IoT in Healthcare Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Component (Medical Devices, System & Software, Services and Hardware), Technology, Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global IoT in Healthcare Market is accounted for $132.34 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $293.46 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 19.8% during the forecast period. The Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare refers to the integration of connected devices, sensors, and systems within the healthcare ecosystem to collect, transmit, and analyze data for various healthcare applications. IoT devices enable continuous monitoring of patients' vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and glucose levels, in real time. This data is transmitted to healthcare providers, allowing for early detection of health issues and timely interventions.

According to the U.S. CDC data, in the first quarter of 2020, Telehealth visits increased by 50% compared to the same period in 2019.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising advancements in wearable technology

Wearable technology enables remote monitoring of patients & reduces the need for frequent in-person visits. This is especially valuable for patients with chronic illnesses, elderly individuals, or those recovering from surgery. It improves patient engagement and adherence. By enabling remote monitoring and early intervention, wearables can potentially reduce hospital readmissions and emergency room visits. In addition, factors such as personalized healthcare, enhanced post-operative care, chronic disease management and real-time health monitoring are fuelling the market demand.

Restraint:

Lack of standardization

The lack of standardization in the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, particularly in the healthcare sector, can have significant impacts on the adoption, interoperability, and effectiveness of IoT solutions. Different IoT devices and platforms may use proprietary protocols or communication standards. Without standardized interfaces, it becomes difficult to ensure seamless communication and data exchange between different devices, systems, and applications. It further raises security risks, compliances issues, limited choice and fragmented ecosystems which hinder the market growth.

Opportunity:

Growing smart healthcare facilities

Smart healthcare facilities play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare. IoT-enabled smart facilities can provide a more seamless and personalized experience for patients. IoT sensors and devices can monitor the usage of resources such as energy, water, and medical supplies. Also, it enables real-time location tracking and telemedicine support. Further, its healthcare asset management, predictive maintenance and optimized resource utilization are boosting the market demand.

Threat:

Security and privacy concerns

Healthcare data is highly sensitive, containing personal information about patients. Breaches can lead to unauthorized access and other privacy risks. IoT devices can be vulnerable to cyber attacks, including malware, ransomware, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Compromised devices can lead to data theft or manipulation. Insecure Wi-Fi networks or inadequate network security can expose vulnerabilities in the communication between IoT devices, making them susceptible to interception or tampering. Therefore, this element is hampering the market demand.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the IoT in healthcare market. To minimize the risk of virus transmission, there was a preference for contactless healthcare solutions. IoT-enabled devices, like touch less thermometers and smart kiosks for check-ins, gained popularity in healthcare facilities. IoT-generated data was used for data analytics and modeling to understand the spread of the virus, predict outbreaks, and plan healthcare resources accordingly. The adoption of IoT in healthcare, particularly in areas like telemedicine and remote monitoring, is likely to have long-lasting effects. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption and innovation of IoT in healthcare.

The telemedicine segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The telemedicine segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. The integration of telemedicine and IoT in healthcare enhances the quality of care, increases accessibility, and empowers patients to take a more active role in their own health management. Telemedicine combined with IoT solutions can be easily scaled to accommodate a growing number of patients. Its timely interventions, personalized treatment plans and enhanced efficiency boosts the segment growth.

The hospitals & clinics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The hospitals & clinics segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its continuous patient monitoring. Health IoT devices can continuously monitor vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature, allowing healthcare providers to remotely track the health of patients. The implementation of IoT in hospitals has the potential to significantly improve patient care, enhance operational efficiency, and drive better clinical outcomes.
