Global Blockchain in Healthcare Market: Focus on Industry Analysis and Opportunity Matrix - Analysis and Forecast, 2018-2025
The development in providing efficient health-care services is heavily dependent on advances in the information technology, and particularly in the ability to record and store information easily and economically and share it securely among disparate applications and systems. However, less than 10% of healthcare organizations regularly share medical information with providers outside of their organization. The lack of interoperability and limited linkage between the healthcare storage systems, makes it difficult to transmit, retrieve, clean and analyze data. Thus, most of the data is contained in silos. Additionally, there are widespread concerns regarding security and privacy about storage and exchange of data as healthcare organizations have been subjected to growing number of data breaches and malicious attacks. Blockchain technology is increasingly being touted as the panacea for the interoperability and security issues that plague the antiquated health systems.
The global blockchain in the healthcare market is estimated to amount to $5.61 billion by 2025, witnessing a double-digit growth throughout the forecast period of 2018-2025.
