Digital Health Market Analysis
The Global Digital Health Market size is estimated at USD 296.46 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 655.57 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 17.20% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
With the strike of COVID-19 and lockdowns all over the globe, the digital delivery of healthcare became more important than ever. For instance, according to the article "The European digital health revolution in the wake of COVID-19," published in April 2021, the European Commission proposed the EU4Health program as part of a COVID-19 recovery response program. The initiative aimed to raise EUR 5.1 billion for the digital transformation of the European health sector and ensure preparedness for future cross-border health threats. Thus, the increased investments by European governments toward the digital transformation of healthcare amid COVID-19 played a significant role in the growth of the studied market. Thus, COVID-19 had a profound impact on the growth of the market amid the pandemic phase.
The factors such as increasing adoption of digital healthcare, the rise in artificial intelligence, IoT, and big data, growing adoption of mobile health applications coupled with initiatives taken by the government are also propelling the growth of the market.
The grants provided by the government for the development of digital platforms and systems are also driving the growth of the market. For instance, in May 2021, the United Kingdom health tech company, my mhealth, and collaborators were awarded EUR 2.5 million in Eurostars Grants for the development of their project, named CUOREMA. The CUOREMA project will focus on developing a new, patient-centered cardiac rehabilitation support system.
Similarly, increasing adoption of technology and product launches are key factors for the growth of the market. For instance, in June 2021, MicroPort CRM launched AlizeaTM and BoreaTM pacemakers, which are equipped with Bluetooth technology for streamlined remote monitoring when paired with the SmartView Connect home monitor in Europe. These pacemakers help the cardiologists monitor the devices remotely and decrease the patient's need to travel to the hospital for a simple routine examination, thus reducing the burden on the healthcare system.
Moreover, in December 2020, Entremo deployed its product, a wristband, to remotely monitor the vital signs of patients in hospitals and nursing homes in Hungary. Additionally, in March 2021, the Spanish mobile network Yoigo launched a telemedicine service named "Doctor Go". The Doctor Go telemedicine service offers video consultations with family doctors and specialists, as well as telepharmacy services for electronic prescriptions and the delivery of medicines.
Hence, due to the abovementioned factors, the studied market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. However, security concerns regarding patient data may hinder market growth in the future.
