Market Trends of Global Healthcare Interoperability Solutions Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Healthcare Interoperability Solutions Market according to our research experts:
Service Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Healthcare Interoperability Solutions Market Over the Forecast Period
The service segment is anticipated to account for the major share owing to the presence of a substantial number of service providers for interoperability solutions. Furthermore, increasing interest of healthcare and scientific communities in the cloud-based platform and cloud computing to minimize the overall operational costs for better and faster performance of healthcare applications is driving the segment growth.
In addition, the service providers in the market are continuously innovating their products and launching new products which are expected to have a significant impact on the market. For instance, in July 2021, Google Cloud introduced a healthcare data engine, an end-to-end solution for life science and healthcare organizations that harmonizes data from multiple sources, including claims, medical records, research data, and clinical trials. Similarly, in May 2020, NewWave Telecom collaborated with Technologies, Inc. for the launch of Onyx Technology, a subsidiary focused on delivering health plans with services and products required to assist healthcare data interoperability. Hence, the segment is expected to grow over the forecast period.
Moreover, the frequent purchases of services, including software upgradation, training, and maintenance, and adoption of other interoperability solutions are further expected to boost growth in the studied segment. For instance, in April 2021, Reliq Health Technologies Inc. adopted the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard for its iUGO Care platform to fulfill the requirements of the large-scale enterprise. Therefore, due to the above-mentioned factors, the service segment is expected to hold a significant share in the healthcare interoperability solutions market during the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Occupy a Significant Share in the Market Over the Forecast Period
The North American region is expected to hold a significant share in the studied market owing to the increasing investment in the digitalization of the healthcare infrastructure, increase healthcare expenditure, and launch of new products. For instance, according to the November 2021 report of the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the Canadian healthcare infrastructure increased from USD 267 billion in 2019 to USD 308 billion in 2021. Similarly, the healthcare expenditure of the United States increased from USD 3.8 trillion in 2019 to 4.3 trillion in 2021. Hence, to control the increasing healthcare cost, the demand for healthcare interoperability solutions is expected to increase which is expected to boost the market's growth.
Moreover, in the North American region, the United States is expected to be a major market in the region for healthcare interoperability solutions as it is one of the major countries where digital healthcare solutions like electronic health records (EHRs) are used widely in almost every hospital. For instance, according to the research study published in December 2020, titled 'Assessment of Electronic Health Record Use Between the US and Non-US Health Systems', when compared to their peers from other countries, clinicians from the United States used the EHR actively for a great deal more clinical tasks and hence, the adoption of healthcare interoperability solutions.
In addition to this, the presence of some key market players in the country and business expansion initiatives like product launches, mergers and acquisitions, and collaborations among others are expected to further boost the market growth. For instance, in April 2022, Embratel launched the Embratel Saúde Interoperabilidade solution, suitable for public and private institutions that seek to solve the challenges of clinical connectivity, information integration, and sharing of medical records for an integral view of healthcare. Therefore, due to the above-mentioned factors, the North American region is expected to occupy a significant share, where the United States would be the major market for the healthcare interoperability solutions market over the forecast period.
