Global Snake Robot Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Applications in Surgery Expected to Boost Market Growth

Medical robots, owing to their uses in surgical procedures, have witnessed increased deployment in clinics and hospitals across the globe. There has been a significant rise in urgency for robotic surgery around the world, particularly in USA, across specialties. There have been significant advancements in self-deployment, localized drug delivery, and remote diagnostics monitoring through robots, particularly in Japan and China. There has been growing demand for snake robots in surgical environments across the globe.

Robot assisted minimally invasive surgeries are becoming increasingly popular in medical centres and hospitals with growing interest in snake-like robots for directed penetration. Snake robots have morphable structures and are fit to be deployed at several access sites during laparoscopybased surgical procedures. Recent reports reveal successful use of electromagnet-powered, surface-mounted slithering catheter in treatment of aneurysms and strokes in cerebral areas. These developments open new avenues for study on navigation around sensitive and risky areas such as heart and brain. Key domains include Ophthalmic surgery; Neurosurgery; Cardiothoracic surgery; Otolaryngology; Gynaecology; Urological surgery; Prostate surgery; Pancreatectomy; and others. Applications of snake robots in surgery are likely to drive the global snake robot market.

Snake Robots have Important Applications in Defence and Search and Rescue 

There are important uses of snake robots in defence and search and rescue that are being recognized across the globe. Bodies such as Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics of DRDO, Bengaluru, developed snake robot capable of being employed in search and rescue during earthquakes and inspections in restricted spaces such as pipes, reconnaissance and surveillance operations. Such developments are expected to drive the global snake robot market.

Defence organizations are engaged in developing snake robots that are capable of being deployed in dangerous environments in place of live soldiers to assist in search and rescue missions and evaluate threats such as IEDs.

In 2020, it was reported that engineers had developed a robot that could steadily climb large steps; this advancement could help in developing superior search and rescue robots that could effectively navigate difficult terrain.
