Exoskeleton solutions are being widely adopted across industries to support employee health and boost productivity. The growing demand has led to the emergence of several startups expertizing in exoskeleton technology and providing solutions for rehabilitation. Furthermore, the constantly evolving exoskeleton industry is driving market players to devise innovative product development strategies to boost the adoption rate over the forthcoming years. For instance, in June 2021, suitX launched shieldX which is used by health workers wearing heavy anti-radiation aprons who are prone to suffering from neck & back problems. Similarly, in May 2021, Roam Robotics announced the launch of Ascend, which is a robotic partial knee orthosis used by wearers to reduce knee pain and regain mobility.
Some of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and disorders affecting the construction industry are Occupational Overuse Syndrome (OOS), Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD), and Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). As per the WHO, data estimates published in February 2021, approximately 1.71 billion individuals across the globe suffer from musculoskeletal disorders. According to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) data estimates in November 2020, approximately 480,000 workers in Great Britain suffer from occupation-related musculoskeletal disorders across several industries. These are some of the driving forces boosting the adoption of exoskeleton solutions owing to the benefits associated with exoskeleton technology such as augmenting or assisting users’ physical activity or capability, improving users’ health and productivity, and reducing fatigue experienced by industrial workers.
However, the growth and development of the market for exoskeleton are restrained by limited technological advancements and low per capita income in emerging economies and under-developed countries. Companies in under-developed nations face several challenges in the form of lack of funding and the lack of accessibility to these novel technologies for the patients. For instance, the lack of adequate healthcare services in emerging economies has restricted access to rehabilitation therapies for disabled communities. Furthermore, these developing countries heavily depend on medical device imports, which makes these devices more expensive and restricts access, thereby challenging the development and growth of the market for exoskeletons.
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the global economy, disrupted supply & demand chains, increased unemployment, and led to overall economic uncertainty. As per Ekso Bionics’ 2020 annual report, it stated an overall decrease of 36.0% in revenue earning in FY2020 as compared to FY2019 owing to the significant decline in sales of medical devices. Furthermore, the annual report states that the demand for exoskeleton products dramatically dwindled down by 38.0% during the onset of the pandemic leading to a booking of 61 units in 2020 as compared to 98 units in 2019.
