The global healthcare information system (HIS) market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 10% during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the increasing use of IT solutions in the healthcare industry. Patient-centered care management, population health management, and point-of-care solutions assist healthcare providers in cutting down healthcare expenditure and improving outcomes. Technological advancements in the healthcare IT landscape, such as the use of IoT, and AI is one of the major factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, the increased usage of electronic health record (EHR) systems is likely to propel market growth in the coming years. However, the high costs of deploying HCIT systems for small and medium-sized hospitals, as well as resistance from traditional healthcare providers and IT infrastructure limits in emerging economies, may stymie industry expansion. The rise in security and interoperability concerns will pose a hindrance to the healthcare IT business.
Hospital information systems contribute a significant share in the global HIS market
Based on the application, the hospital information system segment is projected to contribute a significant share in the market during the forecast period. The segmental growth of the market is attributed to the increase in the number of hospitals and healthcare centers across the globe coupled with the rising adoption of IT solutions in the industry. In addition, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) results in an increasing patient pool that generates a huge amount of data that must be managed efficiently, which increase the demand for hospital information system globally.
Moreover, based on deployment, cloud-based deployment of HIS is estimated to grow at a significant growth rate during the forecast period. Healthcare functionality can be enhanced by cloud-based healthcare IT systems which offer the potential for interoperability and integration. The ability to share information easily and securely is a critical capability, and cloud services are good enablers for this. In addition, cloud service offers access to a much larger ecosystem of healthcare provider, payer, life sciences, and IT solution partners; which increase the potential for a wide range of services to healthcare provider organizations.
North America to contribute a prominent share in the global HIS market
North America is projected to hold a prominent share in the global HIS market and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period. The regional growth of the market is attributed to the high economic development coupled with the well-established healthcare infrastructure, increased penetration of advanced technology across healthcare facilities, and the presence of key market players in the region. Europe is expected to observe significant adoption of HIS owing to the rising need to curtail the escalating healthcare costs. Additionally, the fastest growth is expected in the Asia Pacific region on the back of increasing government initiatives for eHealth, growing need to adhere to regulatory guidelines, and high return on investment (ROI). Also, the regional growth can be attributed to the rising deployment of IT projects in economies such as China, India, Australia, and New Zealand. There is a considerable demand for technologically improved solutions and services in healthcare systems in the Asia Pacific which drives the global market growth.
