The augmented reality in health care market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.05 billion in 2024 to $3.95 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to enhanced surgical procedures, medical training and education, patient care and treatment planning, remote assistance and telemedicine, diagnostic imaging enhancements.
The augmented reality in health care market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to widespread adoption in rehabilitation, expanded use in mental health treatment, patient engagement and adherence. Major trends in the forecast period include are-based diagnostic imaging, pharmaceutical research and development, AR wearables for health monitoring, enhanced mental health support, integration with electronic health records (EHR).
The anticipated growth of the augmented reality in the healthcare market is closely tied to the increasing geriatric population expected in the years ahead. The global elderly population is on a rapid upward trajectory, a trend forecasted to persist throughout the forecast period. With this demographic shift comes a heightened susceptibility to various diseases and ailments that often necessitate surgical interventions. The integration of augmented reality (AR) in surgical procedures emerges as a valuable tool, enabling surgeons to visualize a patient's anatomy concurrently with their MRI and CT scan data. As an illustration, the Physical Review B (PRB) Journal notes that by 2060, the number of Americans aged 65 and above is projected to nearly quadruple, reaching 95 million and constituting 23% of the total population. Consequently, the increasing geriatric population stands as a significant driver propelling the growth of the augmented reality in healthcare market.
The increasing prevalence of robotic surgeries is anticipated to drive the growth of augmented reality in the healthcare market. Robotic surgeries, characterized by the use of robotic systems to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures with precision and control, have become more widespread. Augmented reality (AR) plays a crucial role in these procedures by overlaying real-time patient data, thereby enhancing surgical precision and providing guidance for improved outcomes. According to the Royal College of Surgeons of England, a UK-based provider of advanced surgical care, the year 2022 witnessed over 1.8 million procedures utilizing robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), with this number steadily on the rise. As a result, the increasing prevalence of robotic surgeries stands as a key factor propelling the growth of the augmented reality in the healthcare market.
New product introductions are significantly influencing the AR market in healthcare. Key players in the AR healthcare sector are concentrating on innovative product developments to enhance treatment accuracy. For example, in July 2022, Enovis, a medical technology company based in the Netherlands, unveiled ARVIS, an augmented reality visualization and information system, which has successfully completed over 200 cases in the US. This FDA-cleared system is unique as the only proprietary, hands-free AR technology designed specifically for orthopedic surgeons. It provides real-time, precise guidance during hip and knee surgeries, enabling surgeons to visualize and carry out procedures with augmented support. ARVIS aims to enhance surgeons' access to information, boost their confidence, and deliver a more integrated surgical experience, fitting seamlessly into their workflow without needing intrusive or unnecessary equipment.
Major companies in the augmented reality healthcare market are prioritizing technological advancements like image-guided therapy platforms to address changing demands and strengthen their competitive position. An image-guided therapy platform utilizes real-time imaging to support medical procedures and interventions with precision and accuracy. For instance, in March 2024, Fresenius Medical Care, a Germany-based healthcare firm, launched an Augmented Reality (AR) application to facilitate training for nursing staff involved in Kidney Replacement Therapy in Intensive Care Units. The AR glasses, paired with digital learning modules, enable nursing staff to learn how to operate acute dialysis machines on-site within the intensive care wards. The glasses stream visual and audio recordings as users engage with the dialysis machine, offering professionals an immersive learning experience.
In November 2022, a collaboration was formed between GE HealthCare Technologies Inc., a manufacturing company based in the United States, and MediView XR. This partnership is geared towards assisting physicians in enhancing the assessment of a patient's anatomy using augmented reality, offering a more intuitive visualization experience in contrast to conventional 2D X-rays. MediView XR, a U.S.-based company specializing in the development and production of cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) solutions for medical procedures, is a key participant in this initiative.
