The global healthcare data annotation tools market size is expected to reach USD 916.8 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 27.5% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in the medical field is majorly used in diagnostics and management of treatment. Accurate diagnosis is a fundamental aspect of healthcare systems globally; however, according to an article published by Southern Medical Association in October 2021, in the U.S., approximately 5% of patients receive inaccurate diagnoses with errors occurring in serious medical conditions that have potential risk of serious harm for the patient.
Using AI/ML, healthcare professionals can make better decisions based on more precise diagnoses by saving time, reducing costs, and improving medical records management overall. Thus, Al/ML in healthcare helps in identifying new cancer treatments to improve patient care with quicker, more accurate, and quality treatment. Moreover, increasing FDA approvals of AI/ML-enabled medical devices are anticipated to boost the demand for healthcare data annotation tools during the forecast period.
For instance, in 2022, the FDA authorized 91 AI/ML-enabled medical devices. In addition, in 2021, 115 submissions were authorized by the FDA, an 83% increase from 2018. The number of initiatives being undertaken for the implementation of eHealth is rising globally. The adoption of eHealth is rising in developing countries. Countries such as India, China, Brazil, and Mexico are some of the developing economies that have undertaken initiatives for eHealth. Several apps such as Practo, AssistRx, and Wareed have been launched in various parts of the world over the last decade to help patients book appointments, track their consultations & medical prescriptions, and store their healthcare information over the course of the treatment.
For instance, in February 2022, Teladoc Health, Inc. launched Chronic Care Complete, a first-of-its-kind complete chronic condition management solution aimed at improving healthcare outcomes. Thus, initiatives pertaining to the adoption of digital health are expected to positively influence the healthcare data annotation tools industry over the forecast period. Technological advancements in annotation tools by key players in the market are one of the key factors boosting market growth. For instance, in 2021, Deepen AI introduced the world’s most intuitive AI-powdered video and image annotation tool to decrease annotation time by more than half while retaining a high level of accuracy.
Similarly, in March 2023, SciBite introduced a structured data annotation tool Workbench to help organizations implement a FAIR approach for data management, making data, accessible, findable, reusable, and interoperable. Hence, the introduction of such novel tools by major players is driving market growth. Furthermore, healthcare organizations in the age of data are under enormous pressure to improve the quality of care and patient experiences, while continuously reducing healthcare delivery costs is boosting funding and investments, which is accelerating the development of data annotation software and solutions.
For instance, in November 2022, RedBrick AI, a healthcare startup company secured funding of USD 4.6 million from Sequoia India and others. The funding aims to accelerate the development and increase the adoption of artificial intelligence in healthcare by solving medical data annotation issues. Hence, rising healthcare expenditure and funding for data annotation tools are propelling market growth.
