Global EHR Market Size (2024 to 2029)

During the forecast period, the global electronic health records (EHR) market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.24%. As a result, it is expected to be worth USD 39.30 billion by 2029 from USD 31.93 billion in 2024.

The electronic health record, or EHR system, is primarily used for the structured electronic gathering and storage of patient medical data in a digital format. EHR systems aid in expanding patient data accessibility, improving the overall productivity and efficiency of patient care. Electronic health records' usage is expected to increase due to their numerous features, applications, and interoperability across various healthcare settings. Electronic health records' use and features across various healthcare facilities are predicted to become increasingly common. Approved physicians can create and maintain health information in a digital format that can be shared with other clinicians across numerous healthcare organizations, which is one of the primary benefits of an EHR. EHRs are designed to share data with other healthcare providers and organizations, such as laboratories, specialists, medical imaging facilities, pharmacies, emergency rooms, and school and workplace clinics. They contain information from all clinicians involved in a patient's treatment.

Global Electronic Health Records (EHR) Market Drivers:

YoY growth in EHR adoption worldwide, increased usage of cloud-based EHR software, a rapid increase in the aging population, and the growing prevalence of chronic diseases propel the global EHR market growth.

Nowadays, people are living longer, resulting in an increasingly older population. According to World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be above 60 years of age. Due to the increasing number of various types of disease among older adults, Electronic Health Record (EHR) has gotten more attention to improving the quality of the elderly population by addressing the issues. These electronic health records help store and securely organize the patient's data. They can access the registered customer or patient anywhere and anytime without bothering about the older reports. Older people are more careful of their health during the second wave of COVID-19. They schedule their appointment safely to reduce the spread of the virus by using these electronic health records. EHR data can help healthcare providers for better care in the customized time slot. These records also help to discuss a patient's disease and give the correct treatment according to the previous diseases they suffered.

EHR also allows for better patient engagement while reducing the time experts spend on paperwork. Incorporating artificial intelligence (Al) to anticipate EHR-based clinical outcomes has also enhanced patient experience by facilitating improved care delivery. In addition to these developments, the market expansion will be boosted by supportive government initiatives and funding in the field.

In the recent past, new expansion activities, product approvals, product launches, partnerships, and acquisitions have had a favorable impact on the global EHR market. Furthermore, as the world becomes more digital, there has been a significant increase in demand for electronic health records, fueling market growth. In addition, the rising need for healthcare administration centralization and streamlining is projected to drive market growth. The global EHR market is further expected to see significant development as more attempts to utilize digital platforms for pandemic management emerge and ongoing usage of digital technology in the future.

Global Electronic Health Records (EHR) Market Restraints:

The high cost of EHR and growing concerns about patient data safety and security due to the rise in cybercrime hampering the global EHR market growth.

In addition, information technology, a lack of uniform definitions and concepts, cultural issues, and a need for more needs assessment before implementation are challenges for electronic health record infrastructure. In contrast, structural challenges are caused by enforced instability, privacy violations, and legal cases. The lack of skilled professionals and lack of awareness about the usage of EHR also impact the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global EHR market:

Due to the expanding number of COVID-19 patients, electronic medical record systems have been built to track and invoice patients rather than provide optimal care, which is the need of the hour. Furthermore, COVID-19 instances are on the rise, and whether existing software can track such an outbreak remains to be seen. Individuals at various risk levels for COVID-19 infection can be identified in advance. This can help prevent the virus from spreading by ensuring the appropriateness of care in all healthcare settings and attaining high-quality outcomes. Electronic health records proved helpful for population health and data management during the coronavirus pandemic. Government initiatives to collect and analyze COVID-19 population data, as well as individual electronic health records held by healthcare organizations, have received widespread support from the public. The global EHR market is anticipated to see significant development as more attempts to utilize digital platforms for pandemic management develop and ongoing usage of digital technology in the future.
