VR has applications in various areas like simulation, diagnostics, exposure therapy, rehabilitation, and pain distraction. VR-based simulation held the largest revenue share in 2016 in the application segment. VR simulation has gained momentum as it provides greater hands-on experience in medical education. Many medical schools and institutions are taking advantage of this opportunity around the globe. For instance, in California, the Western University of Health Sciences has transformed anatomy study with the development of a VR lab that provides students with virtual experience of the human body. Furthermore, VR in diagnostics segment is expected to emerge as the fastest growing application segment as it enables effective visualization of human anatomy and also prevents need of surgery or invasion.
North America dominated the market in 2016 with a revenue share of 43%, which can be attributed to constant technological advancement of related products, prevalence of neurological & psychological disorders, increased adoption of such advanced technologies, and presence of a sophisticated healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, growing technological advancements in information technology and government support for integration of these technologies in medical field contribute to the large share of the market.
Extensive R&D activities in the region and presence of various market players also contribute to the large share of the region. The U.S. is the largest market in the region due to higher adoption level, high healthcare expenditure, and rising government initiatives & investment. The Medical Virtual Reality (MedVR) group present at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies is sponsored by the U.S. Army and focuses primarily on four areas of VR in medical field that include mental & rehabilitation health, neurocognitive assessment & training, game-based rehabilitation, and virtual human beings.
Asia Pacific is predicted to register fastest growth over the coming years. Factors responsible for faster emergence are high prevalence of chronic diseases and tremendous increase in internet & smartphone users using AR apps. The growing healthcare expenditure and rising government initiatives for adoption of digital & advanced technologies for better outcomes are expected to further lead to market growth.
