Healthcare IT Market Overview:
The global healthcare information technology (IT) market size was valued at $250,577.15 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $880,688.75 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 13.3% from 2021 to 2030.
Healthcare IT or healthcare information technology is a branch of IT which includes developing, designing, creating, and maintaining of information systems in hospitals clinics and other healthcare industries. For improving and transforming healthcare, healthcare IT offers numerous advantages and opportunities such as improving clinical outcomes, reducing human errors, improving practice efficiencies, facilitating care coordination, and tracking data over time. The global healthcare IT market growth is largely driven by factors such as surge in demand for telehealth and mHealth solutions from the large number of smartphone users, adoption of cloud technology related HCIT services, implementation of various healthcare reforms such as patient protection and affordable care act (PPACA), and rapid increase in aging population and subsequent rise in the number of chronic diseases.
Every day electronic health record data is increasing rapidly, and therefore, it is difficult to store the bulk data on the local storage devices, as there is chance of losing essential data. Moreover, it is difficult to share the bulk amount of data via offline mode. Hence, adoption of cloud technology in the healthcare industry becomes necessary because it allows easy sharing and storage of big data.
In addition, several government agencies across the globe have passed a range of regulations and formed healthcare reforms to promote the adoption of healthcare IT solutions in various healthcare settings which is anticipated to propel the market. Further, rise in number of product launches is anticipated to fuel the market growth. For example, in May 2021, Allscripts launched Allscripts Developer Program (ADP) Empower, a new program designed to amplify diverse voices in the healthcare technology industry and offer valuable resources to underrepresented entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and accelerate innovation.
Further, aging population is experiencing an increase, which has led to surge of chronic diseases because the elderly population is more prone to disease. In addition, rise in number strategies adopted by key players is expected to drive the market growth. For example, in May 2021, Allscripts announced an agreement with Lash Group, for Veradigm AccelRx. This relationship will enable specialty medications, supported by Lash Group, to be available for management within the Veradigm AccelRx platform, which streamlines the specialty enrollment process for users of Veradigm, Allscripts’ and other electronic health record (EHR) software vendors.
Increase in demand for quality healthcare services and solutions, surge in acceptance of mHealth and telehealth practices, rise in demand for improved patient safety and patient care, and increase in government initiatives to promote HCIT drive the growth of the global healthcare IT market. As increase in concerns regarding the patient data safety & security serve as the major roadblocks in the healthcare IT market due to the rise in cyber-attacks globally, safeguarding the patient information is a great challenge for healthcare companies. Increase in investment in the Asia-Pacific region offers huge market potential and boost the growth opportunities for the healthcare IT market.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global public health challenge and is anticipated to have a positive impact on the healthcare IT market for R&D of vaccines and antiviral drugs. The market for healthcare information technology is primarily driven by the rising incidence of COVID-19 cases globally, government mandates, support, and initiatives for HCIT solutions, the increasing use of big data in healthcare, high returns on investment for HCIT solutions, and the need to curtail escalating healthcare costs. Due to social distancing the COVID-19 pandemic is providing opportunities for telehealth solutions, social distancing is the only existing solution developed so far capable of minimizing exposure. In this regard, telemedicine and mHealth represents an attractive, effective, and affordable option.
