Telehealth Global Market Report 2024

The telehealth market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $135.59 billion in 2023 to $175.3 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including robust growth in emerging markets, increased spending on pets, supportive government initiatives, and a rise in the penetration of pet insurance.

The telehealth market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $445.8 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.3%. The growth is driven by rising pet ownership, increased consumption of animal-based products, and urbanization. Key trends include adopting advanced tech such as AI, expanding facilities, forging partnerships, and launching new veterinary telehealth services to boost financial prowess and product range.

The telehealth market is anticipated to witness substantial growth, primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and hypertension. Factors such as prolonged working hours, limited physical activity, and unhealthy lifestyle choices contribute to the rising incidence of chronic diseases, necessitating the use of telehealth platforms. As of September 2023, the World Health Organization reported 41 million deaths annually, with 74% attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally. Cardiovascular diseases accounted for 17.9 million deaths, cancer for 9.3 million, chronic respiratory diseases for 4.1 million, and diabetes for 2.0 million deaths. This surge in chronic diseases is expected to drive the demand for telehealth services.

The continuous growth in the geriatric population is identified as another significant factor fueling the expansion of the telehealth market. The elderly population is more susceptible to long-term care and various chronic conditions, including cardiology and orthopedics. According to the World Health Organization, the global population aged 60 and above is estimated to reach 2 billion, almost doubling from 12% to 22% of the overall population by 2025. This demographic, predisposed to chronic diseases, will significantly contribute to the market's growth. Despite this, only 17% of consumers worldwide are aware that their health system or insurance provider offers telehealth or virtual health services as an alternative to traditional healthcare settings.

Healthcare service providers are increasingly forming collaborations and partnerships with startups and technology companies to enhance their service offerings. In March 2021, virtual care provider Doctor On Demand announced plans to merge with healthcare quality and navigation leader Grand Rounds. This integration aims to create a comprehensive virtual care company, offering patients and providers a full suite of digital and interactive solutions. The merged entity will leverage Grand Rounds’ data-driven clinical navigation platform and patient advocacy tools along with Doctor On Demand’s leading virtual care services.

Leading companies within the telehealth market are actively engaged in the development of advanced solutions, exemplified by the introduction of the Virtual Care Management suite. This strategic focus aims to enhance and broaden their portfolio in response to the escalating demand for comprehensive and efficient telehealth services. The Virtual Care Management suite stands out as a solution enabling robust patient engagement and connectivity, thereby alleviating pressure on hospital staff and optimizing the management of chronic diseases. In March 2023, Koninklijke Philips N.V., a prominent health technology company based in the Netherlands, unveiled the Philips Virtual Care Management suite. This versatile offering comprises a range of solutions and services designed to facilitate more engaging and meaningful connections with patients. The suite is tailored to meet the needs of health systems, providers, payers, and employer groups, providing them with the tools to effectively motivate and connect with patients, regardless of their location. Leveraging Philips Virtual Care Management allows organizations to mitigate the strain on hospital staff, reduce emergency department visits, and enhance the management of chronic diseases, ultimately leading to cost savings in healthcare delivery.

Prominent companies in the telehealth sector are actively developing advanced solutions, particularly in remote monitoring. For example, in April 2020, technology company Royal Philips, engaged in healthcare, lighting, and consumer well-being markets, introduced the Avalon CL Fetal and Maternal Pod and Patch for remote monitoring. This wireless solution is designed to minimize physical contact between physicians and patients, a crucial consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2021, Everlywell successfully acquired the telehealth company PWNHealth and its subsidiary Home Access Health for an undisclosed amount. Following the acquisition, a new parent company named Everly Health was formed. As part of this restructuring, PWNHealth will be rebranded as Everly Health Solutions and will function as an independent subsidiary of Everly Health. Importantly, PWNHealth will maintain complete data independence from Everlywell. PWNHealth operates a national telehealth network specializing in diagnostic testing and has been the primary partner for clinical oversight and telehealth services for Everlywell. Home Access Health, the subsidiary, plays a role in informing consumers about their health through self-collected lab tests.
