Healthcare Mobility Solutions Market by Products & Services, Application, End User - Global Forecast to 2020

The global healthcare mobility solutions market is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR of 25% to 30% during the forecast period (2015 to 2020). Factors such as rising adoption of mobile computers such as smartphones and tablets in healthcare systems, rising focus on patient-centric applications, better cost efficiency of mobility solutions resulting in streamlined workflow, shortage of nursing staff and doctors promoting the adoption of mobility solutions, and rapidly growing penetration of wireless networks such as 2G and 3G are expected to fuel the growth of the global healthcare mobility solutions market during the forecast period. The healthcare industry across the globe is facing challenges such as increasing costs, tighter regulatory environment, increasing error rates, declining profitability, and rising demand for quality care. Mobility addresses most of these challenges by making healthcare organizations more responsive to the market demand. Consumers, on the other hand, are showing greater preferences to mobile medical devices and healthcare applications owing of their convenience, affordability, and timely medical assistance offered at the point of need. These factors provide significant opportunities for the growth of the healthcare mobility solutions market in the coming years.

The global healthcare mobility solutions market is segmented on the basis of products and services, applications, end users, and regions. Based on products and services, the market is segmented into mobile devices, mobile applications, and enterprise platforms. The mobile devices market covers mobile computers, RFID scanners, and barcode scanners. On the basis of applications, the market is classified into patient care management, operations management, and workforce management. By end user, this market is divided into payers, providers, and patients. On the basis of regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (Latin America and Middle East and Africa).

North America accounted for a major share of the healthcare mobility solutions market, accounting for about ~55% of the global market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific and RoW possess lucrative growth potential for this market mainly due to the growing number of healthcare organizations such as hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and other ambulatory care settings; and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and disorders which need continuous patient monitoring.
