The Global
Snake
Robots Market
size is expected to expand at a significant CAGR over the forecast period as
these next generation units offer an exclusive movement mechanism and provide
systems that help to improve traditional open surgery process. In addition,
widening base of geriatric population worldwide and continuous advancements in
technology along with increasing research and development activities are among
the primary growth stimulants for the market.
Aged
people are more susceptible to chronic disorders and to treat this particular
demographic, the need for robotic surgical devices is higher. These devices are
being increasingly acknowledged by surgeons worldwide for their high accuracy.
Automated process revolution in communications and surgery is being implemented
through robots. Snake robots are highly accurate in nature owing to their
improved penetration levels in confined and highly impenetrable spaces during
surgery.
They
are self-contained portable devices and can be considered upgradation of
existing systems, which is a new technique that benefits users by providing
efficient access to confined spaces with improved speed, specificity, and
accuracy. Rising awareness regarding their benefits are projected to rev up
adoption rate of snake robots across the globe. They also provide a reusable,
precise, and controlled ability to perform procedures in small hazardous
environments such as nuclear gas reactors.

Growing
collaborations among manufacturers and end users are estimated to work in favor
of the market. For instance, OC Robotics entered in a contract with the U.S Air
Force in 2013 for development of non-destructive snake robotic arms that can
reach inside aircraft wings and help in cleaning and maintenance of them.
Confined
spaces may occur naturally or by failure/accidents. They are present in
different systems of a living being and in manmade structures such as aircraft
engines, automobiles, pipelines, roads, and buildings. Thus, the scope of
applications of snake robots ranges from the healthcare to manufacturing
industries.
These
devices help in improving conventional open surgery or replace them with
minimally invasive surgery. They merge the number of minimally invasive access
ports to one and hence eliminate the need for open surgery. Robotic surgery
techniques have emerged to be fitting solution for minimally invasive surgery,
radiation treatment, drug therapies, and evolving interventional surgical
methods and help in replacing conventional open surgery.
Several
research organizations and universities across the globe such as Carnegie
Mellon University are undertaking initiatives for R&D activities for
development of snake robots for search and rescue purpose. These devices find
wide application in the aviation and aerospace industry, industrial processing
plants, medical field, nuclear reactors, and ship building. Surging demand for
patient care and continuous monitoring is anticipated to have a positive impact
on the growth of the snake robots market.
North
America is estimated to hold a sizeable share in the market during the forecast
period due to high investments by various enterprises in order to improve
productivity and operational efficiency of systems. In addition, a large number
of key players are headquartered in North America, which gives it an edge over
other regions. Intuitive Surgical Inc. is one of the major stakeholders
catering to the market in the U.S.
Asia
Pacific is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period due to
growing geriatric population base and rising disposable income of the populace.
Improving business facilities and infrastructure and increasing demand for
snake robots are among the key factors augmenting the regional market.
Key
players in the market include FANUC Corp.; Intuitive Surgical Inc.; HiBot;
Medrobotics Corp.; OC Robotics; Sarco; Hirose; and Fukushima Lab ACM. Some of
the prominent companies operating in the market are Kawasaki Robotics, Applied
Robotics Technologies, Mitsubishi, Kuka, Yaskawa, Tesla, University of Michigan
Mobile Robotics Lab, OmnitTread, and Tokyo Institute of Technology Research
Laboratories.
Most
of the players in the global snake robots market are focusing on competitive
strategies such as new product launch, collaborations, and acquisitions to
increase their market share. In November 2015, Medrobotics Corp. raised funds
for commercialization of its Flex Robotic System, which consists of features of
both endoscopes and laparoscopes. This tool is reported to help in reducing
invasiveness of ear, nose, and throat surgeries.
In
February 2016, OC Robotics in collaboration with TWI Ltd developed a snake
robot named as LaserPipe snake robot. This robot can slither into a metal pipe
and identify sections that are needed to be repaired and fixes them with the
help of a laser weld.
