Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising government initiatives and investments in preventive healthcare
The rising initiatives by governments across the globe to promote the practice of preventive healthcare are expected to significantly boost the market in the future. With the rising prevalence of chronic conditions, the overall economic burden is higher for curative medicine, hence the governments are shifting their focus to preventive medicine. The investments are growing in various preventive healthcare sectors such as vaccinations, public health monitoring, disease screening programs, early-stage diagnostics, and awareness campaigns.
For instance, in 2024, Agence de l'innovation en sante, AIS of France announced an investment of €170 (~ US$180) million to support the development of novel devices and other research activities related to preventive healthcare. With a focus on eight fields such as children's health, mental health, infertility, chronic diseases, infectious disease, rare diseases, and addiction, AIS has allocated the budget for three development areas such as large-scale projects, a research program on environmental factors and industrial projects that develop preventive technologies.
Moreover, Gavi has stated that between the period of 2026-2030, Gavi and the vaccine partners plan to strengthen the global vaccination programs with huge investments. During the period, the vaccine alliance plans to save 8 to 9 million lives and immunize 500 million children through a financial contribution of US$ 4 billion through domestic co-financing and self-funded vaccine programs.
These investments can significantly improve public health outcomes, reduce the disease burden, reducing the need for expensive treatments and hospitalizations.
The high cost of preventive healthcare practices may restrain the market growth.
Individuals may find preventive healthcare measures expensive, especially if they have to bear the costs out-of-pocket. This can discourage people from actively participating in preventive programs or getting regular screenings and check-ups. Implementation of comprehensive preventive healthcare programs often requires substantial financial investments in infrastructure, technology, and personnel training.
The global preventive healthcare market is segmented based on type, application, and region.
Early-stage diagnostics in the application segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the forecast period.
Early-stage diagnostics play a crucial role in preventive healthcare as they aid in the early detection of preventable diseases. Early-stage diagnosis refers to the identification of the disease risk and burden before the incidence of symptoms or in the initial stages. This can significantly reduce the disease and economic burden on the patient. There are several tools available for early-stage detection of various chronic and life-threatening diseases such as diabetes, heart stroke & other cardiovascular diseases, cancer, infectious diseases, etc. This early-stage detection allows for timely intervention before the disease incidence, and improve the overall patient outcome. The market for early-stage diagnostics is expected to significantly grow in the forecast period due to rising investments, launch of novel diagnostic tools and the increasing adoption rate by the population.
For instance, in December 2024, Strand Life Sciences, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries of India launched a new early cancer detection tool called CancerSpot. The test can detect multiple cancers from blood samples using Strand Life Science's proprietary sequencing technology. Moreover, in February 2024, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi launched a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that enables the early detection of gynecological cancers.
Asia-Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the preventive healthcare market.
Asia-Pacific region is not only well known for its higher population but also for the advancing healthcare landscape. The growing elderly population and increasing prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases are making the population highly aware of the importance of preventive measures. As per the World Health Organization statements 62% of all deaths in South East Asia are due to non-communicable diseases which account for 9 million persons. All these deaths could be avoided by the practice of preventive healthcare through early disease diagnosis, risk assessments, regular disease screening, health monitoring, etc. However, the practices of healthcare are rapidly changing in the region. The population of Asia-Pacific is rapidly becoming aware of the importance of preventive medicine. To further propel the practice, governments across the region are actively alocating budgets, launching screening programs, awareness campaigns for preventive healthcare.
For instance, for the financial year 2024-25, India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has allocated a budget of Rs. 87,657 crores (~US$10.2 billion) for the for the Department of Health & Family Welfare (DoHFW). Moreover, Rs. 70,051 crore (~US$8.1 billion) grants for health through the local Governments were provided by the 15th Finance Commission. The health budget has seen a rise of 85% from the fiscal year 2017-18. In addition, till 10th December 2024, 1,75,418 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs) have been established and operationalized whose function is to perform primary healthcare services including preventive medicine.
This huge makeshift in the healthcare practices in one of the fastest growing economies i.e., India reflects the region's investment in preventive healthcare.
