Rehabilitation Robots Market Outlook:
Rehabilitation Robots Market size was valued at USD 494.8 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 2090.1 million by the end of 2035, rising at a CAGR of 15.5% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of rehabilitation robots is assessed at USD 571.4 million.
The global patient pool requiring advanced rehabilitation is growing and is driven by the rising prevalence of neurological events. As per the WHO March 2024 report, more than 3 billion people in the world are living with neurological conditions. Further, the increasing incidence of stroke drives the market for rehabilitation robots. This creates a persistent demand, and the market expands based on the technology-related rehabilitation solutions. The clinical demand is surging further due to a shortage of physical and occupational therapists. This creates a clear need for an automated system that can increase and extend the capability of clinical staff.
Investment in research and development is supported by significant funding, which is aimed at proving efficacy and incorporating these modern technologies into care pathways. In the U.S., the NIH and NSF allocate a considerable amount to academic and commercial entities for enhancing and validating robotic systems in healthcare. The American Investment Council in 2025 reported that private equity supports life sciences and medical device companies by investing USD 36 billion and USD 55 billion, which indirectly drives the market by supporting innovation and commercialization of advanced robotic rehabilitation systems.
