The global healthcare/medical simulation market size is estimated to reach USD 5.25 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., rising at a CAGR of 16.3% during the forecast period. Rapid technological advancements, spiraling demand for minimally invasive treatment procedures, and increasing focus on patient safety are providing a fillip to the market.
Patient safety is one of the rising concerns in the healthcare industry due to increasing death rate from medical errors. For instance, as per a study published in 2016 by patient safety researchers in the British Medical Journal, medical errors in hospitals and other healthcare facilities are reported to be the 3rd leading cause of deaths in the U.S. Simulation provides opportunity to sharpen skills and develop expertise for safe and reliable system performance. High risk situations in military and aviation operations require specialized and polished skills for handling emergency situations. Thus, simulated settings help practitioners learn from mistakes by avoiding harm caused to patients. Therefore, growing focus on patient safety is expected to drive the healthcare simulation market.
Moreover, simulation-based medical learning and training can be valuable in clinical practice. These processes and systems can offer safe and controlled circumstances in which a problem-based learning is encouraged. Such factors are anticipated to bolster the growth of the market.
