PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Innovations in robotics technology, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor technology, are enhancing the capabilities of medical robots. These advancements enable more precise surgical procedures, improved rehabilitation processes, and efficient hospital logistics, thus attracting more healthcare facilities to adopt robotic solutions. The market is characterized by a moderate level of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity by the leading players. This is due to several factors, including the desire to expand the business to cater to the growing demand for medical service robots. A report from Grand View Research said that the global medical service robots market size was estimated at USD 20.59 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% from 2025 to 2030. It said: “The growth can be attributed to the introduction of technologically advanced robotic equipment in the healthcare sector and the rise in per capita healthcare spending. Continuous advancements in technology, such as robotic catheter control systems (CCS), data recorders, data analytics, remote navigation, motion sensors, 3D-Imaging, and HD surgical microscopic cameras, are projected to drive industry growth. Furthermore, the introduction of swarm robotics is opening new opportunities for industry. It is a new approach to coordinating multi-robotic systems through swarm intelligence.” Active Tech Companies in the markets today include Jeffs' Brands Ltd (NASDAQ: JFBR), Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ: SERV), Symbotic Inc. (NASDAQ: SYM), Microbot Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: MBOT), Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT).
Grand View Research continued: “Swarm robotics finishes the task faster and identifies pathology with higher efficiency. Growing adoption of AR/VR, AI, and IoT along with the introduction of a 5G network is further expected to boost industry growth over the forecast period since these technologies along with a strong network are expected to enhance the experience of remote patient monitoring and improve the workflow process across the medical sector. These robotics services are used to provide a higher level of patient care by providing patient-centric, customized, frequent, and/or constant monitoring for patients dealing with debilitating health conditions and chronic diseases, introducing intelligent therapeutics, and also providing social engagement to elderly patients. Supportive government initiatives to establish medical facilities in remote areas through telepresence-based robotic systems are fueling the industry's growth. The medical service robots market in North America is anticipated to register at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The presence of key players, along with favorable government initiatives for the adoption of robotic technologies in healthcare, is a key factor boosting the region’s growth.”
