[Research Report] The eHealth market size is projected to grow from US$ 195.42 billion in 2022 to US$ 641.15 billion by 2030; the market is estimated to record a CAGR of 16.0% during 2022–2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

eHealth is broadly defined as the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in health. ICT has been broadly used in the form of medical health records, medical apps, and telemedicine. With the help of e-health, it is possible to electronically store the data associated with patients, staff, and finances of hospitals. This has resulted in a transformation in the means of storing healthcare data. Primarily, data was recorded manually by the healthcare staff. However, currently, a single unique identification number is required to be entered, and all the data of patients is available within seconds. eHealth offers multiple advantages over conventional methods of clinical data management, such as preventing the use of manual records and facilitating timely access to patient data. Furthermore, automated and interoperable healthcare information systems are expected to improve medical care, reduce healthcare costs, increase efficiency, reduce error, and improve patient satisfaction while optimizing reimbursement for inpatient and ambulatory healthcare providers.

Growth Drivers:

Increasing Adoption of Electronic Health Records and Rising Incentives by Federal Government Bolsters eHealth Market Growth

EHRs are becoming increasingly popular with the growing digitization of the healthcare industry. As per The New England Journal of Medicine, as soon as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act became law in 2009, the federal government dedicated US$ 300 million to help healthcare facilities adopt a nationwide health information exchange system. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) also offered more than US$ 35,000 million in incentive payments for EHR adoption. According to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), as of 2021, about 4 in 5 office-based physicians (78%) and almost all non-federal acute care hospitals (96%) adopted a certified EHR. This marked considerable 10-year progress when 28% of hospitals and 34% of physicians had implemented an EHR since 2011. As per DefinitiveHealthcare data from 2020, more than 89% of all hospitals had employed inpatient or ambulatory EHR systems.

Further, in May 2020, the US federal government proposed the Federal Health IT Strategic Plan 2020–2025 to mandate the use of EHR by healthcare providers. With the facts and statistics stated above, it is evident that the adoption rate of EHRs is expected to continue to improve during the forecast period.

The government has invested billions in training health information technology workers and founding regional extension centers to provide technical advice. In 2009, as part of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, the federal government reserved US$ 27 billion for an incentive program that inspires hospitals and providers to implement EHR systems that would enable the health data historically confiscated in paper files to be shared among providers and use to improve the health care quality.

The Medicare Electronic Health Record Incentive Program is governed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In the US, the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs offer incentives to hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare facilities for meaningful use of certified EHR technology. A qualified professional or hospital can get a maximum incentive amount of up to US$ 63,750 through the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program and up to US$ 44,000 through the Medicare EHR Incentive Program. This incentive program succeeded in inspiring many healthcare facilities to adopt EHR systems.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on components, the eHealth market is segmented into electronic health records, e-prescribing, clinical decision support systems, telemedicine, and other components. In 2022, the e-prescribing segment held a significant market share, and the same segment is estimated to register the fastest CAGR during 2022–2030. E-prescribing or electronic prescribing is a technology framework that allows physicians and other medical practitioners to write and share prescriptions to a participating pharmacy in an electronic format instead of using written prescriptions.

The segment is expected to grow during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for e-prescriptions due to the minimization of prescription errors, cost reduction, and increasing technological advancements and launches by market players. For instance, as per an article published in the British Medical Journal in December 2022, adverse drug events and medication errors are common among the aging population in nursing homes in Japan. The rising focus on reducing the abuse of controlled substances and increasing focus on reducing medical errors will accelerate the adoption of an e-prescribing system in the forecast period.

In 2022, North America held the largest share of the global eHealth market. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2030.

The eHealth market in North America is split into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The transformation of digital healthcare majorly drives the market, the increasing number of chronic diseases, and support from the federal government to implement EHR in order to improve the quality of care. Other factors, such as the introduction of advanced software technologies in healthcare, a higher number of hospitals, and the implementation of strategic government policies, also aid in promoting the eHealth market.

The US is the largest contributor to the eHealth market in North America and the world. The presence of major market players in the country, along with their developments, is likely to favor the growth of the market.

These additions are expected to help caregivers improve patient safety, enhance collaboration between caregivers across facilities, and reduce the administrative burden on clinicians across the GBIN’s combined 15 hospitals.

In April 2023, Microsoft Corp. and Epic expanded their established strategic collaboration to develop and integrate generative AI into healthcare by merging the scale and power of Azure OpenAI Service1 with Epic's industry-leading EHR software. The collaboration expands the long-standing partnership, which includes allowing organizations to run Epic environments on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.
