Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growing Pressure to Decrease the Rising Healthcare Costs
As healthcare continues to take up a larger part of the overall economy, structural changes, such as a greater push towards paying for value, greater emphasis on care management, and increased cost-sharing with consumers, are taking a stronger hold, pulling back against the rapid healthcare spending growth. Rising healthcare costs and increasing pressure to curtail the same without impacting the quality of care are thus expected to considerably boost the growth of global healthcare consulting services. The need to reduce costs through the effective use of technology and the optimum utilization of financial resources will help in improving the penetration rate of healthcare consulting services. Hence, a huge number of healthcare payers and providers are expected to depend on healthcare consulting firms to improve their work efficiency and business processes. There is an increased level of pressure on the margins of healthcare payers due to the rise of health insurance exchanges (online marketplaces to obtain health insurance from competing providers) in certain countries. Healthcare reforms have driven hospitals and other care providers to realign their operations to accommodate millions of uninsured people and comply with new regulatory requirements. Hospitals are now recognizing the importance of using the right communication and technology solutions and are in turn opting for healthcare consultants to select the models best suited to their needs. The demand to update existing technology to boost efficiency and lower costs is thus driving the growth market.
Restraint:
Availability of Cheap Rate Healthcare
The accessibility of a related healthcare sector at cheaper rates is a market restraint for the market. The existence of low product differentiation and similar, cheaper hospital technology leaves very little room for the Healthcare Consulting Services Industry to operate. The competitors in the market have to operate within these restraints. Most hospitals go for a Healthcare Consulting Service only when it is necessary.
Opportunity:
Growing Amalgamation in the Healthcare Industry
There has been a consistent rise in the number of merger and acquisition activities in the healthcare industry. During merger activities, synchronizing the digital and IT infrastructure of multiple entities is a very challenging task. In this regard, IT departments must handle data migration and synchronization and the ongoing management of electronic medical records. There are also challenges in intra-enterprise communication and data sharing, along with the growing demand for anytime-anywhere access to patient data. The involvement of experienced digital health & IT consultants in these activities can help synchronize and standardize systems across the enterprise/organization. This approach also allows the consolidation of patient medical records and associated data from multiple departments and locations into a unified system, which helps standardize patient data access and archiving across the enterprise, thus enabling advanced data mining, simplified data management, and optimized disaster recovery. With the increasing number of mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare industry, an increasing number of clients are expected to require the support of healthcare consultants to overcome related challenges seamlessly and cost-effectively.
Threat:
Inequality in Diverse Countries
The global healthcare industry is not in evenness. It is facing disparity in different countries. While hospitals in developed countries consult the Healthcare Consulting Services for guidance, underdeveloped countries are lagging in applying Healthcare Consulting Services to the national healthcare segment. On the other hand, developing countries are slow to adapt to the Healthcare Consulting Services Industry Trends. This creates many threats to the Market in certain countries.
Life science Companies segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The life science companies segment had the largest share in the market and is expected to grow faster than all other segments during the forecast period. As these companies use outsourcing firms to reduce the amount of time it takes to manage complex activities, they delegate the jobs to other companies, thus increasing their productivity. Government agencies use healthcare advisory programs when implementing healthcare policy or establishing a new healthcare department. Payers and manufacturers are two other business sectors with a significant market share expected to grow at a reasonable pace over the forecast period.
The digital consulting segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The digital consulting market is expected to grow at a record CAGR. Digital consultancy is a recent service that involves digital platform consulting and has a significant market share. The transition to digital consultancy has saved time for both service providers and consumers, and it is predicted to continue to expand at an encouraging pace over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing healthcare spending for building intelligent hospitals across the globe is expected to raise the market growth.
Region with highest share:
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, owing to technological advances, multinational pharmaceutical companies investing in the province, and an increase in demand for remote care and telemedicine in rural areas. The increasing investments by the government growing population and increasing healthcare problems are further expected to accelerate the market's growth rate.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR, The US healthcare provider industry is constantly challenged by industry-wide reforms. To achieve the clinical, financial, and operational return on investments, health organizations need to be strategic in their selection, implementation, and utilization of digital and IT systems. This has caused various healthcare organizations to partner with healthcare consulting firms for the implementation, maintenance, and training of such systems/solutions for improving organizational performance and driving business growth. North America had the highest share of the market. The province’s dominance is owing to the presence of major market players, increased competition in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors in the province, and the ability of pharmaceutical companies to pay for consulting services. Other factors driving the North Market include mergers and acquisitions, a changing regulatory environment, and an unstable economy.
