Regional Analysis
The Americas dominated the global market for AR & VR in healthcare owing to the rising demand to reduce healthcare cost and presence of major market players.
In 2017, it was estimated that Europe stood second in the AR & VR in healthcare market. This can be attributed to the rising funding for innovation and increasing technological advancements. For instance, the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme is allocating nearly USD 91.51 billion of funding over seven years for research and innovation.
Asia Pacific was projected to be the fastest growing region in 2017. Increasing healthcare expenditure and high prevalence of chronic diseases drives the regional markets of the Asia Pacific region.
On the other hand, the Middle East and Africa held least share in the AR & VR in healthcare market due to the low per capita income and stringent government policies, especially within the African region.
