Press Releases

The global healthcare simulation market is expected to reach USD 5.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period. The market is driven by factors such advantages of simulation over conventional learning, the increasing need for minimally invasive treatments, mounting healthcare expenditure, and increasing emphasis on patient safety.

Increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures to fuel the growth of the global healthcare simulation market

The demand for minimally invasive procedures is increasing to overcome the complications of conventional surgery such as fatigue, blood clots, infection, postoperative pain, and muscle atrophy. The advantages of minimally invasive surgeries above traditional open surgeries, technological advancement, expanding the geriatric population, the mounting occurrence of lifestyle-associated diseases, and reduction in healthcare cost and time are the primary reasons leading to the demand for minimally invasive surgeries, which in turn fuels the growth of the healthcare simulation market, globally.

Moreover, the swiftly progressing medical simulation market provides medical students, nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals with numerous simulation products and services with the imitation of reality allowing examination of promising changes and experiencing situations. The initiation of simulation in healthcare has drastically decreased the number of deaths owing to insecure care. In addition, the performance of clinicians has enhanced with the usage of simulation techniques.
