The global surgical simulation market size was estimated to be USD 0.398 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach at USD 2.06 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 16.14% during the forecast period 2024-2034. A heightened emphasis on ensuring patient safety, growing elderly population, increase in the incidence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), injuries, & disabilities, rising number of surgeries performed, surge in advancements in technology, an increased adoption of minimally invasive surgical procedures, a growing preference for minimal invasive techniques, an expansion of surgical education solutions, a growing recognition of additive manufacturing technology/3D printing in surgical simulation, and an increased introduction of innovative platforms for surgical simulation are some of the key factors boosting the market growth.
An increased introduction of innovative platforms for surgical simulation is predicted to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Ensuring patient safety is crucial, allowing healthcare practitioners to conduct surgical procedures without endangering patients. Simulation-based healthcare education is a modern training approach primarily designed to enhance patient safety. In simulated environments, practitioners can safely make mistakes and learn from them without causing harm to actual patients. For instance, in March 2022, MedLern, a prominent digital learning solution provider for hospitals and healthcare professionals, introduced an advanced online resuscitation training platform, named HeartCode Complete. This platform is unique in that it operates without the need for instructor supervision. Additionally, HeartCode Complete is a collaborative development powered by technology from both the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical.
By specialty, orthopedic surgery was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global surgical simulation market in 2023 owing to a rise in the incidence of orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, & knee ligament injuries, and utilization of 3D printing for creating models of bones & other musculoskeletal components proves highly beneficial in various aspects of orthopedic procedures, including diagnosis, training, & surgical planning. Additionally, neurosurgery is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing awareness regarding neurological disorders, the availability of treatment options in the market, the development of healthcare infrastructure, and the introduction of advanced systems. For instance, in May 2022, Medical Microinstruments (MMI) SpA has introduced the Symani Surgical System Simulator, developed in collaboration with VirtaMed. This simulator aims to enhance, broaden, and digitize the training process for Symani, enabling surgeons to enhance their microsurgical skills through robotic technology.
By material, plastic was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global surgical simulation market in 2023 owing to the advantages provided by plastic, the growing utilization of 3D printing technologies, and the rise in the introduction of inventive devices. For instance, in January 2022, Inovus Medical has introduced the HystAR, a newly developed high-fidelity hysteroscopy simulator. This simulator incorporates the company's patented augmented reality technology and a cloud-based learning platform, combining them with the realistic tactile feedback of simulated tissue models. The result is a highly authentic, scalable, and monitored hysteroscopy skills training experience. Additionally, metal is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the existence of regional market participants and an increasing demand for affordable surgical simulation tools.
By end-user, hospital was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global surgical simulation market in 2023 owing to the evolving healthcare infrastructure, increasing desire to improve the pre-planning of intricate surgeries, enhanced surgical results, a rise in partnerships between hospitals and industry stakeholders to create tailored 3D simulator solutions, and the introduction of advanced platforms. For instance, in November 2023, The Ethicon unit of Johnson & Johnson MedTech has unveiled an innovative AI-driven laparoscopic surgical simulation platform. This groundbreaking device incorporates augmented reality, AI-guided evaluation, and tactile feedback. Its purpose is to elevate the surgical skills and training sessions for general, gynecological, and laparoscopic surgeons. Additionally, specialty center is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing utilization of simulation techniques and the expanding collaborations between public and private sectors in the healthcare industry.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the existence of major market participants, increasing acceptance of cutting-edge technologies, and a rise in product innovation by industry leaders. For instance, in June 2023, Osso VR, a pioneer in immersive surgical training, has introduced Osso Academy, an extensive virtual reality (VR) training initiative designed specifically for academic medical centers and residency programs. Created in partnership with globally recognized surgeons and medical educators, Osso Academy delivers a carefully crafted curriculum using state-of-the-art simulation technology to offer on-demand, hands-on training and evaluation. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the expanding elderly demographic, heightened healthcare spending, widespread awareness of surgical simulation, a rise in government support initiatives, and increased partnerships among market entities. For instance, in January 2024, The All-India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) has joined forces with IIT Delhi to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Powered Simulator. This simulator is designed to train and assess aspiring neurosurgeons in the skills required for minimally invasive microscopic and endoscopic surgeries.
