Implications of COVID-19 on Healthcare Robotics Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 has wholly disrupted the momentum of the healthcare robotics market, which is on the course of achieving technological soundness and ubiquitous incorporation, in this new decade. Due to the roll-out of guidelines that recommend postponing elective surgeries, the weekly robotic-assisted surgical procedures have been slashed to its bare minimum values. Hence, it is anticipated that the annual robotic-assisted surgical procedural volumes will be slashed by 40%. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has a positive impact on the incorporation of service robots developed to aid physicians in enhancing care.
