) in Japan were also announced, marking a significant shift towards enhancing elderly care through robotics and advancing the Healthcare Mobile Robots Market. Thus, these aforementioned factors are propelling the growth of the Healthcare Mobile Robots Market over the estimated period. Moreover, the rise in adoption of advanced technologies, as well as the growing focus on enhancing patient care and experience present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the security and data privacy concerns and the high initial investment costs are hindering the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Healthcare Mobile Robots Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to supportive government initiatives and the presence of highly advanced healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, increasing disposable incomes, expanding funds, growing acceptance of robotic technologies (including service robots) in healthcare facilities, and ongoing product launches within the Healthcare Mobile Robots Market are expected to fuel regional market expansion. For example, in September 2023, Diligent Robotics unveiled a USD 25 million fund aimed at bolstering R&D efforts, production, and significantly expanding its presence in nursing robots. Whereas, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast years. The rising demand for automation and cost reduction, high adoption of contactless solutions in healthcare settings, and emerging robotics startups are significantly propelling the market demand across the region. The surge in growth is attributed to the emergence of innovative health tech startups reshaping healthcare through the development of medical technologies aimed at optimizing patient care, improving healthcare delivery, and reducing costs.
