Market growth is influenced by factors such as technological advancements in health IT, increasing smartphone and internet penetration, and supportive government regulations promoting e-health initiatives. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital health solutions, presenting persistent growth opportunities in emerging markets and underserved communities by addressing gaps in traditional healthcare delivery systems.
