Global Telemedicine Market Size Is Anticipated To Reach USD 380.3 Billion By 2030

 Telemedicine Industry Overview

The global telemedicine market size is anticipated to reach USD 380.3 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a lucrative CAGR of 19.5% over the forecast period. The key factors driving the market growth include the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, aging population, telehealth uptake, and rising demand for reduction in care costs. SOC Telemed reported 140,743 total system-wide consults during Q3 2021, an increase of about 76% year over year. The company also reported a recovery in telepsychiatry volumes to pre-COVID levels and significant volume increases in the teleneurology service line. About 1,087 total facilities were serviced by SOC Telemed including 193 facilities serviced by Access Physicians.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic had an overall positive impact on the market. It led to increased awareness about telemedicine solutions, propelled the adoption rates among patients & providers, and increased the investment activities in the market. Supportive regulatory initiatives to promote the use of telemedicine further contributed to the market growth. In the U.S., both state and federal laws have evolved to facilitate the widespread use of telemedicine to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, on March 6, 2020, the U.S. president signed Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act. It included USD 8.0 billion emergency funding for the federal agencies and provision to expand reimbursement coverage for telehealth services.

Many U.S. states also waived the licensure for better utilization of the service. This positively impacted the market growth during the pandemic. Rapid advancements in technology are also expected to boost the demand for online consultation, thereby contributing to market growth. For instance, in April 2020, American Well launched Amwell Private Practice, which is a secure, simple, and cost-effective solution for doctors to deliver virtual primary or specialty care for COVID-19 patients.

 

Telemedicine Market Segmentation

Grand View Research has segmented the global telemedicine market on the basis of component, modality, application, delivery mode, facility, end user, and region:

Based on the Component Insights, the market is segmented into Product, and Services.

• The product segment dominated the market in 2021 while the services segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of over 20% from 2022 to 2030. The product segment is further divided into software, hardware, and others. The hardware segment held the largest market share in 2021 owing to the high adoption of medical peripheral devices, microphones, display screens, videoconferencing devices, and audio equipment to facilitate virtual visits.
• The telemonitoring segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the expanding field of remote patient monitoring. The tele-consulting segment contributed to the largest revenue share as it forms the core of telemedicine solutions. The widespread use of tele-consulting between patients and clinicians, between physicians, and between surgeons and students is estimated to propel the segment growth.

 

Based on the Modality Insights, the market is segmented into Store & Forward, Real-time, and Others.

• The industry is driven by three concepts, which include real-time (synchronous), store and forward (asynchronous), and others comprising remote patient monitoring, etc. The real-time segment accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 38.00% in 2021.
• This is owing to the rising uptake of on-demand medical consultations, usage of mHealth and virtual video visits, and service offerings by key market players. The others segment consisting of patient monitoring (e.g. health tracking and vital signs monitoring) from a distant location (such as home or hospital) is also expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast years.

 

Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Teleradiology, Telepsychiatry, Telepathology, Teledermatology, Telecardiology, and Others.

• The teleradiology segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 24.05% in 2021. This is because of factors, such as an increase in imaging practices, teleradiology workflow adoption by healthcare providers, expansion of service offerings within radiology sub-segments, and the streamlining & regulation of teleradiology practices.
• Telepsychiatry, on the other hand, is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. This is owing to the growing prevalence of mental health disorders, behavioral disorders, rising awareness, and adoption of telepsychiatry services. MD Live, for instance, offers sessions with counselors and psychiatrists for a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma & PTSD, panic disorders, and more.

 

Based on the Delivery Mode Insights, the market is segmented into Web/Mobile, and Call Centers.

The segment is estimated to expand further at the fastest CAGR retaining its dominant position throughout the forecast period.
• This segment is further categorized into audio/text-based and visualized access to the care. Rising smartphonepenetration, a surge in mHealth usage, and growing healthcare consumerism are contributing to the segment growth.
