Market Overview:
The global healthcare head mounted display market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for advanced technology in the medical sector and rising awareness about head mounted displays among healthcare professionals. Based on type, the global healthcare head mounted display market is segmented into helmet mounted displays and eye wear displays. The helmet mounted display segment is expected to account for a larger share of the market in 2018 owing to its growing popularity among surgeons for performing surgeries. However, the eye wear display segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period as it offers several advantages such as hands-free operation and better situational awareness than helmet-mounted displays. Based on application, the global healthcare head mounted display market is divided into surgery, training, and others (diagnostics/treatment planning).

Product Definition:
A healthcare head mounted display is a device that is worn on the head and is used to provide information to the wearer. This information can include anything from images of the wearer's surroundings to data about their health. The importance of healthcare head mounted displays lies in their ability to provide wearers with information that they would not be able to access otherwise. For example, they can allow physicians or surgeons to see what a patient sees during surgery, which can help them make better decisions. Additionally, they can be used by patients themselves in order to keep track of their own health or even consult with doctors remotely.
Helmet Mounted Display:
Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) is a device that displays information in the form of video, text or graphic on the transparent visor which is mounted on the rider's helmet. The display unit can be connected to a computer as well as to other devices such as Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). HMDs are used by military personnel for enhanced viewing experience while operating in dangerous areas along with search & rescue operations.
Eye Wear Display:
The eye wear display is a part of HMD that allows the user to see the screen in front of them while using their hands and other body parts to interact with it. The healthcare head-mounted display market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for telemedicine, rising geriatric population base, and growing awareness regarding virtual visits.
Application Insights:
Based on application, the global healthcare HMD market has been segmented into surgery, training and others. The surgery segment dominated the overall market in terms of revenue in 2017. This can be attributed to an increase in demand for minimally invasive surgeries with advanced equipment such as HMDs that provide real-time visualization for surgeons. Furthermore, rising adoption of these devices during cardiac and neurosurgeries is expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
The training application segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in demand for medical education coupled with technological advancements that have led to a reduction in cost associated with its usage.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global healthcare HMD market in 2017. The presence of major players, favorable reimbursement policies, and increasing adoption of head mounted displays for training purposes are some factors expected to drive the regional demand over the forecast period. Europe accounted for a significant share in terms of revenue due to growing investments by companies such as Google and Microsoft Corporation in developing eye-wear based HMDs.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to rising product development initiatives undertaken by key industry participants along with increasing government spending on healthcare infrastructure is expected drive regional demand during the forecast period. Japan has been observed making considerable investments towards R&D activities relatedto medical devices & systems which includes HMDs thus contributing significantly towards regional growth rate over past few years (Yoshida et al., 2016).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries: The global healthcare head mounted display market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 16% during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, which is resulting in the need for better visualization and magnification capabilities.
- Growing popularity of head-mounted displays in medical education: Head-mounted displays are increasingly being used in medical education to provide a more immersive learning experience. This is helping to train new surgeons and other healthcare professionals on how to use these devices safely and effectively.
- Rising number of surgical procedures using head-mounted displays: The number of surgical procedures that make use of head-mounted displays is growing rapidly, as these devices offer several advantages over traditional methods such as improved visualization, magnification, and precision accuracy.
- Advances in technology leading to better quality HMDs: Rapid advances in technology are resulting in the development of better quality HMDs with enhanced features such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), 3D imaging, etc., which are attracting more consumers towards this market segment.
