It will grow to $314.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing healthcare expenditure, growing demand for home-based rehabilitation solutions, wider integration of VR in neurological recovery, expanded insurance coverage for digital therapies, and greater focus on patient-centric treatment. Key trends in the forecast period include innovations in wearable rehabilitation devices, advancements in artificial intelligence integration, increased investment in research and development for personalized therapies, development of gamified rehabilitation exercises, and progress in remote monitoring and tele-rehabilitation.

The increasing use of digital health solutions is expected to drive growth in the virtual reality stroke rehabilitation market in the upcoming years. Digital health solutions leverage technology to improve healthcare delivery, enhance patient outcomes, and simplify health management. The rise in adoption is due to the convenience of accessing healthcare remotely and better patient engagement. Virtual reality stroke rehabilitation represents a digital health solution by offering immersive, technology-based therapy with tailored exercises and remote monitoring, facilitating more effective recovery after a stroke. For example, the American Hospital Association reported that 86.9 percent of US hospitals provided telehealth services in 2022, up from 86 percent in 2021, demonstrating the growing integration of digital health. Consequently, the expanding adoption of digital health solutions is fueling growth in the virtual reality stroke rehabilitation market.

Key players in the virtual reality stroke rehabilitation market are focusing on advancements in virtual reality technology, such as immersive VR rehabilitation, to boost patient engagement, enhance motor function recovery, and deliver personalized, interactive therapy sessions. Immersive VR rehabilitation is a cutting-edge therapy method that uses virtual reality technology to create simulated, engaging environments where patients perform physical, cognitive, or psychological exercises. For instance, in November 2022, Penumbra Inc., a US medical technology company, launched the REAL System, a hands-free full-body virtual reality platform featuring motion-capture exercise tracking, customizable therapy plans, and real-time performance feedback. This solution offers a comprehensive rehabilitation experience for stroke patients and highlights how companies are utilizing virtual reality technology to improve outcomes and operational efficiency in stroke rehabilitation.

In May 2022, Winning Brands Corporation, a Canada-based firm known for developing and distributing advanced cleaning solutions, acquired the assets and immersive gesture control business of GestureTek Systems Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables Winning Brands to expand into the technology sector by capitalizing on GestureTek’s innovative gesture control technology and established brand presence. GestureTek Systems Inc., also based in Canada, specializes in gesture-controlled virtual reality solutions for healthcare, rehabilitation, and interactive applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.

Virtual reality (VR) stroke rehabilitation is a technology-based therapy that employs immersive or semi-immersive VR environments to assist stroke patients in regaining motor, cognitive, and functional abilities. It aims to deliver engaging, repetitive, and task-specific exercises that promote neuroplasticity, enhance motor coordination, and accelerate functional recovery.

The primary rehabilitation types of virtual reality (VR) stroke rehabilitation are physical rehabilitation and cognitive rehabilitation. Physical rehabilitation involves VR-based exercises and simulations designed to improve motor function, coordination, and overall physical recovery in stroke patients. These solutions incorporate hardware, software platforms, and therapeutic content, and are suitable for both short-term and long-term patients. VR applications include motor skills training, cognitive skills training, sensory training, and pain management, with key end-users such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, clinics, and home-based rehabilitation settings.
