Global Soft Robotics Market is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 35.1% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Soft robotics is a subset of construction robots that has been especially developed to provide reprogrammable, multifunctional, and adaptable systems that intelligently relate to sensing activity. Additionally, suppliers of soft robotics create materials, components, and enormous active structures that can more easily link to production processes and adapt to their immediate surroundings than robots constructed of hard components. The market growth is driven by significant factors such as rapid industrialization and automation, increasing number of exoskeleton innovations in healthcare industry, and rise in the development of resilient supply chains.
In May 2021, a group of scientists from Queen's University in Canada developed an exoskeleton that lowers the metabolic expenditure of walking. The goal of the research is to develop an exoskeleton that can overcome some of the brakings that happen during walking, hence lowering the metabolic cost of walking generally. According to a report on Soft Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) and Interventions by IEEE published in May 2022, the development of laparoscopic surgery-which is carried out through small incisions-led to a swift shift away from conventional open surgery in the medical field. The natural next step was moving from portable equipment to RAMIS. Robots and an easy user interface made it simple for surgeons to carry out difficult surgical operations, largely simulating the open surgery setting's accessibility. Moreover, innovative robots for small and medium-sized companies and increased R&D from various countries create lucrative growth during the forecast years. However, lack of awareness and a single centralized regulatory body and lack of homogeneous programming platforms stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Soft Robotics Market study include: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America is leading the global market share owing to increase in the number of gynecology, urology, as well as orthopedic-related disorders, coupled with improvements in medical facilities. However, APAC is expected to be the fastest growing region owing to massive adoption of the technology with increasing domestic production in the market.
