Significant Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) Market Dynamics and Growth Factors:

Driver: Growing use of big data
Over the past few years, the amount of electronic data generated by the healthcare industry has expanded to terabytes and petabytes, primarily due to the digitization of administrative, clinical and financial information. With volumes nearly doubling each year, they are expected to reach exabytes and even zettabytes in the next few years. In addition to the growing volume, the diversity of data in healthcare presents major challenges for healthcare providers. The length and heterogeneity of data make healthcare data more complex when compared to other industries. To address these challenges in the healthcare industry, service providers are increasingly adopting healthcare analytics and data management solutions.

Constraints: IT infrastructure constraints in developing countries
Cost is one of the major barriers to adoption of healthcare IT solutions. The maintenance and software update costs of these systems are higher than the software price. Support and maintenance services, including software upgrades based on changing user requirements, represent recurring expenses that represent nearly 30% of the total cost of ownership. Additionally, the lack of internal IT expertise in the healthcare industry requires end-user training to maximize the effectiveness of various healthcare IT solutions, adding to the cost of ownership of these systems. The cost of implementing healthcare IT solutions in healthcare systems in emerging economies is much higher because capital is also required to build the infrastructure needed to implement healthcare IT solutions. Therefore, hospitals often prefer to invest in core technologies that are directly linked to the quality of patient care rather than investing in related departments. Therefore, high deployment and maintenance costs restrict small healthcare organizations from investing in healthcare IT solutions, particularly in emerging markets across APAC and Latin America.

Opportunity: Growing use of healthcare IT solutions in outpatient care facilities
As pressure on the health care system to lower the cost of care increases, the industry is turning to outpatient settings to reduce the cost of care. Convenience is another important factor driving the growth of outpatient care. As the number of outpatients increases and the influx of patients increases, the demand and use of healthcare IT solutions in the outpatient setting will increase.
