Medical Robotics Technicians

The value of the global medical robot market is expected to increase from $14.9 billion in 2023 to $57.0 billion by 2032, according to SNS Insider, a market research and consulting firm. As a result, demand should be good for medical robotics technicians. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment for medical equipment repairers will grow by 13 percent (which is much faster than the average for all careers) from 2024 through 2034.

“As the range of tasks performed by both collaborative and mobile robots increases, we can expect to see increased adoption of robots across the entire spectrum of healthcare,” according to the International Federation of Robotics. “In the short to medium-term, we can expect an expansion of robots for tasks that do not involve significant interaction with physicians, nurses and patients—such as fetching and carrying materials and medications. In the long term, as software algorithms develop, we will see increasing robot-to-human interaction.”
