Market Growth Factors

  1. The global market for nanorobots is driven by the rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, growth in demand for personalized medicine, and increase in research and development activities. Increased use of nanorobots in drug delivery systems and rise in use of nanotechnology to manufacture targeted drug delivery are expected to increase market growth. It is expected that these factors will drive market growth, with a CAGR of 9.29% projected between 2025 and 2033.
  2. Government and private institution funding of nanomedicine keeps increasing, and research is being conducted for further development of more effective nanorobots for use in a variety of medical fields. The pharmaceutical industry is also recognizing the potential utility of nanorobotics in drug development and drug discovery, with increasing progress in precision medicine and clinical testing. For example, in 2024, a group at the University of Chicago developed a nanomedicine based on STING activators that combined with chemotherapy halted tumor growth in mice.
  3. In the treatment of cancer, nanorobotics is seen as a promising technology. Medical researchers have started to use nanorobots to specifically target cancer cells to deliver anti-cancer drugs in a more efficient and less intrusive manner than customary methods. In 2024, scientists at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia reported urea-powered nanomachines reduced the size of bladder tumors in mice by 90%, leading to further investigation and investment into the use of nanorobots in oncology.
