Telehealth Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (Hardware, Software, Services and Other Components), Modality (Remote Patient Monitoring, Real-Time and Store-And-Forward), Application (Telemedicine, Patient Monitoring, Continuous Medical Education and Other Applications), End User and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Telehealth Market is accounted for $87.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $394.4 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 28.6% during the forecast period. The use of communications technologies to deliver healthcare remotely is known as telehealth. Owing to developments in communications, computer science, informatics, and medical technology, telehealth has become a useful tool. In telehealth, blood pressure, heart rate, and other measures are frequently continuously monitored and electronically transmitted to medical staff by a patient's wearable gadget.
According to “The European digital health revolution in the wake of COVID-19” published in April 2021, the European Commission proposed the EU4Health program as part of a COVID-19 recovery response program. The initiative aims to raise EUR 5.1 billion for the digital transformation of the European health sector and ensure preparedness for future cross-border health threats.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Governmental Initiatives in Momentum for Telehealth Solutions
The distance barrier has been successfully broken down by telehealth, facilitating the provision of healthcare in outlying areas. The majority of people live in rural areas without access to high-quality healthcare, particularly in developing nations. As a result, several governments are increasingly putting their attention on developing virtual care platforms to deliver healthcare services in remote areas, in order to encourage the expansion of the market; the government is creating trial programmes and policies. The introduction of electronic intensive care units (e-ICUs), which allow for remote patient monitoring via two-way cameras, high-speed internet, and electronic devices, is also supported by the governments of many different countries thus, propelling the market growth.
Restraint:
Technological barrier
Despite the tremendous potential of teleconsultation, infrastructure and technological limitations are a major hindrance to the market's growth in underdeveloped nations. The introduction of digital health platforms necessitates the use of reducing telecommunications equipment, high-speed internet with lots of bandwidth, and storage space for storing and transmitting medical data, all of which are still in short supply in many developing nations. A significant market limitation is the high cost of implementing the required systems, devices, and equipment connected with real-time measurement of healthcare data which hampers the market.
Opportunity:
Rising Healthcare Cost
The rising incidence of chronic diseases and the rising number of elderly people drive up healthcare costs dramatically. Huge sums of money have been spent on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of numerous diseases. The demand for technology-driven systems that can deliver high-quality healthcare while also lowering costs has surged as a result of this. Telehealth is quickly implemented in all healthcare facilities because it satisfactorily satisfies these objectives which will be accelerating the telehealth market growth.
Threat:
Healthcare exploitation
Regarding telemedicine activities, health care is a crucial factor. There are many ways in which a patient's name or a doctor's account can be utilized to obtain payments from the insurance company, or how organisational providers who are not eligible or listed can interact in inappropriate billing and coding for false allegations. Such deceptive procedures may lead to a decline in telehealth services' credibility and trust. Victimized patients often frequently publicise their unpleasant encounters in the market, which discourages many new competitors and restricts market expansion.
Covid-19 Impact

But this has also given digital health platforms new market opportunities. The current crisis is expected to greatly increase demand for virtual consultations. Moreover, in the combat against the COVID-19 epidemic, this has shown to be a potent weapon. Teleconsultation and remote monitoring services are becoming more popular. One of the key reasons for the increased demand for services is the strong emphasis on social distance between patients and doctors thus Covid 19 has shown a positive impact on the telehealth market.
