Additionally, web-based simulators is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to regulated and anticipated learning environments, with managed entry to simulation procedures.
By technology, procedure rehearsal technology was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global medical simulation market in 2023 owing to the increasing frequency of medical errors, driving a heightened demand for patient safety, the continuous progress in technological advancements, and a surge in the unveiling of sophisticated platforms. For instance, in October 2022, Intelligent Ultrasound introduced BodyWorks Eve, designed for beginners to receive training in ultrasound skills. BodyWorks Eve, a female patient simulator, offers an exceptionally realistic experience suitable for interactive Point of Care Ultrasound scenario training. Additionally, virtual patient simulation is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the ongoing research and development initiatives are being conducted to introduce digital healthcare technologies, including robotics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 3D printing or nanotechnology. These technologies find numerous applications in medical school curricula. Key players in the virtual patient simulation industry encompass 3D Systems, Simulab Corporation, Simulaids, and Surgical Science Sweden AB.
By end-user, academic institutes was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global medical simulation market in 2023 owing to various academic research groups are engaged in studying intricate biological systems through computer models, and a growing emphasis on creating innovative systems. For instance, in June 2022, Medacta and InSilicoTrials have joined forces to collaborate on the development and validation of a new product from InSilicoTrials. The focus is on enhancing the design and manufacturing of orthopedic devices. InSilicoTrials is actively working on InSilico3DPRINT, a simulation tool that Medacta will validate using prototypes of different new products. Additionally, hospitals is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to a gradual transition towards advanced learning, facilitated by the emergence of sophisticated simulation-based technologies. Full incorporation of simulation models in medical surgeries is underway, with an increased emphasis on error reduction and the cost-effectiveness of procedural training for medical physicians.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the presence of key market players, substantial investments in technology, swift technological advancements, an increasing demand for hands-on patient training from healthcare professionals, a rise in the request for virtual and online training, and an increase in the unveiling of advanced simulation devices. For instance, in January 2022, Gaumard Scientific Co., a prominent figure in simulation technology for healthcare education and training, revealed HAL S5301, acknowledged as the most advanced multidisciplinary patient simulator globally, at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH). Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the continuous enhancements in healthcare infrastructure, increased uptake of healthcare facilities, rapid expansion of manufacturing facilities, and a surge in the introduction of innovative programs by key industry players. For instance, in March 2022, MedLern, a top digital learning solution provider for hospitals and healthcare professionals, introduced an advanced online resuscitation training platform named HeartCode Complete. Notably, this program, developed in collaboration with and powered by American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical technology, operates without the need for instructor supervision.
