Preventive Healthcare Technologies and Services Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)
The preventive healthcare technologies and services market is expected to register a significant CAGR of 10.36% during the study period (2022-2027).
In recent times, countries have faced a huge threat of COVID-19. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), coronavirus disease is an infectious disease, and most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. Screenings are important to avoid future health problems or catch them early when they are easier to treat. But the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decrease in preventive screenings because some patients have been hesitant to see their health care provider. As per the study “Estimated impact of COVID-19 on preventive care service delivery: an observational cohort study” published in October 2021, COVID-19 decreased the delivery of preventive care services, which may cause delayed diagnoses, increased mortality, and increased health care costs. Therefore, COVID-19 had a significant impact on the market. However, with the advancements in virtual care, increase in vaccination drives, and reopening of screening centers, the preventive healthcare technologies and services are expected to meet the demand of pre-pandemic stages, indicating a healthy growth during the study period.
The factors propelling the studied market growth are the rising burden of chronic diseases, increasing geriatric population, increasing research and development activities, advancement in technology preventive healthcare, rising product launches, and strategic initiatives adopted by key market players.
With the growing burden of chronic diseases, the demand for solutions capable of effectively managing chronic diseases is expected to increase, which will drive the market. Technological advancements in these solutions for monitoring diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, blood pressure, and other chronic diseases will also propel the market.
The growing research and development activities in the studied market are driving the market growth. For instance, in January 2021, GlaxoSmithKline initiated a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, multi-country study to evaluate the efficacy of the RSVPreF3 OA investigational vaccine in preventing Lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD) caused by RSV in adults less than 60 years of age following a single dose of the RSVPreF3 OA vaccine and following annual revaccination This study will also assess if the vaccine is safe and induces an immune response. The study is expected to be completed by May 2024. positive responses from such studies evaluating the efficacies of vaccines will boost the studied market during the study period.
Moreover, the entry of new players indicates a huge potential in the market and will offer more technologically advanced products, which will also drive the market. For instance, in January 2022, Ismaël Emelien co-founded Zoi, a new French startup that wants to combine routine medical checkups with preventive care through a mobile app. Therefore, accessibility to such preventive services will increase their demand, thus, leading to lucrative growth of the market.
Rising investments in the market will also expand the product offerings and geographical reach of the studied products, which will drive the market. For instance, in February 2022, Goqii raised USD 50 million in its Series-C funding round led by Sumeru Ventures. Goqii will use the proceeds to strengthen its current offerings, including a wearable fitness tracker, an app, a health store as well as real-time coaching and insurance services.
Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors, the studied market is expected to grow significantly during the study period. However, the lack of skilled healthcare IT professionals is expected to hinder the market growth during the study period.
Key Market TrendsVaccines Segment is Expected to Account for the Significant Market Share Over the Forecast PeriodVaccines are injections, liquids, pills, or nasal sprays that are taken to prepare the body's immune system to recognize and defend against harmful germs.
