INNOPHYS’s MUSCLE SUIT® Series Surpasses 40,000 Units in Cumulative Global Exoskeleton Shipments
— Entering a new phase of widespread adoption driven by the affordable Soft Series and global expansion —
INNOPHYS CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Hachioji, Tokyo; CEO: Naotaka Otogawa), a Tokyo University of Science startup specializing in exoskeletons and assistive suits, is pleased to announce that cumulative global shipments of its MUSCLE SUIT® series (*1) surpassed 40,000 units as of April 30, 2026 (*2).
Since its founding, INNOPHYS has pursued its mission: “To achieve independent lifestyles for as long as we live.” By reducing physical strain during demanding work, MUSCLE SUIT® products have helped improve working environments and address labor shortages across a wide range of industries.
Key Drivers Behind the 40,000-Unit Milestone
Expansion of the MUSCLE SUIT® Soft Series
The introduction of the lightweight and affordable Soft Series has significantly accelerated adoption. Designed to be worn comfortably like clothing, these exoskeletons are now widely used in logistics, construction, agriculture, forestry, and caregiving applications.
Accelerated Global Expansion
Demand for industrial exoskeletons continues to grow worldwide. To strengthen its international presence, INNOPHYS established its first overseas representative office in Germany and expanded its distributor network across Europe and Asia. As a result, MUSCLE SUIT® products are now available in 23 countries and regions.
Expanding Opportunities for Hands-On Experience
INNOPHYS has enhanced product awareness through trade shows, free trial programs, and demonstration activities, allowing customers to experience the benefits of exoskeletons firsthand before adoption.
Looking ahead, INNOPHYS will continue expanding its global sales network while developing practical and affordable exoskeleton solutions. Through these efforts, the company remains committed to addressing social challenges such as aging populations, labor shortages, and physically demanding working environments around the world.
