Factors Governing IoT in Healthcare Market

Players in the IoT in healthcare market are actively focusing on strategic measures such as partnerships and collaborations to provide technologically advanced solutions to healthcare organizations for improved services. For instance, in March 2018, Koninklijke Philips N.V. entered into a partnership with Hologic Inc. to offer novel, integrated imaging solutions for women's healthcare. These solutions included diagnostic imaging modalities and informatics technologies for screening medical conditions in women. With such partnerships and collaborations, companies are trying to cater to the growing demand for advanced healthcare solutions and, in the process, increase their share in the market.

The IoT in healthcare market is also being driven by increasing investments in IoT by both public and private organizations across the world. For instance, in November 2015, the European Union (EU) launched the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program and invested $18.2 million for the deployment of digital service infrastructure (DSI). The CEF invited proposals from EU member states to provide pan-EU digital services in four different areas: eHealth, eProcurement, eIdentification (eID), and online dispute resolution (ODR). In the U.K., the government launched IoTUK, a three-year national program, with an investment of $52.8 million for the development of the country’s IoT network.

Healthcare organizations across the world are increasingly deploying cloud-based solutions for the seamless exchange of patient information. Cloud computing supports storage and retrieval of a huge volume of patient information, further facilitating better clinical management in hospitals and other emergency care settings. IoT-supported cloud platforms allow physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to access comprehensive data sets with respect to patient health records in real-time for making informed decisions. Owing to these benefits of cloud technology in the healthcare industry, healthcare providers are opting for this technology for improving clinical workflow, thus boosting the demand for IoT solutions globally.

IoT in Healthcare Market Segmentation Analysis

The systems and software category is expected to be the fastest-growing component category in the IoT in healthcare market, advancing at a CAGR of 32.9% during the forecast period. Furthermore, of the various application areas of the IoT technology in healthcare, telemedicine accounted for the largest share in the market. Also, during the forecast period, the IoT in healthcare market is expected to witness the fastest growth in the Wi-Fi category. These findings may be attributed to the increasing adoption of the technology, as Wi-Fi-supported IoT solutions in healthcare help in seamless data sharing and continuous patient monitoring, thus reducing the number of hospital visits and resulting in improved patient outcomes.

Hospitals, surgical centers, and clinics, as an end-user category, accounted for the largest share in the IoT in healthcare market in 2017, mainly due to the rise in the number of clinics and hospitals, globally.
