E-Health Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F

The E-Health Market was valued at USD 85.47 Billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 174.72 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 12.80%. E-health refers to the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the delivery of healthcare services, playing a pivotal role in improving access, efficiency, and the overall quality of care. It includes a broad spectrum of digital healthcare solutions such as remote diagnosis and treatment of physical and mental health conditions, monitoring of vital signs, teleconsultations, and electronic prescriptions. With the global burden of hypertension continuing to rise, especially in resource-limited settings, the integration of digital health tools has become more relevant than ever in supporting proactive, accessible, and data-driven patient care.

For instance, according to WHO data from March 2023, about 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 globally suffer from hypertension, with two-thirds living in middle- and low-income countries. This highlights the need for continuous monitoring of vital signs like blood pressure and glucose. Mobile device integration allows real-time data sharing with providers, improving accuracy and fueling demand for digital health solutions.

Key Market Drivers

Growing Demand for Telemedicine

The increasing demand for decentralized care, aimed at improving the cost-effectiveness of healthcare services, is driving the adoption of telemedicine and fueling the growth of the E-health industry. With the rising demand for personalized healthcare, the deployment of telemedicine is witnessing significant growth. The growing trend of preventive healthcare, coupled with the emergence of mobile health, is boosting the popularity of wearable devices and driving market growth. The introduction of favorable government initiatives to accelerate the adoption of E-health is further propelling market growth.

For example, in October 2020, the Indian government collaborated with the Dutch government to facilitate digital health facilities and security, thereby enabling the digital transformation of the healthcare sector in both countries. According to the GSM Association’s Mobile Economy 2023 report, 5.4 billion people subscribed to mobile services in 2022, with unique subscribers projected to reach 6.3 billion (73% of the global population) by 2030. Smartphone penetration, at 55% in 2021, is expected to rise to 64% by 2025. This growing smartphone adoption is anticipated to significantly boost market growth during the forecast period.

Key Market Challenges

Shortage of Qualified Professionals

The adoption of e-health services and solutions is impeded by a scarcity of adequately trained professionals. In many developing countries, both healthcare practitioners and patients are unaware of e-health. E-health overcomes barriers by employing methods that differ significantly from traditional healthcare solutions. However, its effectiveness largely depends on the willingness of end-users, particularly healthcare professionals, to transition from paper-based patient records to electronic solutions. The primary reason for hesitancy among traditional healthcare providers, especially those in developing nations, is a lack of IT knowledge.

These providers perceive the adoption of electronic solutions as time-consuming with minimal clinical benefits. Consequently, healthcare professionals are reluctant to embrace healthcare IT technology, resulting in a shortage of skilled personnel and a potential slowdown in market expansion. The growth of the e-health market is expected to be constrained by fraudulent activities, usability issues, privacy concerns, and security risks associated with e-health services. Information systems place paramount importance on privacy and security. Digitalizing healthcare services enables access to individual health information from any electronic device with an internet connection worldwide. One of the notable advantages of ubiquitous access to medical information is the improvement of patients' understanding of their conditions and the enhancement of medical care.

Key Market Trends

Advancements in Electronic Health Records (EHR)

Technological advancements and innovations in electronic health records (EHR) are driving the adoption of E-health solutions, thereby fueling market growth. Providers are increasingly striving to develop safer and more intelligent electronic health records systems to enhance accessibility, leading to rapid growth in the E-health market. The development of cost-effective EHR systems with enhanced functionality and user-friendliness is propelling the adoption of E-health services, making a significant contribution to market growth. The emergence of value-based care models is also driving the demand for E-health, further accelerating industry growth.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to automate patient information storage and healthcare professionals' data entry workload, while ensuring information access and security, is playing a significant role in industry growth. This integration is also expected to increase patient engagement by enhancing patient-oriented services, which in turn is projected to bolster market growth. The increasing research and development (R&D) activities aimed at advancing interoperability and integration of electronic health records to enhance data accessibility for healthcare professionals are anticipated to provide further impetus to market growth.
