The healthcare bpo market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the healthcare BPO market has experienced rapid expansion. The market, which was valued at $336.81 billion in 2024, is projected to increase to $372.11 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%.
This historic growth trend is largely attributable to issues around data security, the globalization of healthcare services, expansion of the healthcare industry, concerns about healthcare costs, and changes to healthcare regulations.
The healthcare bpo market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size of healthcare BPO is predicted to experience a dramatic increase and is estimated to reach $651.73 billion by 2029, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.0%.
This significant growth during the forecast period is the result of factors such as the advent of remote patient monitoring, demand for data analytics, integration of AI and automation, enhancement of revenue cycle management, and support for precision medicine. Furthermore, key trends likely to be prevalent during the forecast period include improvements in patient experience, telemedicine and remote healthcare, data safety and compliance, population health administration, and revenue cycle management.
The escalating growth of the healthcare BPO market is largely attributed to the swift expansion of clinical process outsourcing. Such outsourcing involves administrative tasks in the healthcare sector which necessitate or are enhanced by clinical knowledge. The surge in clinical trials outsourcing is due to a greater number of drugs transitioning into the clinical stages and companies reducing their personnel flock to CROs for assistance in managing their portfolios. In December 2023, based on the information provided by ClinicalTrials.gov, a web resource managed by the US National Library of Medicine providing data on clinical trials for 2022, it was reported that 437,515 clinical trials were logged in. Out of these, 56,561 completed successfully. As 2023 progressed, as of December 20, there has been a substantial increase in both the numbers of trial registrations and completions. Specifically, 476,626 clinical trials were logged in, with 61,504 of them already completed. Therefore, the swift uptrend in clinical process outsourcing is predicted to encourage the growth of the healthcare BPO market in the forthcoming years.
