The global telehealth services market size is anticipated to reach USD 291.37 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 30.0% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing technological advancements in healthcare, the shortfall of healthcare professionals, and supportive government initiatives drive the market demand. Technological advancements in telehealth include the internet, store-and-forward imaging, videoconferencing, streaming media, and wireless and terrestrial communications.
Telehealth technologies are altering the way of delivering care to underserved individuals or populations who otherwise experience burdensome travel and hefty expenses to receive specialty care. Moreover, transportation may be an obstacle for patients with chronic diseases; telehealth provides continuous care to such patients overcoming the obstacles of transportation, time, and cost. Health status can be accessed conveniently with the help of technologies such as video conferencing and real-time connectivity via chat, text, and audio.
Many companies are adopting such technologies to provide better care to patients. For instance, in February 2024 , Yellowcross Healthcare Commerce, a provider of telemedicine practice management services, launched a new consultancy service designed to empower medical groups and healthcare facilities to enhance their remote care capabilities. This new venture, founded by experienced telemedicine professionals, aims to support healthcare providers in addressing the growing shortage of radiologists and improving patient care through the adoption of innovative telemedicine solutions.
Telehealth services have expanded healthcare accessibility, particularly for individuals in remote or underserved areas. Patients who previously had limited access to healthcare facilities can now receive medical consultations and follow-ups without the need to travel long distances. This convenience not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces the burden on physical healthcare infrastructure, leading to more efficient resource allocation.
In addition, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease has fueled the demand for telehealth services. Continuous monitoring and management of these conditions often require regular medical consultations, which can be effectively managed through telehealth. A study published by the NIH in April 2023 investigated telehealth chronic disease visits among low-income groups. The analysis, included records for 52,904 unique patients, with 31,999 being female, and 49% having at least one telehealth visit. Remote monitoring devices and wearable technology enable healthcare providers to track patient health metrics in real time, allowing for timely interventions and personalized care plans.
