Virtual Reality (VR) in Telerehabilitation Market Report 2025

The virtual reality (VR) in the telerehabilitation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.8 billion in 2024 to $0.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.5%. The growth observed during the historic period can be linked to increasing demand for remote healthcare solutions, greater accessibility and affordability of VR technology, growing clinical validation of VR rehabilitation, rising support from government and regulatory authorities, and higher patient acceptance and engagement with digital therapy tools.

The virtual reality (VR) in the telerehabilitation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.1%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of telehealth, increasing prevalence of chronic neurological conditions, escalating healthcare costs and the need for cost-effective solutions, growing investment in digital health technologies, and higher demand for remote patient monitoring and home-based care. Key trends during the forecast period include advancements in AI-driven personalized therapy, development of more affordable and wireless hardware, innovations in haptic feedback and sensory integration, expansion into new therapeutic areas such as pediatrics and mental health, and the establishment of robust clinical evidence and standardized treatment protocols.

The increasing adoption of telehealth and remote healthcare services is expected to significantly drive the growth of the virtual reality (VR) in telerehabilitation market. Telehealth refers to the delivery of healthcare services remotely via telecommunication technologies, eliminating the need for in-person visits. This approach is becoming more popular as patients seek convenient, home-based consultations and continuous monitoring, reducing travel and wait times. As the demand for remote healthcare services rises, the need for virtual reality in telerehabilitation also increases, as VR can enhance the quality and effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy delivered remotely. For example, in August 2023, Vivalink, a healthcare technology company, reported that 81% of clinicians now use remote patient monitoring (RPM), a substantial increase from just 20% in 2021. Furthermore, 84% of current RPM users plan to expand their use of the technology in 2024. This growing adoption of telehealth and remote healthcare services is driving the expansion of VR in the telerehabilitation market.

Companies in the virtual reality telerehabilitation market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as sensor-based VR rehabilitation platforms, to improve therapy precision and deliver personalized outcomes. These platforms combine motion-tracking sensors with immersive virtual environments, enabling real-time monitoring of patient movements to evaluate performance, personalize therapy, and speed up recovery. For example, in November 2022, Penumbra, Inc., a healthcare company based in the U.S., launched the REAL y-Series, a hands-free, full-body VR rehabilitation platform. This system uses sensors on both the upper and lower body to allow clinicians to track full-body movement, personalize therapy, and enhance patient engagement, making it the only sensor-based VR platform for both upper and lower extremities in physical and occupational therapy.

In April 2023, XRHealth, a U.S.-based company specializing in virtual treatment rooms, merged with Amelia Virtual Care to create the world’s largest XR therapeutics platform. The merger aims to revolutionize healthcare by combining virtual and augmented reality technologies for both physical and mental health. By expanding global clinical accessibility, this collaboration establishes XRHealth as the leading provider of XR/VR therapeutic solutions, offering an integrated platform that improves patient care and outcomes. Amelia Virtual Care, a Spain-based company, provides VR solutions for mental health and psychological therapy, further enhancing the breadth of the combined platform’s therapeutic capabilities.

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) in telerehabilitation involves the use of immersive digital environments to provide remote therapeutic exercises and track patient progress.
