Global telehealth and telemedicine market is projected to witness a CAGR of 15.47% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 109.61 billion in 2023 to USD 346.44 billion in 2031F. The market's growth is supported by the rise in the number of chronic diseases, expansion of the healthcare sector, digitization of healthcare, growing awareness about the various advantages of telehealth and telemedicine technologies and increasing government efforts.
The rise in government efforts to bolster product utilization is one of the crucial global telehealth and telemedicine market trends. In November 2023, the national railway company of France announced that it would deploy telemedicine services by 2028 across 300 train stations. The selected stations are in concerted development and priority intervention zones that do not have sufficient healthcare offerings. Such investments are expected to propel the market demand and positively influence the expansion of the market in the coming years.
The adoption of telehealth and telemedicine is also anticipated to increase owing to the ability of the technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with cancer care. According to a study published in JAMA Oncology in June 2024, a substantial reduction of emissions was witnessed with decentralized cancer care. In the cohort study that included 123,890 patients seen over 1.6 million visit days, the telemedicine care model reduced per-visit day emissions by 81.3% compared to the in-person care model. In the national counterfactual model, which compared decentralized care (local site care as well as telemedicine when possible) and usual care, a reduction of 33.1% in emissions was witnessed. The cohort study concluded that telehealth has the potential to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated by cancer care substantially.
Rising Collaborations to Drive the Global Telehealth and Telemedicine Market
The rise in collaborations between various healthcare companies to enhance access to different healthcare facilities in order to improve patient outcomes is expected to support the growth of the market. For instance, in June 2024, Infosys Technologies Private Limited announced partnerships with NIHON CHOUZAI Co., Ltd. and developed a mobile application for NiCOMS, allowing patients to receive medication guidance from pharmacists remotely. With this collaboration, the companies aim to enhance medical services and boost access to high-quality pharmaceutical interventions in Japan. Such developments are anticipated to enhance patient comfort by allowing patients to connect with healthcare professionals and conveniently receive medication and disease management instructions.
Rising Awareness About Advantages Associated with Telehealth and Telemedicine
The increasing awareness about the different advantages associated with the utilization of telehealth and telemedicine products and services is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market. The utilization of telehealth and telemedicine aids in providing individuals with mobility limitations access to healthcare. Meanwhile, in the case of chronic condition management, telemedicine allows the patient to connect with the doctor or other healthcare professional and aids in forming long term relationships and also get counseling and mental health assessment in case of requirement in a seamless manner.
The time and cost efficiency offered by these technologies are also bolstering their usage in different regions across the globe. According to a study published in JAMA Network in January 2023, telehealth was associated with savings in travel costs and patient time and can aid in the economic burden associated with treatments. The study included 11,688 patients with 25,496 telehealth visits and showcased that telehealth accounted for an estimated savings of USD 467,247 in lost income due to visit time and USD 11,70,160 in lost income due to driving time.
North America Accounts for a Significant Share in Global Telehealth and Telemedicine Market Share
The market growth in the region is aided by the rising prevalence of different chronic conditions, the expanding healthcare sector, and increasing investments in healthcare IT. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2024, 611,720 cancer-related deaths and 2,001,140 new cases are estimated to occur in the United States. This increase bolsters the utilization of telehealth and telemedicine technologies as they aid the caretakers of patients with advanced cancer in providing quality care to their patients by reducing the burden associated with regular hospital visits. They also aid patients in reducing various indirect costs associated with regular doctor visits, including travel expenses and loss of income due to taking time off work to accommodate medical visits and travel. Due to the advantages of telehealth and telemedicine and the increasing acceptance of remote consultation, the market is witnessing significant growth in North America in the coming years.
Software Segment Expected to Witness Significant Growth
The software segment is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years owing to the various advantages associated with their usage, including safety, convenience, and cost efficiency. Software helps effectively manage chronic diseases, monitor different health conditions, and ensure adherence to medication is practiced. Additionally, the segment's growth is also supported by the rising investments by various companies towards upgrading their software to enhance the quality of care provided to patients, propelling the global telehealth and telemedicine market. In June 2024, telehealth company TytoCare Ltd. announced that it was releasing an update for its Home Smart Clinic software to allow patients access to urgent, primary, and specialty care and make the telehealth experience seamless. The update will also increase the number of healthcare providers patients can connect with, allow patients to record vital data before the visit, and provide a link for every appointment, which will be rolled out to the patients and providers in the coming months.
Future Market Scenario (2024-2031F)
According to the global telehealth and telemedicine market analysis, the requirement for telehealth and telemedicine is expected to increase significantly over the forecast period owing to their ability to streamline the workflow of clinics and hospitals, which is becoming essential as the population expands and the prevalence of chronic diseases increases. These technologies often emphasize high-value tasks and reduce the burden associated with patient check-ins while providing coverage to individuals in rural locations with limited treatment and consultation options.
A rise in research and development activities will also support market growth. For instance, an interventional study, which is expected to conclude in October 2024, is being conducted to evaluate how telehealth exercises aid in enhancing cardiovascular health in lymphoma survivors. Meanwhile, an interventional study is also being conducted to evaluate whether telemedicine follow-ups for patients with leg ulcers and diabetes-related foot ulcers are a viable alternative to traditional follow-ups. The study is expected to conclude in December 2024.
