Push-to-Talk Telemedicine and mHealth Convergence Market Report 2025

The push-to-talk telemedicine and mHealth convergence market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.54 billion in 2024 to $5.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to rising healthcare costs, increased demand for emergency medical communication, expansion of 5G and low-latency networks, growth in the number of telehealth startups, and mounting pressure on healthcare infrastructure.

The push-to-talk telemedicine and mHealth convergence market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for remote healthcare services, increasing incidence of chronic diseases, growing prevalence of eye disorders, greater emphasis on patient-centered care, and the escalating mental health crisis. Major trends expected during the forecast period include advancements in cloud security, adoption of voice-enabled artificial intelligence (AI), integration of wearable devices, incorporation with electronic health records, and progress in AI-powered telemedicine platforms.

The rising demand for remote healthcare services is anticipated to drive the growth of the push-to-talk (PTT) telemedicine and mHealth convergence market in the coming years. Remote healthcare services involve the delivery of medical care and support from a distance through digital technologies, eliminating the need for in-person visits. This demand is increasing due to patients’ preference for convenience and accessibility, as it allows them to receive medical care without traveling, saving time and minimizing exposure to infections. Push-to-talk telemedicine and mHealth convergence play a key role in supporting remote healthcare by enabling real-time voice communication between patients and medical professionals. These technologies enhance care coordination through instant connectivity, improving response times and accessibility in both emergency and routine healthcare situations. For example, in February 2023, a survey conducted by Rock Health, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, among 8,014 adults from July 12 to August 22, 2022, revealed that 80% of respondents had used telemedicine at least once, reflecting an 8% increase from 72% in 2021. As a result, the growing demand for remote healthcare services is fueling the expansion of the push-to-talk (PTT) telemedicine and mHealth convergence market.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is also expected to contribute to the growth of the push-to-talk (PTT) telemedicine and mHealth convergence market. Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions that develop gradually and often require continuous medical attention. The increase in chronic conditions is partly linked to sedentary lifestyles, as extended periods of inactivity raise the risk of diseases such as diabetes and heart disorders. Push-to-talk telemedicine and mHealth convergence support chronic disease management by enabling continuous, real-time communication between patients and healthcare providers. These solutions facilitate timely interventions and remote monitoring, which enhance treatment adherence and improve long-term outcomes for individuals with chronic conditions. For instance, in June 2024, the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK reported that 3,615,330 individuals registered with a general practitioner (GP) were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia or pre-diabetes in 2023, representing an 18% rise from 3,065,825 cases in 2022. Consequently, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is boosting the growth of the push-to-talk (PTT) telemedicine and mHealth convergence market.

The expanding adoption of smartphones is another factor expected to drive the growth of the push-to-talk (PTT) telemedicine and mHealth convergence market. Smartphones are portable electronic devices that combine communication features with internet access and computing capabilities, allowing users to perform a wide range of digital tasks. Their adoption is rapidly increasing, as affordability has made them more accessible, particularly in developing regions, enabling more people to use these devices for communication, internet access, and essential digital services. Smartphones serve as a vital platform for push-to-talk telemedicine and mHealth convergence by enabling real-time communication and supporting mobile health applications. They provide seamless interaction between patients and healthcare providers, improving the delivery of remote care and expanding the accessibility of digital health services. For example, in October 2023, the GSM Association, a UK-based nonprofit organization, reported that nearly 4.3 billion people, or 53% of the global population, were using smartphones to access the internet. Additionally, around 80% of mobile internet users were on 4G or 5G smartphones, an increase of 330 million users from 2022 to 2023. Therefore, the widespread adoption of smartphones is contributing to the growth of the push-to-talk (PTT) telemedicine and mHealth convergence market.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
