Global Medical Robotics Market to Reach US$1.53 Billion by 2018, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. - Page 2
While the global economic downturn took its toll on the overall robotics market, medical robotics sector almost remained undeterred during the period. The growth in the sector is attributed to the increase in technology advancements, and growing elderly population needing healthcare. The use of robotics not only minimized incisions and enhanced precision of surgical procedures, but also resulted in reduced hospital stays which further led to cost savings. However, bottlenecks such as high installation and development costs plagued the arena during the period, having a ruinous effect on companies engaged in the development of robotics. The fading impact of recession is, however, promoting larger manufacturers to make higher investments in developing products that ensure high precession and safety. Growing popularity and widespread use of endoscopic surgical techniques in almost all surgical procedures is further paving an easy road to recovery.
Assistive robotics in medical field entails collaborative working of machines and humans. However, in the current scenario the human-robot interaction process involves different communications techniques leading to disruption of interaction between the two entities. Nevertheless, academic institutions are focusing on developing assistive robots that can communicate effectively and are in line with the patient requirements. Moreover governmental regulations, and consistency and safety concerns, are also restricting the growth of assistive robotics market. Despite the hurdles prevailing in the market, the assistive robotics segment is expected to surge ahead in the wake of increasing aging population.
The US represents the largest regional market worldwide, as stated by the new market research report on Medical Robotics. The growth in the market is driven by the growing demand for minimally invasive surgery. Besides, product innovation is expected to drive growth in the years ahead. However, Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market for medical robotics worldwide, representing a CAGR of close to 12% during the analysis period.
