The healthcare fraud detection market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for healthcare fraud detection has significantly expanded in the past few years. It is projected to increase from $3.62 billion in 2024 to $4.67 billion in 2025, translating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.9%. Factors contributing to the growth recorded in the historic period include increased cyber threats, patient identity verification, market competition, identification of fraudulent claims, as well as elevated awareness and training.
The Healthcare Fraud Detection market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of healthcare fraud detection is anticipated to experience rapid expansion in the forthcoming years. The market is predicted to reach a value of $13.77 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.1%.
The growth during this forecast period can be linked to several factors including regulatory modifications, increasing use of digital technology, the evolving complexity of fraud schemes, a focus on insurance fraud, and enhancements in data security. Key trends in this forecast period are the incorporation of advanced technology, real-time surveillance, behavioral analysis, the use of blockchain for enhanced security, and the verification of patient identities.
The increase in falsified occurrences within the healthcare sector is predicted to boost the growth of the healthcare fraud detection market in the upcoming years. These fraudulent events in healthcare typically involve the purposeful misrepresentation of patient information and insurance details with the motive to gain unjustly or unlawfully, or to deprive someone of their rightful entitlement. For instance, data from a UK-based financial institution revealed in 2022 that there were 207,372 instances of APP fraud throughout the year, resulting in a staggering loss of £485.2 million, marking a 17 percent decline when compared to the preceding year. Given these circumstances, it is anticipated that the surge in fraudulent healthcare events will stimulate the expansion of the healthcare fraud detection market.
