The global telestroke market size was estimated at USD 1.77 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 5.49 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.15% from 2025 to 2033. Rising incidence of stroke is anticipated to boost market growth.
According to an Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation article published in September 2024, it was estimated that nearly 11.9 million new stroke cases occurred worldwide in 2021, encompassing both ischemic and hemorrhagic types. This rising incidence highlights the growing need for timely intervention and specialist care, especially given the challenges of limited access to neurologists in many regions.
Telestroke solutions directly address this gap by enabling rapid remote consultations, faster diagnosis, and improved treatment pathways for patients regardless of their location. While the disease continues to rank among the leading causes of disability and death globally, the increasing patient volume is creating strong momentum for the adoption of telestroke services, positioning the market for sustained growth.
Moreover, as per the WHO article published in August 2025, heart attacks and strokes together account for over four-fifths of all cardiovascular-related deaths, and strikingly, about one-third of these fatalities occur in people under the age of 70. This high rate of premature mortality underlines the critical importance of timely intervention in stroke management. Telestroke services are emerging as a powerful solution to this challenge, as they enable rapid access to specialist care regardless of geographic barriers. Connecting patients in community hospitals or rural settings with neurologists through real-time digital platforms and telestroke systems can accelerate diagnosis and treatment, helping to reduce avoidable deaths and improve long-term recovery outcomes.
Rising shortage of neurologists and unequal access to stroke care drive market growth. According to the Cleveland Clinic Article published in January 2024, access to neurologists in the U.S. is markedly uneven, with rural and micropolitan communities facing the greatest challenges. In these areas, patients have substantially reduced access to specialized care studies indicate rural residents experience more than 80% lower access, and those in micropolitan regions over 60% lower access, compared to urban populations. This disparity often leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment for stroke patients, increasing the risk of severe complications or death. Telestroke services address this critical gap by connecting hospitals in underserved regions with neurologists in real time, enabling rapid evaluation, diagnosis, and initiation of therapy. Overcoming geographic barriers, telestroke programs are improving clinical outcomes and expanding equitable access to life-saving care across the country.
