Sources: Company Websites, Annual Reports, SEC Filings, Press Releases, Investor Presentation, Paid Database, and Wissen Research Analysis.Wissen Research analyses that the global healthcare IT market is estimated at ~USD 340 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach ~USD 790 billion by 2030, expected to grow at a CAGR of ~13% during the forecast period, 2023-2030.
Healthcare IT, also known as healthcare information technology, involves the development, design, creation, and maintenance of information systems in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare sectors. Healthcare IT provides many benefits and opportunities for enhancing healthcare, including improving clinical results, decreasing errors, increasing efficiency, aiding in care coordination, and monitoring data throughout time. The increase in global healthcare IT market is mainly due to the rise in telehealth and mHealth solutions demand from smartphone users, adoption of cloud technology in HCIT services, healthcare reforms like PPACA, and the growing aging population leading to more chronic diseases.
The global health crisis has led to a notable rise in the strain on healthcare institutions worldwide. Healthcare institutions are under significant pressure to establish a cohesive environment in which all medical equipment is linked internally and the facility works together with other healthcare entities. Worldometer reported about 650 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and 66 million deaths worldwide by December 5, 2022. With the increasing number of cases, many countries’ healthcare systems are experiencing a significant lack of hospital beds, healthcare workers, and essential medical supplies. Hospitals and other care facilities are being pressured to implement capacity management solutions in order to monitor COVID-19 patients and oversee disease progression.
In light of increasing demands on healthcare systems to cut care expenses, the sector is moving towards outpatient facilities to decrease costs of care. The cost of a procedure at an outpatient surgery center is approximated to be 30% to 60% lower than at a hospital for inpatients. Furthermore, ease of access is another crucial element fueling the increase of ambulatory healthcare. As outpatient settings and patient numbers grow, the need for HCIT solutions in outpatient settings will also rise.
Despite advancements in coordinated value-based care by healthcare providers, the challenge of achieving interoperability among information systems still hinders the implementation of HCIT solutions. The healthcare sector is very reliant on information, with patient data being produced in every department during care within a healthcare facility. Yet, the value of this data diminishes greatly when not seamlessly integrated to form a comprehensive and precise patient profile. As numerous HCIT tools are implemented in healthcare systems, it is crucial to enhance integration of IT systems to support accurate decision-making by healthcare providers across various care settings. Additionally, the absence of compatibility between health organizations using a regional or national health IT system for sharing information limits the complete utilization of HCIT solutions.
The rise in new medical apps and health information exchange solutions from consumer tech companies makes it hard to incorporate older solutions. Many healthcare organizations have already put money into different information management systems and medical devices from various vendors, each with their own brands and types. With the rising use of HCIT systems in healthcare organizations, there is a growing requirement to incorporate various IT systems into an organization’s IT structure for maximum efficiency. Consequently, the efficient blending of HCIT systems with other systems is a key priority for IT infrastructure development projects.
Based on product and service offerings, the healthcare provider solutions sector of the healthcare IT market is expected to experience the most significant growth. Government efforts to enhance patient care quality and healthcare services efficiency have resulted in the significant expansion of this sector. The healthcare provider solutions segment is also separated into clinical and non-clinical HCIT solutions. The clinical solutions sector is experiencing growth due to increased demand for better patient safety and care, strict regulations on healthcare provider solutions, and the necessity for integrated healthcare systems.
The healthcare providers segment held the biggest portion in the global healthcare IT market during the forecast period, according to end users. This share can be attributed to factors like strict government regulations and the necessity to enhance patient care while boosting operational efficiency. The growth of this end-user segment is being driven by the growing number of patients, hospitals, and ambulatory care centres, as well as the hospitals’ strong purchasing power.
In the healthcare IT market in 2023, North America had the highest proportion, with Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa following. The significant portion of North America’s market dominance can be credited to the widespread implementation of healthcare IT solutions, strict healthcare quality regulations, and the growing necessity to control rising healthcare expenses with the help of healthcare IT solutions.
Major players operating in healthcare IT market are Athena Health, BoomerangFX., Epic System Corporation, Dell Technologies, GE Healthcare., Optum, Inc., Change Healthcare, Wipro Limited, IBM., and Oracle Corporation among others.
