Japan's healthcare robotics market is anticipated to reach a market valuation of US$ 3,077.0 million by 2025 expanding at a CAGR of 8.07% in the course of forecast period (2019-2025). The expected growth of the healthcare robotic technology in Japan can be attributed to the combined pressure of skyrocketing costs, aging population, and a shortage of qualified healthcare workers. Medical robots can prove to be a solution to these problems of healthcare industry. Further, numerous initiatives from government and private sector have made Japan one of the leading markets for Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, big data and other technology, this would further boost the market for healthcare robotics in Japan. Robots in healthcare help the medical personnel to spend more time with patients, as it can perform the routine tasks. This would further make the medical procedures safer and less costly for patients. Medical robotics is a fast growing and rapidly innovating space, majorly fueled by enhancement of automation technologies, rising incidence of disabilities in human beings and increased incidence of age-related physical ailments in the baby boomer population in Japan.

The common medical robotics used are the ones which can be surgeon driven. There are autonomous surgical robots also available in the market, wherein robots can operate independent of human control. The autonomous robotics are specifically designed to suture or stitch up soft tissue. Campaigners of robot-assisted systems boast of better patient outcomes through better pre-operative planning and improved execution. There is a perceived advantage of robotic surgery, i.e. it could be less painful, early recovery, early return to work and patient safety if used appropriately. The disadvantages could be listed as increased complications during the surgeon’s learning curve, high blood loss, misalignment of prosthesis, costs and unpredictable results. The mistakes being committed by healthcare professionals can lead to serious adverse events and poor patient health. Where humans make error, machines can help ensure standardization and uniformity in the process. Owing to such benefits, increasing number of healthcare organizations are evaluating and purchasing automated systems that boost their risk management strategies and patient safety efforts. Owing to the increasing awareness for healthcare and increasing life expectancy in Japan along with growing ageing population, demand and reliance of medical robots has increased over the years. The major factors boosting the market growth include a shifting trend from conventional surgery to advanced robotic surgery, growing adoption of robotics prosthetic & exoskeleton for rehabilitation therapeutics, and rising incidence of cancers and other critical disorders.

There are different kinds of medical robots available in Japan such as Surgical Robot, Rehabilitation Robot, Diagnostic Robot, Hospital & Pharmacy Robot and other robotic systems. With advancement in robotic technology, future surgical robots will be smaller, less expensive, and easier to operate, which may ultimately facilitate their acceptance in surgery and help to improve their clinical use. Demand for rehabilitation robots could be particularly strong in Japan given the nation's rapidly greying and shrinking population. As per the Institute of Medicine at the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, diagnostic errors cause around 10% of patient deaths and contribute for 6-17% of hospital complications. For such reason, demand for diagnostic robotics has increased in Japan. For hospital and pharmacy Japan uses nursing robots as supplemental healthcare workers in elderly homes.

By application type, the report is segmented into General Surgery, Gynecology, Urology, Orthopedic and Neurological. In 2018, robotics solution was majorly applied for general surgery. The segment is expected to generate revenue of US$ 1,152.1 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.54%. Robotic helpers are making their way into Japanese hospitals to reduce the workload of human healthcare professionals. According to Japan’s robot strategy, by 2020, the government wants four in five care recipients to accept some support provided by robots. Japan is at the sharp edge of ageing population. Accordingly, assistive technologies such as home monitoring robots to support care for older people are being developed. Thus, home care providers come into picture wherein medical robots are required. Japan’s artificial intelligence expertise is transforming the elder care industry, with niche robotic care accomplishing more than just taking pressure off the critical shortage of caregivers. The government of Japan is prioritizing the development of robotic caregivers for the elderly as the ageing society faces a predicted shortfall of 370,000 caregivers by 2025. This brings medical robots in institutional long-term care providers.

Kanto and Kinki are the most populated regions of Japan. Kanto region dominated the use of healthcare robotics in Japan. In the Kinki region, Kyoto University Hospital has the surgical unit that uses da Vinci surgical robot along with University Hospital, Kyoto Perfectural University of Medicine. Further, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Kyoto University has started to use robotic-assisted surgery and has made it standard approach. Rest of Japan includes the six remaining regions of Japan namely Hokkaido, Tohoku, Chubu, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu. Most of the innovations in terms of medical robotics in Japan has been witnessed in Tokyo prefectures.

The major players operating in the Japanese Healthcare Robotics technology market are Intuitive surgical, Zimmer Biomet, Mazor Robotics, Accuray Incorporated, Hansen Medical Inc./Auris, Stryker corporation, Toyota Industries Corporation, Hitachi Healthcare Manufacturing, Ltd., Panasonic Corporation and Fujitsu, Ltd. These companies have adopted numerous growth strategies including innovation product launches, investment in R&D, partnership, mergers etc. to sustain in the growing Japanese Healthcare Robotics market.
