Market Insights

Rising Incidence of Stroke and Musculoskeletal Disorders Drive Market Growth

Stroke continues to be a disease of major concern for public health, despite advancements in the medical industry. According to the Indian Stroke Association, the incidence of stroke in India has increased by ~100% over the past few decades. Furthermore, ~1.8 million people in India suffer a stroke yearly, and only early treatment can reduce morbidity and mortality. Even though the growing incidence of this noncommunicable disease threatens the larger population, stroke treatment and rehabilitation remain underdeveloped in the country. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year, more than 795,000 people in the US have a stroke, of which ~610,000 are first or new strokes. Further, stroke is the fifth-highest cause of death in the US, causing 147,810 deaths in 2018. Overall, there were an estimated 460,000 strokes in the US in 2019 (two-thirds were ischemic), 190,000 were stroke-related deaths, and 3.83 million stroke-disability-adjusted life years. Therefore, the rising incidences of stroke has increased the demand for exoskeleton robotic system for rehabilitation of stroke patients to help improve the quality of life.

Furthermore, musculoskeletal disorders affect the mobility of an individual. The rising prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendinitis, sarcopenia, osteopenia, and low back injuries, is expected to fuel the need for exoskeletal robotic systems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), musculoskeletal diseases affect ~1.71 billion people globally, and low back pain is the leading cause of disability in 160 countries. These exoskeletons robotic systems assist patients in managing their condition and regaining their mobility, thereby improving their overall quality of life. Thus, the rising prevalence of stroke and musculoskeletal disorders has fueled the use of exoskeletal robotic systems for rehabilitation.
