by Market Overview:
Robotic prosthetics are powered artificial limbs that can mimic the movements of natural limbs using sensors, microprocessors, and actuators. They provide mobility and dexterity to amputees by restoring motor functions through neurosensors. Different types of robotic prosthetics available are upper-limb prosthetics, lower-limb prosthetics, prototype prosthetics, and exoskeletons. Robotic prosthetics offer several advantages over conventional prosthetics such as enhanced gripping capabilities, enhanced mobility with feedback sensors, and natural range of motion. They help improve the quality of life of amputees by enabling them to perform daily routines independently. The growing prevalence of limb loss globally due to accidents, cancers, and peripheral vascular diseases has increased the demand for advanced prosthetics solutions.
The global Robotic Prosthetics Market is was at US$ 2.90 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.5% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by CoherentMI.
Market Key Trends:
One of the key trends in the global robotic prosthetics market is the increasing adoption of bionic limbs. Bionic limbs utilize cutting-edge neuroscience and robotics to restore near-natural sensorimotor control for amputees. For example, the Modular Prosthetic Limb developed by DARPA offers multi-grip manipulation, proprioceptive feedback, and intuitive control by connecting to peripheral nerves. Another noteworthy trend is the rising popularity of myoelectric prosthetics. Myoelectric prosthetics pick up electrical signals generated by the muscles near the residual limb to power movements. Advancements in myoelectric and bionic technology are making prosthetics more dexterous, affordable and acceptable. 3D printing is also being leveraged to develop customized prosthetics through rapid prototyping. This is expanding access to prosthetics and positively impacting the industry.
Porter’s Analysis
