Selling 1.42 Billion Yuan but Only 12.5% of Shipments: The Truest Picture of Exoskeleton Robots

The article analyzes the gap between the payment side and the product side of China's exoskeleton robot industry: after a hospital in Zhejiang was included in medical insurance, the utilization rate of rehabilitation exoskeletons rose from 15% to 66%, but most places reimburse training service fees rather than the equipment itself. IDC data shows that in 2025 China's overall exoskeleton market will exceed 1.6 billion yuan, with about 26,000 units shipped, of which medical rehabilitation sales are about 1.42 billion yuan, accounting for 88.3%, while shipments are only about 3,200 units, accounting for 12.5%; consumer assistance shipments are about 19,000 units but sales are only about 110 million yuan.
