UAE Digital Health Market Size To Reach $2.65 Billion By 2030

UAE Digital Health Market Growth & Trends

The UAE digital health market size is expected to reach USD 2.65 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 23.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing growth driven by the increased usage of smartphones, advancements in internet connectivity, development of IT infrastructure, high healthcare IT expenditures, overburdened healthcare facilities, shortage of healthcare providers, rising demand for remote patient monitoring (RPM) services, growing medical costs, improved accessibility to virtual care services, and prevalence of chronic diseases. This growth is further propelled by the ongoing trend of digitalization in healthcare. This trend finds support in expanding public-private partnerships, emerging startups in the healthcare sector, and favorable initiatives undertaken by governments to promote digital health solutions.

Digital health encompasses diverse technologies, such as telehealth services, health information technology, and mobile health (mHealth), to enhance communication within healthcare systems, fostering improved interactions between doctors and patients. The relevance of digital health technology has grown significantly, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. These contemporary solutions enhance the patient-doctor relationship and extend preventive disease strategies. Furthermore, they contribute to a shift in healthcare towards value-based treatment, amplifying the accessibility of health information for both patients and healthcare providers.

UAE is one of the most favorable markets for healthcare and digital platforms. Factors, such as government aid to innovative startups and high funding by the government to promote digital health, are propelling market growth in the country. Moreover, key players are focusing on developing newer products to meet the growing demand for better care. For instance, in March 2023, a Dubai resident launched an app made to innovatively empower pregnant women with guidance and professional care throughout their pregnancy, fertility, & motherhood. All these abovementioned factors are encouraging companies, patients, and physicians in the UAE to embrace digital healthcare solutions.

Several healthcare professionals and researchers in the UAE are embracing digital healthcare platforms, revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Changes in UAE’s healthcare industry include the introduction of paperless patient records, software-enabled diagnostic systems, robotic surgery, telehealth, and ePharmacy. For instance, the UAE government launched Wareed, an electronic healthcare information system that links all the MoH-operated clinics and hospitals to provide seamless data sharing to save time & costs.

Furthermore, in October 2023, the Abu Dhabi Department of Health (DoH) launched an innovative Health App with advanced features. The application is designed to empower residents with a convenient, highly personalized, and efficient healthcare experience. It will also provide seamless & secure access to integrated medical records in Malaffi, the Abu Dhabi Health Information Exchange, enable searching for a doctor & effortlessly booking appointments, and offer real-time health data tracking & insights. This user-centric approach to healthcare aligns with the DoH’s vision of putting patients at the center of a streamlined, connected, and holistic healthcare solution.
