簡介目錄

日本機器人護理師市場2023年達到5,317萬美元，預計到2031年將達到32.1347億美元，2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為66.98%。

在技術進步、社會需求和政府支持的推動下，日本機器人護理師市場正在迅速發展。隨著中國應對人口迅速老化和醫療保健專業人員短缺的問題，醫療保健機器人產業正在蓬勃發展。日本機器人護理師市場最重要的趨勢之一是人工智慧（AI）和機器學習的日益融合，以改善患者護理。

這些技術使機器人能夠執行更複雜的任務，例如即時健康監測、預測性護理和根據患者不斷變化的需求提供個人化幫助。人工智慧驅動的機器人還可以適應老年患者的偏好，增強他們的情緒健康並提高機器人護理師的接受度。

日本人口老化是老年護理機構採用機器人護理師的重要動力。隨著勞動力的減少和需要護理的老年人數量的增加，機器人護理師被視為一種有效的解決方案，可以為行動協助、藥物輸送和陪伴等任務提供支援。這些機器人有助於減輕護理人員的身體壓力，提高為老年人提供的護理質量，確保他們能夠有尊嚴地老去。

日本機器人護理師市場的一個成長趨勢是開發與人類護理人員一起工作的協作機器人（cobots）。協作機器人並不是取代人類工人，而是旨在幫助醫療保健專業人員執行重複性或體力需求較高的任務，例如運送患者、運送物資或協助物理治療。

另一個值得注意的趨勢是開發能夠與患者進行情感和社交互動的機器人。鑑於老年患者經常感到孤獨和孤立，特別是在長期照護環境中，能夠提供陪伴和情感支持的機器人越來越受到關注。

司機

醫護人員短缺

由於勞動力老化和進入醫療保健行業的年輕人數量減少，日本正在經歷醫療保健專業人員的嚴重短缺。例如，根據厚生省估計，根據《朝日新聞社 2024 年》發表的一篇文章，到 2040 會計年度，日本將面臨約 57 萬名護理人員的缺口，屆時日本老年人口將接近頂峰。 7 月 12 日發布的估計顯示，2040 會計年度將需要 272 萬名護理人員。

2022 會計年度，護理人員人數為 215 萬人。估計還顯示，2026 會計年度將需要 240 萬名護理人員，這意味著將短缺 25 萬名護理人員。該部門匯總了包括東京和北海道在內的全國 47 個都道府縣政府估計所需的護理人員人數，以配合每三年進行一次的長期護理保險制度審查。

例如，東京都政府估計2040 會計年度將需要258,000 名護理人員，而2022 會計年度需要182,000 名。年需要280 萬名護理人員或護理人員。

此外，根據國家人口和社會安全研究所等機構的預測，15歲至64歲的生產年齡人口將從2023年的7395萬人減少到2040年的6213萬人。將從3,623 萬人增加到3,928 萬人。由於平均薪資較低等原因，護理行業一直在流失員工。因此，醫護人員的短缺有助於推動市場成長。

政府支持與投資

日本政府大力投資機器人研究，特別是在醫療保健領域。大量資金分配給研究機構、大學和致力於老年人護理機器人技術的私人公司。這種財政支援推動了創新並加速了能夠協助完成各種醫療保健任務的機器人護理技術的發展。

例如，福利部計劃在2024年加強對將機器人引入護理機構的支持，以提高工作效率，並在2025會計年度提高工作效率。症患者。它將把相關費用納入 2025 財政年度的預算請求中。該部提供高達 100 萬日圓（7,000 美元）的財政支持，用於引進在這些領域使用的護理機器人。

此外，日本政府還採取了雄心勃勃的「智慧醫療」策略，旨在將機器人等先進技術融入醫療保健服務中。機器人護理師是這個願景的核心，它提供了更有效管理護理服務的潛力。例如，2019年，日本內閣府發起了一項創建「機器人國家」的計劃，其中涉及將人工智慧驅動的機器人技術整合到包括醫療保健在內的各個領域。該計劃旨在利用機器人技術的力量來解決人口老化等社會挑戰，幫助資助和支持機器人護理師的商業化。

政府的支持和投資是日本機器人護士市場成長的關鍵驅動力。透過政策框架、財政激勵措施、與私人公司的合作和全球計劃，政府正在為機器人護理解決方案的開發、採用和商業化創造有利的環境。

