Published: Oct 2023 | Report Code: OMR2027775 | Category : Healthcare Information Technology | Delivery Format: /

Virtual Reality (VR) market in healthcare is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 35.3% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Growing regulatory support, increasing adoption of VR-based medical education and training, rapid technological advancements in VR technology, and growing affordability and access to healthcare are driving market demand for VR in the healthcare sector. In healthcare, VR can be used for multiple use cases such as medical training to enhance the learning experience, surgery simulation, pain management by providing immersive experience to patients, and mental health and psychological therapies. A company named XRHealth provides Virtual reality-based personalized therapy for mental health issues which helps users to de-stress the nervous system, and quiet the overthinking mind.

Segmental Outlook 

The global virtual reality for the healthcare market is segmented by component, application, and end-user. Based on the component, the market is sub-segmented into hardware, software, and services. Based on application, the market is sub-segmented into training and education, surgery, diagnostics, pain management, and mental health. Based on the end-user, the market is sub-segmented into hospitals and clinics, research institutions, and other applications such as medical schools and universities, and pharmaceutical companies. VR applications are anticipated to grow in medical schools and universities. Applications of VR in medical education enable immersive learning by providing a realistic environment. There are multiple use cases of VR in medical education such as learning anatomy which allows users to learn and visually inspection of Highly realistic 3D models of bones, organs, tissues, blood vessels, and muscles, AI-based communication learning for nurses and physicians, simulation of medical procedures for surgeons, ICU workers and nurses which enables risk-free learning. Considering the wide range of applications of VR in healthcare, the companies are also offering products that can be used in the medical education sector. For instance, a company named Oxford Medical Simulation provides AI-controlled, virtual reality medical and nursing simulation. The product provides personalized learning to learners which helps educators to provide flexible and efficient learning.

The Hospital and Clinic Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global virtual reality (VR) for the healthcare Market.

The global hospital industry has seen significant growth in recent years owing to factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing disposable income and affordability of healthcare treatments globally, growing healthcare awareness among the population, technological advancements in healthcare treatments which are helping to reduce treatment costs and growing government support in terms of policies and infrastructure investments primarily after Covid-19. With growing access to healthcare, hospitals, and clinics are also focusing on leveraging technology to improve patient experience, treatment quality, and operational efficiency. In hospitals and clinics, VR technology can be used for pain management, anxiety reduction, planning, and practicing complex patient surgeries by creating 3D models, for physical therapy and rehabilitation, to treat the mental health of patients. For instance, in August 2022, a team of international surgeons successfully separated two three-year-old twins conjoined at the heads after training and preparing in virtual reality simulations. The final operation lasted for 27 hours and involved a team of 100 medical experts. Additionally, with developments in 5G networking, the research and developments in remote surgery using VR is growing globally. For instance, In November 2019, a remote surgery operation was carried out for the first time in Italy on the 5G network of Vodafone in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and the IRCSS Hospital San Raffaele.

Regional Outlook

The global virtual reality (VR) for healthcare market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, The European healthcare sector is growing significantly due to growing disposable income and access to healthcare services. Growing government spending in healthcare is driving growth for the regional healthcare industry.
