Global AI in healthcare market to expand at CAGR of 36.4%

Experts universally see that the AI in the healthcare market will continue to reach new highs throughout this decade. A report from Grand View Research said that the global AI in healthcare market size was estimated at USD 22.45 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.4% from 2024 to 2030. The report said: “Growing datasets of patient health-related digital information, increasing demand for personalized medicine, and rising need to reduce care expenses are some major drivers of market growth. The rising global geriatric population, changing lifestyles, and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases have contributed to a growth in demand for diagnosing and improved understanding of diseases in their initial stages. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms are being widely adopted and integrated into healthcare systems to accurately predict diseases in their early stage based on historical health datasets. Furthermore, deep learning technologies, predictive analytics, content analytics, and natural language processing (NLP) tools are enabling care professionals to diagnose patient’s underlying health conditions at an earlier stage. The Covid-19 pandemic positively influenced the demand for AI technologies and unearthed the potential of these advanced technologies. Healthcare systems widely adopted these technologies in the rapid diagnosis and detection of different virus strains and utilized personalized information in improving the management of the outbreak. AI/ML algorithms were utilized in the diagnosis sector wherein these technologically driven modules were trained with datasets of chest CT images, symptoms, pathological findings, and exposure history to diagnose Covid-19-positive patients rapidly and accurately.”

Grand View Research continued: “The growing shortage of healthcare workforce drove the adoption of AI/ML technologies. Therefore, AI algorithms can be trained to analyze patient health information, which further supports care providers in quickly diagnosing the condition and devising an accurate treatment regime. Supportive government initiatives, rising number of mergers and acquisitions and technological collaborations, and Covid-19 pandemic had a significant role in boosting the growth of the market and accelerating the adoption rate of AI in healthcare. AI/ML algorithms are being widely implemented in rapid and accurate diagnosis of medical conditions after the initial implementation in the detection of Covid-19 positive patients using personalized patient information and data consolidation. North America dominated the market in 2023 and held the largest revenue share of 57.7%, owing to advancements in healthcare IT infrastructure, growing care expenditures, widespread adoption of AI/ML technologies, favorable government initiatives, lucrative funding options, and presence of several key market players.” FN Media Group