限制

技術限制和可靠性問題

技術限制和可靠性問題對日本機器人護士市場的成長構成了重大障礙。採用機器人護理師的關鍵技術挑戰之一是將其與現有醫療基礎設施整合的複雜性。日本的醫療保健系統，特別是醫院的醫療保健系統高度專業化，通常涉及廣泛的醫療設備和軟體系統。機器人護理師必須無縫整合到這些系統中，以執行病患監護、資料共享以及與醫療設備互動等任務。

此外，故障風險是另一個重要問題。與其他複雜機械一樣，醫療保健機器人很容易出現技術故障，從小故障到整個系統故障。機器人護理師的失敗，特別是在執行藥物治療或協助患者活動等關鍵任務期間，可能會對患者的健康和安全造成嚴重後果。

此外，機器人護理師依靠機器學習演算法來隨著時間的推移改善他們對患者的反應。然而，這些機器人通常需要相當長的時間才能從與患者的互動中“學習”，這可能會延遲它們在現實世界應用中的有效性。與依賴多年經驗和直覺的人類照護人員相比，機器人的學習曲線使它們的適應性較差，反應較慢。因此，技術限制和可靠性問題極大地影響了日本機器人護士市場的採用和成長。

Japan's robotic nurses market is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advancements, societal needs and government support. As the country grapples with a rapidly aging population and a shortage of healthcare professionals, the healthcare robotics sector is gaining momentum. One of the most significant trends in the Japanese robotic nurses market is the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to improve patient care.

The technologies enable robots to perform more complex tasks, such as real-time health monitoring, predictive care and personalized assistance based on patients' evolving needs. AI-powered robots can also adapt to the preferences of elderly patients, enhancing their emotional well-being and increasing the acceptance of robotic nurses.

Japan's aging population is a significant driver for the adoption of robotic nurses in elderly care facilities. With a shrinking workforce and a rising number of elderly people needing care, robotic nurses are seen as an efficient solution to provide support in tasks like mobility assistance, medication delivery and companionship. These robots help reduce the physical strain on caregivers and improve the quality of care provided to the elderly, ensuring that they can age with dignity.

A growing trend in Japan's robotic nurses market is the development of collaborative robots (cobots) that work alongside human caregivers. Rather than replacing human workers, cobots are designed to assist healthcare professionals by performing repetitive or physically demanding tasks, such as transporting patients, delivering supplies or assisting with physical therapy.

Another notable trend is the development of robots that can engage in emotional and social interaction with patients. Given that elderly patients often experience loneliness and isolation, especially in long-term care settings, robots capable of providing companionship and emotional support are gaining traction.

Drivers

Shortage of Healthcare Workers

Japan is experiencing a significant shortage of healthcare professionals due to the aging workforce and a declining number of younger individuals entering healthcare professions. For instance, according to an article published in The Asahi Shimbun Company, 2024, Japan will face a shortfall of around 570,000 caregivers in fiscal 2040, when its elderly population is set to approach its peak, welfare ministry estimates showed. The estimates released July 12 showed that 2.72 million caregivers will be needed in fiscal 2040.

In fiscal 2022, there were 2.15 million caregivers. The estimates also showed that 2.4 million caregivers will be needed in fiscal 2026, meaning there will be a shortage of 250,000. The ministry compiled the number of caregivers that the nation's 47 prefectural governments, including Tokyo and Hokkaido, estimated they would need to coincide with a review of the long-term care insurance system, which is undertaken once every three years.

The Tokyo metropolitan government, for example, estimates that 258,000 caregivers will be needed in fiscal 2040, compared with 182,000 in fiscal 2022. The projected nationwide shortage in fiscal 2040 was smaller than a previous estimate in fiscal 2021, which showed that 2.8 million caregivers or around 690,000 more than in fiscal 2019, would be needed.

In addition, according to estimates by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research and other sources, the productive-age population or those between 15 and 64, will decline from 73.95 million in 2023 to 62.13 million in 2040. The number of elderly people aged 65 or older is estimated to increase from 36.23 million to 39.28 million over the same period. The nursing care industry has been losing workers due to lower average wages and other reasons. Thus, shortage of healthcare workers helps to boost the market growth.

