Regional Wise Analysis:
Geographically, the Americas is expected to dominate the global mixed reality in healthcare market due to the increasing per capita healthcare expenditure, and the heavy adoption of new technology. According to the research published in 2016 by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, it was estimated that if all US hospitals increased the number of minimally invasive procedures by 50%, nearly 3,600 complications could be avoided annually. Furthermore, rising expenses in research and investment by healthcare bodies are anticipated to drive the growth of the market in this region.
Europe showed a considerable amount of growth in the global mixed reality in healthcare market. The market growth in this region is because of the presence of a well-established healthcare system and increase in chronic diseases.
Asia-Pacific is expected to have a sturdy growth rate during the forecast period owing to the huge patient pool and government initiatives of healthcare reforms. In 2016, as a part of an ongoing neurosurgical collaboration between Children’s Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) and Children’s of Alabama Hospital, a Virtual Interactive Presence and Augmented Reality (VIPAR) telecommunication system was implemented at both hospitals to provide intraoperative assistance to medical professionals. However, less capital investment is restricting the market growth of this region.
On the other hand, the Middle East & Africa has the least share of the market due to the low disposable income. Moreover, limited access to treatment facilities is also expected to curb the growth of the market in the near future.
