Healthcare Companion Robots Market Forecast By Top Leading Players – Intuition Robotics, Luvozo, Honda Robotics

Healthcare Companion Robots offer companionship and emotional support for children, the elderly, and disabled people. The advancements in AI, sensors, and actuators over time have increased interest in Healthcare Companion Robots Market.

Global Healthcare Companion Robots Market

Global Healthcare Companion Robots Market is estimated at about $3 Bn (2020), growing at a CAGR of close to 20% through 2020-2025. The growing need for companion robots for elderly care and children is driving the growth of the healthcare companion robots market.

Growing Aging Population, The Rising Cost Of Elder Care, And The Shortage Of Caregivers

The population across the globe is aging and the number of caregivers in relation to the aging population is declining. By 2025, it is predicted that Japan will have a 1 million caregiver shortage. Additionally, the cost of elder care is also rising. Between 2019 and 2020, the cost of in-home care jumped by about 4.4%; assisted living costs surged by 6.2%; and nursing home costs increased by 3%. Instead, using a companion robot might lower this cost.

For instance

• A monthly service contract for Stevie (a robot developed by Trinity College, Dublin) would likely run between 50-60% of the cost of hiring a human to do the same tasks, as per their claim.

“The growing disparity between healthcare workforce and aging population is a concern in many countries and we believe companion robots have a great role to play in bridging this gap” – CEO, Leading Medical Robots Company
