The healthcare technology market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for healthcare technology has experienced a meteoric rise lately. It's anticipated to escalate from $507.25 billion in 2024 to a more robust figure of $592.49 billion in 2025, showcasing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%.
This exponential growth during the historic period can be explained by factors such as the rise in healthcare expenses, the emphasis on patient-focused care, adherence to regulatory standards and reporting, the burgeoning need for data analytics, and the acceptance of telehealth.
The healthcare technology market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• It's anticipated that the healthcare technology sector will expand considerably in the near future, reaching an estimated market value of $1251.38 billion in the year 2029. This matches a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.6%.
The projected expansion during this period can be credited to a shift towards value-based care, increased attention to preventative healthcare, collaboration and exchange of data, the rise of remote patient monitoring, and the building of healthcare infrastructure. The period covered by the forecast is also likely to see key trends emerge such as the increased application of 5G technology within the healthcare sector, a focus on mental health tech solutions, innovation within health information systems and increased cooperation with health tech startups.
The upswing in the need for preventive care solutions is projected to fuel the progression of the healthcare technology market. Preventive care solutions are designed to identify or ward off severe diseases and medical conditions before they exacerbate. The definition of preventive care includes annual physicals, inoculations, flu vaccines, and an assortment of tests and screenings. For example, as reported by an article in a weekly podcast, First Opinion, dedicated to healthcare's influential figures, pressing matters and initiatives, 152 million individuals with private health insurance can now access free preventive services starting September 2022. This regulation is also applicable to 61 million beneficiaries of Medicare and 20 million ACA Medicaid expansion beneficiaries, along with 52 preventive services that are evidence-based, endorsed by the United States Preventive Services Task Force which comprises nationally recognized pioneers in the realm of prevention, evidence-based medicine, and primary health care. Consequently, the escalating demand for preventive care solutions is steering the enhancement of the healthcare technology market.
