Surgery Simulators Market Dynamics
The surgery simulators market growth is driven by the high adoption of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, an increasing number of surgeries globally, upsurging emphasis on patient safety and outcomes.
The increasing number of surgeries performed globally is expected to drive the global surgery simulators market growth.
The minimally invasive techniques are becoming the standard of surgical techniques for many surgical procedures quickly. These MIS procedures involve smaller incisions leading to quicker recovery, which helps grow the overall market. For instance, according to Kalorama information, 232 million surgical procedures occur globally as of 2016, of which 20% happens in the United States, indicating a huge healthcare market.
High adoption of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies is expected to drive the global surgery simulators market growth.
The most significant trend in the surgical simulation market is augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in such systems to provide better training. For instance, VirtaMed AG and KARL STORZ SE & Co. KG introduced LapTrainer, a mixed reality simulator, in February 2020. Via repeating, short simulation sequences, the system offers medical trainees and professionals increased efficiency in their skills. In the same vein, in January 2019, ImmersiveView Surgical Planning (IVSP) was launched by ImmersiveTouch Inc. This is a suite of real-time, VR-integrated solutions for patient engagement, personalized surgical planning, and surgical training. Apart from bettering the patient outcomes, the IVPS has also been designed to speed up the surgery, reduce costs, and enhance pre-operative planning.
High operating costs and operational challenges are likely to hamper market growth.
High operating costs and operational challenges are the major challenges for the growth of the surgical simulators market. The simulation can be used with commercially available computer gaming hardware that currently costs USD 1,500. In addition, a simulation center requires between $12,000 to $300,000 annually for consumable materials, such as surgical supplies, maintenance, upgrades, and other administrative overhead costs.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to impact the needle counter market negatively. Following the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries globally, and the World Health Organization has declared it a public health emergency. According to the World Health Organization’s report, the coronavirus (COVID-19) manifestation has resulted in more than 52.7 million infected individuals worldwide as of November 13, 2020. COVID-19 has affected every market globally and has also impacted the global needle counters market in the following ways; by directly affecting production and demand, creating disruptions in distribution channels, and its financial impact on firms and financial markets.
Surgery Simulators Market Segment Analysis
The laparoscopic segment is expected to hold the largest share in this market segment.
Surgeons are found shifting to MIS, primarily laparoscopy and robotic surgery from open surgery. However, the MIS, primarily laparoscopy and robotic surgery, require skilled surgeons to deliver successful procedures. There has been rapid adoption of the MIS in cholecystectomy, appendectomy, gastric bypass, ventral hernia repair, colectomy, prostatectomy, tubal ligation, hysterectomy, and myomectomy procedures. Thus, the increasing MIS surgeries and the need for skilled professionals have propelled the laparoscopic surgical simulators market.
The academic & research institutes segment is expected to hold the largest share in this market segment.
The academic & research institutes classification, based on end-user, is predicted to witness the fastest growth in the surgical simulation market in the immediate future. This would be because of the consistently high demand for simulators to enhance residents' surgical skills before they start operating in reality. Furthermore, the number of such educational institutes is rising, and the government in various countries is offering funds to academic and research institutes to procure advanced surgical training equipment.
Surgery Simulators Market Geographical Share
North America region holds the largest market share of the global surgery simulators market.
Historically, North America was the largest integrator of simulation solutions in the medical training domain, as equipment and software vendors are increasingly collaborating with research and medical centers. Further, with the rising healthcare expenditure and surgery volume, all types of establishments, from research institutes to hospitals, are procuring simulators. For instance, On August 6, 2019, Mentice AB, a world leader in simulation solutions for endovascular therapies, introduced a software subscription for its VIST endovascular simulation platform to hospitals and health systems. For instance, in July 2019, an ultrasound-guided shoulder injection trainer was introduced by Limbs & Things Ltd. It offers training for common shoulder issues related to the subdeltoid bursa, glenohumeral joint, biceps tendon sheath, and acromioclavicular joint to specialist trainees and postgraduates.
In the same vein, in November 2018, 3D Systems Corporation unveiled its Simbionix ARTHRO Mentor Express training simulator.
