SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

By Type Insights

Based on the type, the market for governance, risk, and compliance solutions (GRC) segment is predicted to rise the fastest in the global market during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributable to the increase in the number of adverse events experienced by patients around the world, as well as the successful use of GRC solutions. GRC solutions ensure that patients receive safe, high-quality care while adhering to market norms and laws.

However, the risk management and safety solutions segment is also expected to show significant revenue during the forecast period due to the rising need for high-quality patient care and proper barrier to patients' private data.

By Deployment Mode Insights

Based on the deployment model, the private cloud segment held the most significant proportion of the global market in 2022 due to its high security and scalability features that are not available with public cloud solutions; the private cloud segment is likely to maintain its dominance.

The public cloud segment, however, is expected to see some drawbacks due to the introduction of private cloud systems. Public clouds are relatively more open than private clouds and, therefore, not as effective as a safety management tool compared to private cloud systems.

By End-user Insights

Based on the End-user, the ambulatory care centers segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the factors such as shorter diagnosis times, the deployment of an efficient management system that ensures patient safety, and lower treatment costs.

However, the hospital segment is also expected to have significant revenue in the market due to the growing acceptance of IT solutions in healthcare settings and the need to maintain the safety of administrative patient records like the EHR. Furthermore, hospitals are large enterprises with multiple facilities and thousands of patients meaning data collection and saving can get very hectic, and there is a high chance of data breaches with healthcare software. Therefore, it is mandatory to use risk management software to keep the data secure.
