The anatomical models market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, the size of the anatomical models market has consistently expanded. It is expected to surge from $53.3 billion in 2024 to $55.13 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%.
Factors that contributed to the growth in the historic period include technological advances in 3D printing, an increasing interest in authentic medical guidance tools, the development of healthcare infrastructure, the incorporation of online teaching strategies, and a need for more practical learning experiences.
The anatomical models market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of anatomical models is predicted to experience consistent growth in the forthcoming years, reaching a value of $62.16 billion in 2029 with a CAGR of 3.0%.
This predicted growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as fast prototyping techniques, robust integration capabilities, quick reconstruction of anatomical models, heightened emphasis on individual medical education, and the use of augmented reality (AR) in medical learning. The key trends projected for this period echo the same factors, including the swift prototyping methods, powerful integration abilities, fast reformation of anatomical models, increasing stress on tailor-made medical education, and the adaptation of augmented reality (AR) in medical teaching.
The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is predicted to fuel the expansion of the anatomical models' market in the future. Chronic diseases are those that are long-standing and often can't be entirely eradicated but can be managed through alterations in lifestyle, medicines, and other treatments. The growing incidence of these diseases is attributed to an aging population, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, and tobacco consumption. Anatomical models play a crucial role in chronic diseases by enhancing patient awareness, facilitating effective communication between healthcare providers and patients, and serving as visual aids for better comprehension. For example, the World Health Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Switzerland, reported in September 2022, that there were 41 million deaths annually worldwide, constituting 74% of deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases. Out of these, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 17.9 million deaths, cancer for 9.3 million deaths, chronic respiratory diseases for 4.1 million deaths, and diabetes for 2.0 million deaths. Consequently, the escalating incidence of chronic diseases is stimulating the growth of the anatomical model market.

Key players in the anatomical models market are pioneering novel technological utilities, like the complete anatomy female model, to cater to the assorted demands of medical education, scientific research, and clinical applications. The complete anatomy female model offers a comprehensive and detailed 3-dimensional depiction of female human body structures, encompassing the skeletal system, muscular system, internal organs, blood vessels, nervous systems, and other physical structures. As an example, in January 2022, Elsevier, a publisher based in the Netherlands, unveiled its complete anatomy female model. This revolutionary 3D solution signifies a pivotal turning point in achieving equitable education with the inclusion of the complete female anatomy, thereby confronting gender bias in medical education and healthcare. The model is meticulously crafted to reflect the female demographic, zooming in on the thorax, pelvis, abdomen, and the entire body, with team members frequently seeking feedback from their female peers.
