United Kingdom Digital Health Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The United Kingdom digital health market size stands at USD 15.46 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 36.84 billion by 2030, reflecting 18.9% CAGR. Continued public funding, post-Brexit regulatory autonomy, and the National Health Service (NHS) mandate for electronic patient records have accelerated technology adoption across care settings. A growing preference for data-driven decision making, the expansion of virtual wards, and rapid approvals for digital therapeutics under the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) International Recognition Procedure underpin the market’s momentum. Meanwhile, strategic investments in cloud infrastructure, interoperability, and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions reinforce the United Kingdom's digital health market as a leading ecosystem for both domestic innovators and global suppliers.

Key Report Takeaways

  • By technology, tele-healthcare led with 34.6% United Kingdom digital health market share in 2024, while healthcare analytics is forecast to expand at a 16.2% CAGR through 2030.
  • By component, software solutions accounted for a 58.2% share of the United Kingdom digital health market in 2024, whereas services represent the fastest growth at a 13.4% CAGR to 2030.
  • By application, chronic disease management held a 41.7% share of the United Kingdom digital health market in 2024, and diagnostics and decision support are advancing at a 15.1% CAGR through 2030. 

Segment Analysis

By Technology: Healthcare Analytics Drives Innovation

Healthcare analytics registers the fastest expansion at 16.2% CAGR as trusts shift from reactive to predictive care models that anticipate demand and allocate resources ahead of time. The United Kingdom digital health market size for healthcare analytics is forecast to more than triple over the next five years, catalyzed by the Palantir-backed Federated Data Platform that aggregates nationwide data for population health management. Tele-healthcare retains 34.6% United Kingdom digital health market share in 2024, buoyed by virtual-ward scale-ups and remote monitoring kits that connect patients to clinicians from home. 

Analytics solutions enable trusts to reduce outpatient follow-ups by flagging low-risk cases for virtual review, freeing capacity for complex referrals. AI diagnostic engines sift through imaging backlogs, shortening turnaround times for radiology reports and improving cancer detection rates. Meanwhile, mHealth apps funnel real-time vitals into analytics dashboards, allowing proactive interventions that curb unplanned admissions. Vendors able to integrate seamlessly into the Federated Data Platform enjoy a first-mover advantage as data governance hurdles recede.

By Component: Services Accelerate Digital Transformation

Software dominates with 58.2% share, reflecting extensive EPR, patient-portal, and decision-support deployments across hospital and community settings. Demand for services nevertheless outpaces other components at 13.4% CAGR, underscoring the complexity of change management, configuration, and ongoing optimization within a multi-stakeholder healthcare environment. The Clinical Digital Health Solutions Framework, valued at EUR 2 billion (USD 2.2 billion), consulting, implementation, and managed-service offerings into a single procurement route for trusts. 

Cloud migrations are a key growth catalyst. NHS England’s directive against stand-alone data centers has spurred contracts for infrastructure-as-a-service, bolstering the United Kingdom digital health industry’s partner ecosystem. No-code platforms such as FlowForma let clinicians automate workflows without relying on scarce developer resources, further inflating service revenues linked to training and governance.

By Application: Diagnostics Transform Clinical Workflows

Chronic disease management holds 41.7% share in 2024 as the NHS tackles long-term conditions responsible for 70% of hospital admissions. Diagnostics and decision support post the quickest rise at 15.1% CAGR, propelled by imaging AI tools, clinical triage chatbots, and evidence-based treatment algorithms. Leicester’s AI skin-lesion assessment platform cut unnecessary in-person dermatology appointments by 20% within six months of launch. 

Improved analytics quality encourages earlier detection, enabling personalized treatment pathways that reduce acute exacerbations and lower total cost of care. Administrative automation—including digital scribes and smart-routing of referrals—further boosts clinical productivity. Preventive-health apps complement diagnostics, nudging citizens toward healthier behaviors via gamified incentives delivered through the NHS App.

By End-user: Integrated Care Systems Drive Adoption

Hospitals and NHS trusts represent the largest purchaser group, channeling budgets into unified EPR suites, command-center dashboards, and advanced analytics. Primary-care practices, connected through the NHS App and shared-care records, increasingly leverage digital tools for seamless hand-offs to secondary care. Virtual-ward rollouts bring patients and home-care providers to the center of service delivery, evidencing a shift in market power toward community settings. 

ICS organizations operate as technology orchestrators, procuring platforms that span acute, primary, mental-health, and social-care providers. Their pooled budgets underpin multi-year transformation plans aimed at reducing unwarranted variation across regions. Commissioners simultaneously deploy population-health analytics to align payment mechanisms with outcomes rather than activity, a trend favoring vendors able to supply integrated clinical and financial datasets.

Geography Analysis

England remains the primary growth engine, benefiting from centralized NHS policies, the largest share of digital-transformation funding, and clusters of academic health-science centers in London, Manchester, and Birmingham. The capital hosts technology giants, start-ups, and accelerators that collectively anchor the United Kingdom digital health market, serving as a sandbox for pilots such as the Federated Data Platform and AI diagnostic pathways.

Scotland pursues its own digital strategy under NHS Scotland, spotlighted by the 1,000-bed virtual ward in Greater Glasgow and Clyde that combines connected devices with AI triage to manage complex chronic cases remotely. The nation’s emphasis on community-based care positions it as a reference site for other global health systems exploring large-scale remote monitoring. Wales and Northern Ireland, although smaller, integrate UK-wide regulatory advantages such as the MHRA fast-track route while tailoring solutions to rural geographies. 

Persistent connectivity gaps mark the rural-urban divide: just 36% of rural premises have gigabit broadband versus 75% in cities. Project Gigabit plans to raise gigabit coverage to 99% by 2030, while the Shared Rural Network targets 95% 4G reach by 2025. Successful deployments in low-bandwidth environments will unlock latent demand as virtual-care models expand beyond major conurbations.

Competitive Landscape

Market structure is moderately fragmented. Incumbent vendors such as EMIS Health, The Phoenix Partnership (TPP), Epic Systems, and Oracle Health maintain entrenched positions through long-standing NHS contracts and deep knowledge of regulatory requirements. EMIS Health’s acquisition by UnitedHealth Group drew scrutiny but was cleared by the Competition and Markets Authority, signaling continued appetite for consolidation under strict oversight. Oracle Health recently secured multiple EPR wins by emphasizing interoperability with neighboring trust systems, an attractive differentiation in an environment of budget pressure and resource sharing. 

Platform competition intensifies as providers demand end-to-end functionality spanning scheduling, clinical documentation, analytics, and patient engagement. Epic, TPP, and Alcidion position themselves as workflow orchestrators capable of integrating heterogeneous data sources. At the same time, niche innovators specialize in AI decision support, cybersecurity, or patient-experience modules, capitalizing on procurement frameworks that allow trusts to mix and match best-of-breed components. 

Cybersecurity vendors experience heightened traction because of mandatory risk-mitigation requirements arising from high-profile breaches. Start-ups offering zero-trust architecture, continuous penetration testing, and security-operations-center-as-a-service secure multi-year agreements with larger trusts. Cloud hyperscale’s partner with service integrators to host sensitive health data in sovereign-cloud instances that comply with UK data-residency policy, thereby reinforcing their footprint within the United Kingdom digital health market.
