The healthcare manikins market size is projected to reach US$ 7,545.53 million by 2031 from US$ 2,289.52 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 16.1% during 2023–2031. The rising adoption of simulation-based healthcare manikins for training is likely to remain a key trend in the market.
Increasing focus on the use of healthcare manikins for training in medical schools as well as in hospitals for performing medical procedures is fueling the growth of the healthcare manikins market. In addition, strategic initiatives by companies for developing technologically advanced manikins, growing focus on patient safety, and increasing demand for hands-on experience are driving the market. Increasing applications of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and 3D printing for the development of healthcare manikins are also expected to benefit the market in the coming years.
Healthcare manikins are employed as models to train nurses on how to respond to various medical scenarios and recognize clinical complications, which helps them prepare themselves for real-life emergencies in patients. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Mumbai, an esteemed institution, announced the inauguration of its state-of-the-art high-fidelity simulation lab equipped with modern technology and resources. This lab serves as a hub for training professionals from various medical disciplines through the instruction of simulation manikins, namely, Ares (male adult manikins), Lucina (female adult manikins), and Arya (pediatric manikins). Students and medical practitioners can be trained on various medical scenarios on these simulation manikins. In February 2022, Qtanea Solutions Private Limited, a healthcare startup incubated at Dr. DY Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, in collaboration with the Microbiology Department of the hospital, designed and built a 3D-printed model or manikin for the effective training of healthcare staff and newly joined residents for taking nasopharyngeal (NPS) swabs for RT-PCR testing.
One of the most common uses of healthcare manikins is for CPR training. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), ~17.9 million lives are lost due to CVD every year, i.e., ~32% of all deaths reported globally. The awareness regarding CPR is high in western countries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ~350,000 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occur in the US every year. To cite another instance, the Country of San Diego partnered with UC San Diego and launched Revive & Survive San Diego in 2024, an initiative to train one million people of San Diego on how to perform CPR for people in cardiac arrest. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India also launched a nationwide public awareness campaign on the CPR Awareness Program by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) in 2023. During this campaign, participants, including healthcare professionals, medical students, and paramedical staff, were given training in a single sitting through an online medium. These initiatives create significant demand for awareness and training of CPR to the public and professionals alike. Thus, the rising awareness and increasing number of training programs organized by government and local bodies benefit the healthcare manikins market.
Advancements in augmented reality are expected to create life-like modules for teaching and training purposes. The Mixed Reality concept by Guamard involves visualization and interaction with a specific digital clinical scenario. The use of haptics and other interactive technologies promotes a better understanding of treatments, and the feedback from haptics aids in developing better skills. Artificial intelligence is expected to provide significant growth opportunities, as robotics and interactive reactions from training manikin are likely to aid the skill development process and increase training scenario complexities, leading to better training, diagnosis, and treatment outlook. The use of 3D printing to print healthcare manikins has also come out as a potential growth opportunity. For instance, Creatz3D & AuMed 3D printed manikins were used as training aids for respiratory swab collection during the COVID-19 pandemic. 3D printing aided the production of bespoke training aids that could be designed with a limited amount of raw material. This technology can also be levied for developing training modules for complex surgeries or procedures wherein normal anatomy and physiology do not apply, and a specialized healthcare manikin is required. Thus, the rising acceptance and application of all the technologies mentioned above are expected to favor market growth in the coming years.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the healthcare manikins market analysis are product, age group, application, and end user.
The geographic scope of the healthcare manikins market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
North America dominated the market in 2023. The healthcare manikins market growth in North America is attributed to advancements in the technologies used in the development of manikins, surging implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and awareness programs, and mandates laid by regulatory bodies for high-quality healthcare and patient safety, which require advanced medical education. The US accounts for the largest share of the healthcare manikins market in North America. The usage of healthcare manikins is increasing in the US. In October 2023, the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center (CSSC) at New York Medical College (NYMC) started using gynecological task trainers, IV arms, high-fidelity SIMMan 3GPlus adult manikins, and SimJunior manikins (of various skin tones) to provide enhanced medical training to students and create a more inclusive learning environment. The new manikins with medium and dark skin tones would be more focused, reflecting all patient populations, as part of the Center's initiative.
