Healthcare Cloud Computing Market by Application, Deployment, Service, Pricing & by End-User - Analysis and Global Forecasts to 2020

Over the years, the adoption of cloud computing in healthcare has increased owing to the rising need to curtail healthcare costs and improve the quality of healthcare. Thus, stakeholders in the healthcare cloud computing market have implemented clinical information system (CIS) such as electronic medical records (EMR), computerized physician order entry (CPOE), and radiology information system (RIS). These technologies offers easier and faster access to data depending on the way it is stored—that is, on public, private, or hybrid clouds.

In 2014, the clinical information systems (CIS) segment accounted for the largest share of the global healthcare cloud computing market, by application; the private cloud segment accounted for the largest share of the healthcare cloud computing market, by deployment model; the software-as-a-service (SaaS) segment accounted for the largest share, by service model; the pay-as-you-go segment accounted for the largest share of the healthcare cloud computing market, by pricing model; the software segment accounted for the largest share of the healthcare cloud computing market, by component; and the healthcare providers segment accounted for the largest share of the healthcare cloud computing market, by end user.

In 2014, North America accounted for the largest share of the global healthcare cloud computing market, followed by Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). In the coming years, the healthcare cloud computing market is expected to witness the highest growth rate in North America, with emphasis on the U.S. The market for healthcare cloud computing in the U.S. is expected to rise due to increased insurance enrollment triggered by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (March 2010), inadequate IT infrastructure among payers, and conference, symposia, and seminars conducted on cloud computing in the U.S.

The global healthcare cloud computing market witnesses high competitive intensity as there are several big and many small firms with similar product offerings. These companies adopt various strategies (agreements, partnerships, collaborations, geographical expansion, and new product launches) to increase their market shares and establish a strong foothold in the global market.
