Medical Simulation Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Medical Simulation Market Analysis

The medical simulation market is projected to register a CAGR of 12.4% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.

Medical Simulation has played a critical role in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in various medical institutions. Simulation training is deployed at various healthcare institutions throughout the pandemic to refine protocols, facilitate practice changes, uncover safety gaps, and train redeployed healthcare workers in unfamiliar roles. According to the study titled "Implementation of Simulation Training During the COVID-19 Pandemic" published in the Stimulation Healthcare February 2021, in the process of responding to the pandemic, simulation was crucial. It was thought that simulation would be a good way to deal with system-based problems like identifying safety gaps, developing infection control strategies, and improving clinical management protocols due to its applications in disaster preparedness and crisis resource management. Thus, healthcare has increasingly adopted medical simulation during the pandemic in many ways showing that the pandemic has a positive impact on market growth.

The propelling factors for the growth of the medical simulation market include continuous technological advancements, increasing concerns over patient safety, and growing demand for minimally invasive treatments.

Technological advancement and innovation in health care facilities across the world have seen Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) grow as it is viewed as the most desirable surgical procedure for years now. MIS plays an essential role in general surgery as an alternative to traditional open surgery including laparoscopic techniques, cardiac surgeries, gynecology, orthopedic, etc.

According to the research article titled 'Comparison of Patient Preference, Understanding, and Sentiment for Minimally Invasive Versus Open Spine Surgery "published in Clinical Spine Surgery, February 2022, long-term outcomes, surgeon's recommendation, and complication risk were the most important criteria identified by patients when choosing between open and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Patients also perceived MIS surgery to have advantages over open surgery in postoperative pain, complication risk, recovery time, cost, and anesthesia requirement. Most patients seem to prefer a minimally invasive approach to their treatment. Patients view MIS surgery more favorably than open surgery overall. Thus, a rise in the demand for MIS is anticipated to drive the medical simulation market.

Moreover, according to the study titled "Considering simulation training to ensure patient safety for expert anesthesiologists over the age of 60 in Saudi Arabia" published in the Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia in July 2022, In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, senior anesthesiologists are still actively involved in patient care and their duties, and they feel that simulation can help them recognize and address age-related problems in their work as medical professionals. Determining incompetence, enhancing skills, and assisting anesthesiologists in making plans for their future clinical careers. Therefore, as patient safety concerns increase, physicians may use medical simulation training as a crucial component of their careers, which will increase the demand for medical stimulation products and services. The use of medical simulation devices, along with standardized patient simulators, has gained rapid growth over the last few years, mainly due to increasing technological advancements and their adoption in the field of healthcare. The METIman simulator is found to be one of the most advanced and realistic simulators in recent times, developed by the CAE simulators. Thus, the rise in various technological advancements in the field of medical simulation is increasing the applications in healthcare to train healthcare professionals, and because of this, the growth of the market studied is expected to propel over the forecast period.
