Global Medical Document Management Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the global medical document management market is to reach USD 717.7 million by 2028, from USD 377.71 million in 2023. This market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period. 

MARKET DRIVERS:

The rapid adoption of EHR systems in healthcare facilities and the growing volume of patients visiting hospitals due to various health disorders worldwide primarily propel the growth of the medical document management market. Electronic health records (EHR) are vastly used by many end-users now-a-day, accelerating the need for the medical document management market. Also, these systems are highly applicable to managing the patient's correct information and storing the patient’s health records. It is potentially making the market move forward. The growing prevalence of quality treatment procedures drives the medical document management market growth. These systems will also help physicians or doctors evaluate better treatment procedures for the patient by making the right decisions by clearly studying the health records of a particular patient. This attribute promotes the market’s growth rate.

In addition, the growing support from government and non-government organizations in healthcare centers and installing the latest equipment at any cost provides opportunities in the market. The surge in healthcare spending and the rise in concern towards health among individuals fuel the demand for the medical document management market. For proper treatment in an emergency, these systems are highly efficient for the doctors to track the patient's complete health records. It is likely to spur the growth rate of the market eventually. 

The growing demand for digitization and automation of healthcare processes, stringent regulatory requirements for maintaining accurate and organized medical records, shift towards paperless operations and reducing reliance on physical documents, growing volume of patient data, and increasing need for centralized storage and retrieval contribute to the market growth. The growing number of advancements in technology, such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence that enable more sophisticated document management solutions, cost savings associated with reduced paper usage and streamlined document workflows and rising demand for remote access to medical records for telemedicine and virtual healthcare services fuel the growth rate of the medical document management market. The growing awareness about the benefits of digital document management in improving patient care and healthcare outcomes, rising emphasis on data analytics and insights derived from medical documents for clinical decision-making and research purposes and rapid adoption of mobile devices and mobile applications for accessing and managing medical documents on the go further support the market growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

Concerns regarding data security and privacy breaches in electronic document management systems, resistance to change and reluctance to adopt new technologies among healthcare professionals and limited interoperability and compatibility between different document management systems and healthcare IT infrastructure majorly hamper the market growth. High implementation and maintenance costs associated with implementing document management solutions and challenges in migrating and converting paper-based medical records to digital formats limit the market’s growth rate. Lack of standardized document management practices and processes across healthcare organizations, complex regulatory landscape and compliance requirements for medical document management and limited awareness and understanding of the benefits of document management solutions among smaller healthcare facilities further inhibit the growth rate of the medical document management market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global medical document management market:

COVID-19 is an unmatchable global public health emergency that has affected almost all industries, including healthcare. Governments worldwide imposed severe lockdowns to prevent the spread of the disease. Over the pandemic period, patients stopped visiting hospitals to collect their medical bills and reports. COVID-19 has positively affected the medical document management market. Virtual environments during the pandemic time have gained more popularity. COVID-19 cases have led to a lot of data generated due to growth in the patient population being treated and leveraging medical facilities. The valuable and responsible management of documents is created together to reduce paper usage and limit operational costs and storage issues. These factors are expected to accelerate the market growth over the pandemic crisis. The lack of corresponding data across the patients amid the regularity of electronic health records (EHR) supplements the adoption of such tools.
