Elder care assistive robots are robotic systems intended to support older adults with their daily activities, health management, and personal safety. These robots use advanced sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor health, assist with routine tasks, and offer companionship, thereby improving their independence and quality of life.
The main types of elder care assistive robots are physically assistive robots and socially assistive robots. Physically assistive robots are designed to aid elderly individuals with physical tasks. They come in different forms, including stationary and mobile, and serve various functions such as monitoring, mobility assistance, social interaction, and helping with household chores.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the elder care assistive robots market by increasing the cost of imported sensors, processors, actuators, batteries, and advanced electronic components required for robotic systems. Manufacturers and healthcare providers in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia-Pacific are most affected due to heavy reliance on globally sourced robotics hardware and semiconductor components, which has increased system pricing and slowed large-scale deployments. Higher tariffs have also raised integration and maintenance costs for care facilities adopting these robots. However, tariffs are encouraging local manufacturing, regional assembly of robotic platforms, and innovation in cost-efficient assistive robot designs, ultimately strengthening domestic supply chains.
The elder care assistive robots market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides elder care assistive robots market statistics, including elder care assistive robots industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a elder care assistive robots market share, detailed elder care assistive robots market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the elder care assistive robots industry. This elder care assistive robots market research report delivers a complete perspective on everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The elder care assistive robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.48 billion in 2025 to $4.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population growth, rising demand for independent living solutions, increasing healthcare workforce shortages, early adoption of robotic assistance in care facilities, advancements in sensor and robotics technologies.
The elder care assistive robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in digital healthcare solutions, rising demand for personalized elder care, expansion of home-based healthcare models, growing acceptance of robotics among elderly users, continuous improvements in AI-driven caregiving systems. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of ai-driven health monitoring capabilities, increasing deployment of socially assistive robots, rising integration of remote care and telehealth features, growing adoption of mobile assistive robots, enhanced focus on human-robot interaction.
The growing elderly population is expected to drive the growth of the programmable elder care assistive robot market in the coming years. The elderly population comprises individuals aged 65 and above, representing those in the later stages of life. Advances in healthcare have increased life expectancy, contributing to the rise in this demographic. Assistive robots help elderly individuals by supporting daily activities, monitoring health, and enhancing overall well-being. For example, in October 2025, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based health agency, reported that by 2030, one in six people worldwide will be aged 60 or older, and by 2050, the global population of individuals aged 60 and above will double to 2.1 billion. Therefore, the increasing elderly population is propelling the growth of the elder care assistive robot market.
Leading companies in the elder care assistive robot sector are focusing on developing sophisticated solutions, such as AI companion robots, to improve care for the elderly. AI companion robots are robotic systems that utilize artificial intelligence to interact with and assist individuals in various ways. For instance, in January 2024, Intuition Robotics, an Israel-based digital companion technology developer, introduced ElliQ 3. This robot features advanced generative AI for natural conversations, contextual memory for personalized interactions, improved hardware for enhanced performance, safety mechanisms for monitored conversations, and creative activities to support cognitive health and social connections. The ElliQ 3's hardware is designed for scalability, allowing Intuition Robotics to expand production and meet growing demand. Its innovative use of generative AI, driven by advanced Large Language Model (LLM) technology, enriches its interactions with older adults.
In August 2023, the New York City Department for the Aging, a US-based government agency, collaborated with Intuition Robotics Ltd. This partnership aims to extend the ElliQ AI companion program to assist more older adults across New York State, utilizing state budgets and a shared goal of addressing senior social isolation. Intuition Robotics Ltd., an Israel-based company, specializes in elder care assistive robots.