Government Support and Investment

The Japanese government heavily invests in robotics research, especially in the context of healthcare. Significant funds are allocated to research institutes, universities and private companies working on robotics technologies for elderly care. This financial support drives innovation and accelerates the development of robotic nurse technologies that are capable of assisting in various healthcare tasks.

For instance, in 2024, The welfare ministry plans to strengthen support for introducing robots into nursing care facilities to improve work efficiency in fiscal 2025. The ministry plans to add to the list of equipment covered by its subsidies devices for nutrition management and instruments for caring for people with dementia. It will include related expenses in its budget request for fiscal 2025. Classified by the ministry as "priority areas" of nursing care include watching over care receivers, as well as helping them with bathing and bodily functions. The ministry provides financial support of up to ¥1 million (US$ 7,000) for the introduction of care robots for use in these areas.

In addition, Japan's government has adopted an ambitious "Smart Healthcare" strategy, which aims to integrate advanced technologies like robotics into healthcare services. Robotic nurses are central to this vision, offering the potential to manage care delivery more efficiently. For instance, in 2019, the Cabinet Office of Japan launched an initiative to create a "robot nation," which involves integrating AI-driven robotics in various sectors, including healthcare. This initiative is designed to harness the power of robotics to address societal challenges like an aging population, helping to fund and support the commercialization of robotic nurses.

Government support and investment are critical drivers for the growth of the robotic nurse market in Japan. Through policy frameworks, financial incentives, collaborations with private companies and global initiatives, the government is creating a favorable environment for the development, adoption and commercialization of robotic nursing solutions.

Restraints

Technological Limitations and Reliability Concerns

Technological limitations and reliability concerns present significant barriers to the growth of Japan's robotic nurses market. One of the key technological challenges in the adoption of robotic nurses is the complexity of integrating them with existing healthcare infrastructure. Healthcare systems in Japan, particularly in hospitals, are highly specialized and often involve a wide array of medical equipment and software systems. Robotic nurses must seamlessly integrate into these systems to perform tasks such as patient monitoring, data sharing and interaction with medical devices.

In additon, the risk of malfunction is another significant concern. Healthcare robots, like any other complex machinery, are vulnerable to technical failures, ranging from minor glitches to complete system breakdowns. A failure in a robotic nurse, particularly during a critical task such as administering medication or assisting with patient mobility, could have serious consequences for patient health and safety.

Moreover, robotic nurses rely on machine learning algorithms to improve their responses to patients over time. However, these robots often take considerable time to "learn" from interactions with patients, which can delay their effectiveness in real-world applications. The robots' learning curves can make them less adaptable and slower to react compared to human caregivers, who can rely on years of experience and intuition. Thus, technological limitations and reliability concerns significantly impact the adoption and growth of the robotic nurses market in Japan.

Segment Analysis

The Japan robotic nurses market is segmented based on type, application, technology and end-user.

Demand for Type Drives the Segment Growth

The Elderly Care Robots segment is expected to dominate with over 40% of the market during the forecast period 2024-2031. Japan is home to one of the fastest aging populations in the world. For instance, Japanese aged 65 or older now account for nearly 30% of the population, government data shows. Japan's elderly population has hit a record high of 36.25 million people, with those aged 65 or older now accounting for almost one-third of Japanese, according to government data.

In addition, Japan is getting ever greyer. More than 1 in 10 people in the country are now aged 80 or older, according to the latest national data. Almost a third of its population is over 65 - an estimated 36.23 million. And there are more people than ever blowing out 100 birthday candles. Japan consistently has the oldest population in the world - with significantly more people over the age of 65 than Italy, the next oldest country.

This demographic shift has created an urgent need for solutions to provide high-quality care for the elderly while addressing the challenges of a shrinking healthcare workforce. Robotic nurses, specifically designed to assist in elderly care, are playing a pivotal role in bridging this gap, enabling healthcare systems to manage the rising demand for long-term care.

Moreover, many elderly patients require assistance with physical care tasks, such as bathing, dressing or eating. These tasks are not only physically demanding for caregivers but also require a high level of personal care and sensitivity. Elderly care robots can assist with these functions, helping to maintain the dignity of elderly individuals by providing more comfortable and less intrusive assistance, while also easing the physical burden on caregivers. The elderly care robots segment is a crucial growth driver for Japan's robotic nurses market, responding to the dual challenges of an aging population and a shortage of healthcare workers.
