The rising burden of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the population health management market going forward. Chronic diseases are long term health conditions that require continuous medical attention and ongoing management. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is largely attributed to aging populations, as older individuals are more likely to suffer from multiple chronic conditions that demand sustained healthcare oversight. This growing burden heightens the need for coordinated care models, preventive health initiatives, and data driven interventions to effectively manage patient populations while controlling healthcare costs. For instance, in June 2024, according to the National Health Service, a UK-based government department, in 2023 the NHS identified more than 549,000 additional people in England at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, increasing the total number of individuals with non-diabetic hyperglycemia registered with a general practitioner to 3,615,330, compared with 3,065,825 in 2022. Therefore, the rising burden of chronic diseases is contributing to the growth of the population health management market.
