The portable minimally invasive surgery simulators market size was $148.6 million in 2021, and it is set to grow at a 13.9% CAGR during 2021–2030. The progress of this market can be attributed to the rising awareness regarding the benefits of simulation-based learning, widespread adoption of laparoscopic simulation systems, technological advancements in portable MIS simulators, rapid digitization of the healthcare industry, and growing demand for minimally invasive treatments.
Moreover, due to workforce and staffing concerns, procedural prioritization, and intraoperative viral transmission risk, surgical education activities were been hampered during the pandemic. However, during the first two waves, the situation worsened due to the lack of trained surgeons and professionals. As a result of this, the government of several countries preferred virtual training via portable MIS simulators, in order to provide training to practicing surgeons and doctors in hospitals and fulfill the requirements. Thus, COVID-19 had a limited effect on the market growth.
The endoscopic category held the largest share in the market in 2021, and this trend is expected to continue in the years ahead. The rising incidence of gastrointestinal disorders worldwide is resulting in the growing demand for minimally invasive endoscopic surgeries, because of their minimally invasive nature, lower cost, and faster recovery compared to conventional surgeries. This will also lead to the fastest growth of this category in the coming years.
Medical training centers are projected to advance with the highest CAGR, of 15.9%, during 2021–2030, along with holding the leading market share. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for simulation-based training as a result of the lack of trained professionals. Moreover, the increasing emphasis on patient safety has limited the training experience for novice surgeons in the operating room. Thus, to fulfill the need for proper skill development, medical training centers are rapidly integrating portable MIS simulators into their training regimen.
In 2021, the North American portable minimally invasive surgery simulators market held the largest share, of 30.5%, in the global market. This was mainly due to the early adoption of advanced technologies by market players as well as end users here. The increasing number of collaborations between market players and healthcare associations and rising healthcare expenditure are the other major influences driving the market growth.
Over the past few years, VR trainers have been introduced for skill development in minimally invasive techniques. The specific hand–eye coordination and psychomotor skills required for MISs can be acquired using VR simulation techniques. For instance, in July 2021, Osso VR Inc. raised $27 million to train doctors and other medical professionals using VR surgery simulations.
Simulation-based learning helps turn knowledge into practice, gather measurable data on students and patients, and increase safety for practitioners and patients. In this regard, the portable MIS simulator demand has been increasing over the past few years due to the growing incidence of injuries during surgeries.
Therefore, in order to reduce the chances of complications following surgery, the demand for simulation solutions has increased over the past few years, and it is set to grow in the coming years as well.
