Digital Twin Market Trends

Adoption of Product Twin across Healthcare & Life Science to boost market growth

The incorporation of twin solutions across the healthcare & life science sector is considered one of the emerging trends. These solutions are increasingly deployed across the pharmaceutical sector to estimate the conclusion of procedures, resulting in fewer physical and real-world tests or process completions. These factors assist healthcare users in developing and authenticating drug applicants. According to the Swedish Digital Twin Consortium, product twin solutions are in the emerging phase and could be used to personalize healthcare treatment. The aim is to develop secure network models and then match those twins computationally. With the rise in awareness of digital solutions, key players are engaged in developing digital life science research and development models.

For instance, Hewlett Packard Enterprise used its supercomputer to create digital models of the brain for research purposes in collaboration with Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausannes (EPFL). Thus, growing developments and increasing demand for advanced technology in the industry will increase the digital twin market share. Additionally, digital twins technology helps improve physical product design for the entire product lifecycle through pre-analysis of the actual product in its development stage.
