LAS VEGAS, Nov. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Healthcare Assistive Robots Market are revolutionizing the eldercare industry. These robots perform physical tasks for the well-being of people with disabilities. They can sense, process sensory information and perform actions that benefit older people and people with disabilities.The geriatric population, i.e. people aged 65 and older, is on a rise globally due to the developments in healthcare leading to increase in longevity. According to the National Institute on Aging, the geriatric population worldwide is expected to grow from 524 million in 2010 to approximately 1.5 billion in 2050. This increase will primarily be driven by falling fertility rates and tremendous improvement in life expectancy. With these trends of global aging statistics, eldercare has gained remarkable importance in recent times. The current healthcare workforce worldwide is not sufficient to meet older patients’ needs. According to a study conducted by the Eldercare Workforce Alliance, by 2030, an estimated 3.5 million additional direct-care workers and healthcare professional will be needed for treating elderly patients.



Rehabilitative robots segment dominated the overall market in 2016, with nearly two-fifth share of the market. These robots considerably reduce the time spent by a therapist on supervision. They are used as treatment aids and can assist a large number of patients under the supervision of a single therapist. Surveillance and security robots market is expected to grow at a high CAGR over the forecast period, as the demand for skilled care takers and homecare services is growing due to rising geriatric population.

Stroke application segment held the major share of the overall market in 2016, due to increasing incidence of neurological disorders, rising geriatric population, and technological advancements in rehabilitative robots. Orthopedics segment will witness a rapid growth during the forecast period due to increased usage of assistive robots in physiotherapy and rising number of injuries related to traffic accidents.
