TMR’s New Study Reveals Exclusive Insights Into the Artificial Muscle Fibers Market

Global Artificial Muscle Fibers Market: Introduction

Artificial muscle fibers offer a wide range of possible applications. These fibers can be used in prosthetics and medical devices; bio-inspired robotic systems; wearable exoskeletons and actuated suits; aerospace and energy industry; humanoid robotics and many other fields where a human-like actuation system can be a better alternative to an electric motor. Artificial muscle fibers show a great potential in active orthotic and prosthetic therapeutic applications. Artificial muscle fibers are roughly similar to natural muscles in biomechanics and functioning. Advancements in polymer-based actuators have delivered unprecedented strengths. Some of the latest research have shown that these fibers can lift more than 1,000 times their own mass. Artificial muscle fiber is a key development in robotic engineering that could reduce the cost, complexity, and weight of many robotic systems.

Global Artificial Muscle Fibers Market: Dynamics

Rising Prevalence of Diabetes and Vascular Diseases to Drive Artificial Muscle Fibers Market

Diabetes and vascular diseases are primary causes of amputation. As the number of people afflicted by these diseases increases, the demand for prosthetics is also expected to increase. According to the International Diabetes Federation, around 15% of individuals suffering from diabetes develop foot ulcer during their lifetime. It is estimated that 2.4 million people in the U.S. are at the risk for developing foot ulcer. In diabetic patients, foot ulcer, if not properly treated, can lead to amputation. A report published by the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association states that 60% of non-traumatic amputations in the U.S. are performed on diabetes patients. The Amputee Coalition of America points toward vascular diseases as the primary cause of lower limb amputation. According to Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), over 8.5 million people in the U.S. are affected by peripheral vascular disease. The rising prevalence of diabetes and vascular diseases is considered a major factor that is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Extensive R&D Activities in Artificial Intelligence

The new focus of research & development in the prosthetics field is mind-controlled humonics solutions. Humonics is a later stage of bionics that aims to restore unmet needs of lost sensation and human-like aesthetics including gestures and volitional control. Researchers at the John Hopkins University have created a mind-controlled artificial limb that can move individual digits without much training. Extensive research in the field of artificial intelligence aimed at creating higher-quality life for amputees is likely to result in the development of technologically advanced products. This is likely to drive the global artificial muscle fibers market during the forecast period.
