Further, the increasing number of diagnostic telehealth platforms, shortage of physicians, and technological advancements telehealth market across the world is anticipated to bolster the market, thereby contributing to the growth of the telehealth market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.

Telehealth Market Dynamics:

The telehealth market is witnessing a growth in product demand owing to various reasons. For instance, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the prominent market drivers. In response to curbing the transmission of coronavirus infection, telehealth service has emerged as an essential component of healthcare. Moreover, the increasing interest of the government in telehealth and the ease offered by telehealth are anticipated to propel the demand for telehealth.

Additionally, increasing government funding, and the involvement of policymakers, insurers, and health systems have increased the demand for telehealth after the pandemic. For instance, according to the Telemedicine Society of India (TSI) and Practo, published report entitled Reinventing Healthcare Delivery with Telemedicine, 2020, it was estimated that India has recorded a 3X increase in the number of people using online consultations, while in-person appointments have reduced by 32 percent in between March to November 2020. Telehealth is a way to deliver care to patients in their homes to limit transmission of the novel coronavirus.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is also expected to increase the overall market growth of telehealth in the forecast period of 2022 - 2028. The patients suffering from the disorders can get a consultation from a doctor through the telehealth system. For instance, according to Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) 2022, Cardiovascular disease, which is a chronic disorder, accounts for most chronic disorders-related deaths, followed by cancers, respiratory diseases, and diabetes (1.6 million), globally. The mortality rate can be controlled by providing proper treatment and consultation to the patients. This consultation can be provided to the patients through telehealth services. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders will increase the demand for telehealth, thereby bolstering the demand for telehealth in the healthcare industry. Henceforth, increasing the demand for telehealth in the forecast period.

Additionally, telehealth offers easy consultation as it aids the patients with limited mobility. Particularly for older adults who face transportation challenges, healthcare is delivered via technology from a doctor off-site. This even leads to a reduction in the cost of treatment.

However, lack of awareness amongst the population living in remote areas and limitations such as privacy concerns may hamper the telehealth market growth.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the market for telehealth as the pandemic has increased the demand for telehealth by many folds across the globe. Stringent lockdowns rules and isolation during pandemics have increased the market demand to avoid virus contamination. Moreover, the government has increased the awareness of telehealth among the people. For instance, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2022 continued and expanded telehealth funding and reimbursement due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Due to various advantages and comfort offered by the service the people are actively adopting telehealth services. Owing to the above factors, the leading market players accelerated their development of telehealth services, thereby increasing the market demand for telehealth, in turn, propelling the market growth of telehealth during the forecast period of 2024-2030.

Telehealth Market Segment Analysis:

Telehealth Market by Type (by Product [Hardwares & Softwares and Other Products] and by Service [Teleconsulting and Telemonitoring]), Application (Telepathology, Telecardiology, Teleradiology, Teledermatology, Telepsychiatry, and Other Services), Mode Of Delivery (On-Premise Delivery and Web & Cloud-Based Delivery), End User (Healthcare Facilities And Homecare), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

In the application type segment of the telehealth market, telecardiology is estimated to hold a significant share in the telehealth market in the year 2023. This can be attributed to the increase in various cardiovascular disorders such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, congenital heart diseases, and others, globally.

For instance, as per the 2019 report from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Atlas, it was estimated that there were more than 11 million patients with cardiovascular disorders in Europe. Smoking, alcohol consumption, and levels of mean blood cholesterol are still the main cardiovascular disorder risk factors. Moreover, as per the same source, it was estimated that each year cardiovascular disease causes 3.9 million deaths in Europe. The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders will increase the demand for telecardiology in the forecast period.

Moreover, the rising prevalence of smoking in Europe is also responsible to drive the market for Telemedicine. For instance, as per the World Health Organization (WHO) 2020, it was estimated that Europe has the highest prevalence of tobacco smoking among adults and some of the highest prevalence of tobacco use by adolescents. Moreover, in the year 2019 WHO also concluded that in Europe nearly 18% of women use tobacco which is substantially more than in any other region. Chemicals in cigarette smoke cause the cells that line blood vessels to become swollen and inflamed. This can narrow the blood vessels and can lead to many cardiovascular conditions. Hence, the increasing prevalence of smoking in the region will lead to an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disorders ultimately leading to increased demand for telecardiology during the forecast period from 2022 - 2028.

Moreover, the new product launches, in turn, will also be driving the product demand in the market. For instance, in December 2020, Coala Life, the award-winning Swedish innovator of real-time remote cardiac monitoring solutions announced the launch of Coala Connect Rx. This new service is offered in the US via an online prescription process in partnership with leading cardiologists. The Coala Heart Monitor is a patch-free, smartphone-powered ECG monitor that provides diagnostic quality and real-time detection of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Data is presented simultaneously to the patient and prescribing provider. The Coala is ideal for longer-term monitoring of irregular heartbeats or cardiac issues post-Covid-19 from home.

Thus, owing to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders as well as product launches, there will be an increase in the demand for telecardiology, which in turn will drive the telehealth market growth.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Telehealth Market:

Among all the regions, North America is estimated to achieve a significant market share in the global telehealth market.

A rise in shifting focus among the population for lowering the healthcare cost and a rise in the government initiatives to launch telemedicine to provide increased access among the patient population will increase the demand for telehealth in North America, leading to a rise in the overall telehealth market growth. For instance, in March 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has broadened access to Medicare telehealth services so that beneficiaries can receive a wider range of services from their doctors without traveling to a healthcare facility during the COVID-19 pandemic under the 1135 waiver authority and Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act.

Moreover, the rise in digitalization in the region is expected to anticipate the overall market growth of telehealth. Additionally, the increasing load on hospitals to manage patient data due to the growing patient burden also necessitates the adoption of various telehealth solutions by hospitals and physicians.

Additionally, the rising demand for mobile technologies, rising adoption of home care by patients, and reduction in hospital visits in North America are expected to propel the overall market growth during the forecast period. Further, smartphones and the presence of mobile technology in the region make it possible to use both clinical and lifestyle applications to help, educate, and adopt healthy behaviors.

Thus, all the above-mentioned factors are anticipated to propel the market for telehealth in North America region.
