Global Medical Tourism Market Size, Segments, Outlook, and Revenue Forecast 2022-2028 by Treatment Type (Cardiovascular Treatment, Orthopedic Treatment, Cosmetic Treatment, Bariatric Treatment, Dental Treatment, Oncology Treatment, Infertility Treatment, and Neurological Treatment), Service Provider (Public and Private), and Major Regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America Middle East, and Africa (LAMEA))

Market Overview

Medical tourism is the process of organized travel outside the country to avail medical care. Medical tourists travel across the countries to use low-cost healthcare treatments and facilities to maintain, improve, or restore their health. Medical tourists travel to access different kinds of treatments such as neurological care, dental care, cardiovascular care, cosmetic treatments, and other treatment options.

Public and private service providers offer better healthcare facilities, advanced technology, improved hospitality, breakthrough medicines, and cost-efficient treatments to lure customers.

According to Ken Research Analysis, the Global Medical Tourism Market is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~15% during the forecast period (2022-2028) reaching ~US$ 100 billion by 2028, owing to an increase in demand for low-cost and high-quality treatment for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases including cardiovascular, neurological, and others.

The growing demand for low-cost medical treatment in developing countries and rising awareness about medical tourism among patients are some of the factors driving the market growth.

The lack of healthcare insurance coverage and inadequate insurance benefits are anticipated to encourage patients to travel outside their country to seek high-quality and low-cost medical treatments, which is likely to boost the demand for the medical tourism market globally.

The availability of high-quality treatment in developing countries along with growing demand for non-covered procedures including dental reconstruction, reproductive therapy, gender reassignment surgery, aesthetic surgery, and others, are expected to aid the growth of the Global Medical Tourism Market. The Global Medical Tourism Market faces challenges due to difficulty with patient follow-up and post-surgery complications.

The difficulty in taking patient follow-up after treatment for any kind of infection, particularly antibiotic-resistant infections, or other safety risks is the most significant barrier to the growth of the Global Medical Tourism Industry.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Medical Tourism Market owing to significant travel restrictions due to which patients were unable to seek medical treatments. Moreover, the pandemic created difficulties related to sharing patients’ medical information between domestic and overseas medical institutes due to the interruption of medical tourism.

Key Trends by Market Segment:

By Treatment Type: The oncology treatment segment held the largest share of the Global Medical Tourism Market in 2021, owing to the rising incidences of cancer globally.

Medical tourism for the treatment of cancer is preferred due to expensive prolonged oncology treatments and the lack of advanced technologies in some countries, due to which patients choose to travel to other countries that offer advanced technology and low-cost treatment. The above-mentioned factor is expected to fuel the growth of the market.

By Service Provider: The private segment accounted for the largest share of the Global Medical Tourism Market in 2021, due to the availability of digital systems, advanced medical infrastructure, and value-based care at low cost.

The increasing demand for private medical service providers offering high-class medical service is anticipated to attract tourists and propel the growth of the segment in the Global Medical Tourism Market.

By Geography: Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest share of the Global Medical Tourism Market in 2021, due to the availability of inexpensive flights, low-cost treatment, and increasing marketing and availability of online information for medical services.

The increase in government initiatives and investment to improve healthcare infrastructure coupled with the availability of quality care at a relatively low cost of treatment is expected to augment the growth of the region in the Global Medical Tourism Market.
