The Saudi Arabia digital health market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 19.3% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising utilization of digital technologies in the medical industry in Saudi Arabia is a result of the government's efforts to enhance healthcare infrastructure and improve patient care. The growing trend is evident due to the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and health information and quality of care delivery systems. The Saudi government has implemented various initiatives to enhance medication in recent years involving increasing medical spending and encouraging private sector participation in the medical care system.
The growth of Saudi Arabia's healthcare market can be attributed to the development of strategies aimed at reducing healthcare costs. These strategies include promoting healthy lifestyles through various initiatives such as public awareness campaigns on healthy living habits, increasing access to care through the implementation of telemedicine technologies, preventative medicine programs aimed at detecting diseases at an early stage, telemedicine services that enable remote consultations with medical providers, as well as other automated medication technologies such as wearable devices and mobile health applications. These initiatives are helping to improve medication outcomes while also reducing overall costs for patients in Saudi Arabia.
The introduction of virtual hospitals and e-healthcare services and platforms is expected to contribute to the Saudi Arabian digital health market. For instance, in March 2022, Saudi Arabia introduced Seha Virtual Hospital. It is the country’s first & largest e-health platform that offers more than 30 specialized services and assistances to 130 hospitals virtually across the country. This is further expected to drive the market’s growth.
