The global exoskeleton market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.25 billion in terms of revenue and 26,114 units in terms of volume by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.6% in terms of revenue and 9.3% in terms of volume from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rapidly growing global geriatric population, increasing incidences of road accidents, and rising prevalence of stroke and spinal cord injuries are boosting the adoption of exoskeleton products and driving market growth. For instance, according to an article published by SingleCare Administrators in February 2023, globally, over 350 million individuals have arthritis, and 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has arthritis.

Furthermore, the market is expected to witness the emergence of smarter & more competent exoskeletons through the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. For instance, in April 2022, Ottobock introduced the Ottobock Shoulder, a next-generation Paexo Shoulder exoskeleton that supports strenuous over-the-shoulder activities in production, logistics, handicraft, and maintenance. Thus, emergence of technologically advanced exoskeletons boosts market growth.
