Global Rehabilitation Robots Market Outlook 2025–2030: Trends, Forecasts, and Growth Opportunities

 The global rehabilitation robots market size was estimated at USD 428.0 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2025 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to the rising per capita healthcare spending and rapid adoption of technologically advanced equipment in the healthcare sector. The rising prevalence of strokes and the rapidly growing population of older adults are some of the key driving factors responsible for growth. Technological advancements are also playing a major role in supporting industry growth. Furthermore, increasing disorders such as cumulative trauma disorder, repetitive strain injury, and occupational overuse syndromes further impact the market positively.


The information provided on GOV.UK indicates that in 2023, 18.4% of individuals aged 16 and above reported having a long-term musculoskeletal (MSK) condition. This percentage reflects a rise from the 17.6% prevalence in 2022, but it was lower compared to 2019, when it stood at 18.8%. This increasing number of people suffering from such conditions is resulting in the high use of rehab robots as these devices help differently abled or physically challenged patients in standing up, balancing, and maintaining gait.


The rising prevalence of spinal cord injuries is driving the expansion of rehabilitation robots, as individuals with spinal cord injuries are advised to utilize exoskeletons to enhance their situation. This has emerged as a significant factor in the acceptance of exoskeletons and therapy robots by both patients and healthcare providers. According to WHO report published in 2024, more than 15 million people were living with spinal cord injury, and this increase in the number of patients is resulting in the rising use of exoskeletons.


Additionally, there is a growing need for rehab robots due to their numerous advantages. They allow individuals with spinal cord injuries to walk and stand with minimal energy expenditure. Moreover, the integration of AI, machine learning, and advanced sensors presents new possibilities for the market. The rising number of elderly people with chronic illnesses also contributes to market growth.


Detailed Segmentation:


Type Insights

In 2024, the exoskeletons segment dominated the rehabilitation robots market and accounted for the largest revenue share. The growing elderly population is expected to contribute to an increase in the usage of exoskeletons. For instance, the European Commission has published data indicating that it is estimated that there will be nearly 500,000 people aged 100 or over in the EU-27 by 2050. In addition, the increasing prevalence of cerebral palsy, the most common childhood disability, is expected to increase the usage rate of exoskeleton robots. Increasing product launches and approvals are fostering market growth.


Extremity Insights

In 2024, the lower body segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share. The lower-body segment is expected to experience increased adoption, penetration, and growth due to a rapidly aging population, a rise in the incidence of lower body disabilities, and an increase in paralyzed patients. The robotic lower-body exoskeleton serves as a support for lower limb paralysis and promotes muscle activity in the lower body. These devices are primarily utilized by frail elderly individuals and those with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, and severe gait impairment. 


End-use Insights

In 2024, the hospitals & clinics segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 47.1%. The growth is primarily due to the rise in healthcare spending and the rapid acceptance of advanced technology in healthcare centers. Additionally, a significant number of people with spinal cord injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, and other conditions seek rehabilitation services in hospitals, which contributes to the growth of this sector. 


Regional Insights

North America rehabilitation robots dominated the market in 2024 and accounted for the largest revenue share of 45.1%. The increasing prevalence of spinal cord injury is fueling market growth. The surging disabled population and growing geriatric population are among the factors driving the industry expansion. In 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that approximately 42.5 million individuals in the civilian noninstitutionalized population in the U.S. have disabilities, constituting 13% of this demographic.
