Augmented reality in surgery shows 3D images of the patient's anatomy over the surgeon's view through a headset or screen.
Key segments of the augmented Reality in Surgery market include product (Headsets, Software and Display Systems) and application (Spine, Orthopedics and Neurosurgery).
Demand for less invasive surgery, shorter hospital stays, surgeon shortages and improvements in robotics, imaging and AI are driving the augmented Reality in Surgery market.
Smaller and cheaper systems, outpatient surgery centres and use in emerging markets give the augmented Reality in Surgery market room to grow.
High purchase and maintenance costs, training needs and limited proof of better outcomes for some procedures hold back the augmented Reality in Surgery market.
The augmented Reality in Surgery market is moderately concentrated. Leading companies compete on product innovation, clinical evidence, pricing and geographic reach, and use partnerships and acquisitions to expand their portfolios.
There is no single global regulator; the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) helps national regulators align their device rules.[1] WHO reports that 4.5 billion people were not fully covered by essential health services in 2021.[2]
