The growing demand for robotic processes rather than by-pass surgeries, upsurge in spinal disorders and brain-related difficulties, and growing need for cardiovascular surgery are some of the primary factors responsible for industry expansion for augmented & virtual reality in healthcare.
The increasing number of surgeries has significantly contributed to the growth of the global market in recent years. The U.S. alone has more than 1.6 million spinal procedures been performed each year. Modern technologies are being adopted in hospitals to assist the surgeons that are expected to improve the surgical outcome in patients.
Augmented/virtual reality systems help in providing 3D visualization of the patient’s anatomy to the surgeons. For instance, recently, in 2020, Johns Hopkins University surgeons used the FDA-approved vision Augmented Reality Guidance system in the spinal fusion surgery (posterior lumbar decompression, slipped vertebrae correction, and fusion) for the first time in the U.S.
COVID-19 has positively influenced the growth of the global market for augmented/virtual reality in healthcare owing to the adoption of these systems in telemedicine, patient care management, and medical marketing during the pandemic. Many critical surgeries are still being performed even during the lockdown in many countries, and many new products have been introduced in the market in recent times, which is expected to fuel the augmented reality & virtual reality in healthcare market growth.
Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The global market growth for augmented/virtual reality in healthcare will be mainly driven by the increasing number of surgeries across the world. The application of augmentation and virtual reality systems in surgeries, patient care management, and medical training and education is expected to boost the market's growth. The advancement in technology has resulted in the introduction of new products into the market, which will further increase the adoption of technology in healthcare.
More than 2,800 medical schools are functioning globally, and in the U.S. alone, there are 155 accredited MD-granting institutions, and every year more than 20,000 medical students get admission into medical schools. All these factors will cumulatively favor the augmented reality & virtual reality in healthcare market growth.
The major players in this market are launching new products and have been involved in collaborations, funding, and acquisitions in recent years. In January 2020, Augmedics received FDA clearance for the vision Spine system (XVS) that will help in 3D visualization of the spinal anatomy of a patient during surgery. Ocutrx Vision Technologies launched OR-Bot Surgery Visualization Theatre in May 2020, and this system features ORLenz augmented reality (AR) surgery headset that provides many visualization options for surgeons.
Similarly, Medicis launched an augmented reality (AR) technology platform known as SurgicalAR in 2019. XRHealth received USD 7million funding in April 2020, which will be used for the expansion of its telehealth virtual/augmented reality (AR) platform that has applications for use in patients who have multiple sclerosis, menopause, anxiety, chronic pain, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, brain injury, substance abuse, post-stroke rehabilitation, and others.
