eHealth (electronic health) refers to the use of digital technologies and electronic systems to manage healthcare services and information, improving communication, efficiency, and accessibility in healthcare delivery. It includes digital solutions for patient care, administration, and decision-making, supporting healthcare providers, consumers, and stakeholders in enhancing health outcomes.
The main types of eHealth are eHealth solutions and eHealth services. eHealth solutions include digital healthcare technologies, such as telemedicine, electronic health records, mobile health apps, and AI-driven diagnostics, aimed at improving medical services and patient care. Components such as electronic health records, e-prescribing, clinical decision support systems, and telemedicine are implemented on-premise or through cloud-based platforms. eHealth serves a variety of end users, including healthcare providers, payers, healthcare consumers, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The eHealth market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides eHealth market statistics, including the eHealth industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the eHealth market share, detailed eHealth market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the eHealth industry. This eHealth market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The ehealth market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $143.97 billion in 2024 to $176.29 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing internet penetration, growing smartphone adoption, rising healthcare costs, government initiatives, and demand for remote monitoring.
The ehealth market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $393.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing chronic disease prevalence, aging population, focus on personalized medicine, growth of remote patient monitoring, and integration of AI in diagnostics. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced telemedicine infrastructure, innovation in AI-powered diagnostics, advancement in digital health records, proliferation of smart medical devices, and advanced cybersecurity in eHealth.
The forecast of 22.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade tensions could hinder digital health adoption by inflating costs for FDA-cleared telehealth carts and remote monitoring devices from Taiwan and Finland, exacerbating rural care disparities. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing adoption of telehealth is expected to drive the growth of the eHealth market. Telehealth refers to the use of digital communication technologies to deliver remote healthcare services, such as consultations, monitoring, and medical education. The growing use of telehealth is fueled by its accessibility, convenience, cost-effectiveness, and advancements in technology. eHealth supports telehealth by facilitating remote patient monitoring, virtual consultations, and easy access to digital health records, ultimately improving healthcare delivery. For example, a survey conducted by Rock Health in February 2023, involving 8,014 respondents, found that 76% of people over the age of 55 had used telemedicine, and 80% of all respondents had accessed care via telemedicine at some point in their lives, an increase of 8% from 72% in 2021. As a result, the rising use of telehealth is driving the growth of the eHealth market.
Companies operating in the eHealth market are focusing on developing innovative products such as electronic medical records (EMR) systems to enhance patient data management, improve healthcare efficiency, and streamline clinical workflows. An Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system is a digital platform used to store, manage, and retrieve patients' medical histories, diagnoses, treatments, and other healthcare information within a healthcare facility. For example, in April 2024, eHealth Solutions Ltd, a UK-based healthcare IT company, introduced EMRpro, an advanced electronic medical records (EMR) system designed specifically for private healthcare practices. This next-generation healthcare IT solution aims to redefine clinical efficiency and patient management. EMRpro integrates cutting-edge features to streamline medical workflows and enhance care delivery. Unlike traditional EMR systems, it prioritizes clinical functionality over administrative tasks, and with its modern, cloud-based infrastructure, EMRpro sets a new standard in healthcare technology.
In April 2024, OMRON Healthcare Co. Ltd., a Japan-based medical equipment company, acquired Luscii Healthtech for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening OMRON's position in digital health and remote consultation services. With expertise in the UK and European remote patient monitoring market, OMRON will help Luscii expand its services through a unified platform, enabling healthcare professionals from general practitioners to hospitals to deliver more integrated and efficient care. Luscii Healthtech is a Netherlands-based digital health company specializing in remote patient monitoring and virtual care solutions.
