Since early 1980s, robotics has been in use in the medical sector, though in a restricted manner with doubts in mind about their capability and safety concern. With each passing year since then, medical robotics is slowly overpowering many surgical procedures such as neurosurgeries, orthopaedics, minimally invasive surgeries and many others (performed by healthcare professionals). Their clean, precise, up to the mark work without failis impressing the healthcare market on a global basis.It has been estimated that the medical robotics market has the iron power to change the healthcare field scenario, both structure & operation wise across the globe.
Henceforth, medical robotics market is expected to grow with untapped opportunities in the coming forecast period. This is inspiring more new robotics companies to invest in this field with great enthusiasm.
Medical robotics market is ultimately going to improve the conventional mode of surgical procedures(especially in case of spinal and orthopaedic surgeries) ; in terms of maintaining accuracy in performing repetitive tasks, thereby allowing healthcare professionals to deviate more time on patients. Insufficient number of physicians along with the rapid population growth has also established urgency of supportive help in form of healthcare robots.
Nursing, surgical robots, hospital logistics robots, disinfectant robots, exoskeleton robots and many other robot types fall into medical robotics industry. A large number of robot manufacturers are constantly investing in research& advancement process to widen their array of applications along with cost reduction.
Segmentation based on Product:
