The notable growth observed in the past is largely due to factors such as the heightened demand for transparency, growing consciousness of environmental impact, escalated demand for inventory optimization, heightened concern for data protection, and an increased importance placed on patient feedback.
The digital healthcare supply chain management market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of digital healthcare supply chain management is projected to see swift expansion in the upcoming years, reaching $6.27 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%.
The projected growth during the forecast period can be linked to factors such as the broadening of healthcare markets, the growth of telehealth, the transition to value-based care, partnerships with technology startups, and the surge in e-commerce. Key trends in the forecast period include sophisticated forecasting tools, mechanized inventory control systems, remote monitoring solutions, the application of artificial intelligence in demand sensing, and intelligent warehousing solutions.
The upsurge in cloud computing adoption is anticipated to drive the digital healthcare supply chain management market's growth. Essentially, cloud computing is the provision of computing services over the internet, such as servers, databases, storage, software, networking, and analytics. The growing utilization of cloud computing can be attributed to factors like scalability, cost-efficiency, flexibility, enhanced collaboration, and the convenience of accessing resources and applications from any location with internet connectivity. Digital healthcare supply chain management leverages cloud computing to facilitate data sharing, upgrade inventory tracking, and provide real-time analytics, resulting in improved operations and better patient outcomes. For example, data from Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based intergovernmental organization, revealed that in December 2023, about 42.5% of EU enterprises adopted cloud computing, primarily to host email systems and store files electronically. This marked a 4.2% increase since 2021. Hence, the escalating use of cloud computing is fueling the growth of the digital healthcare supply chain management market.
