Market Dynamics
Increasing Deployment of Cloud-Based Software Solutions
The wide-scale deployment of cloud-based software solutions by healthcare organizations across the healthcare workflow is projected to drive market growth. This widespread deployment is majorly aided by the growing inclination of healthcare professionals and organizations to digitize workflow, rising focus on optimizing labor resources by organizations, and industry-level focus on developing data-focused patient management capabilities. Further, the industry-level emphasis on developing & incorporating capabilities such as automation tools for patient management and AI-powered medical imaging diagnostics tools is necessitating the use of cloud-based solutions for seamless operations. For instance, in June 2024, AGFA HealthCare secured a major contract with Alliance Medical to implement a cloud-based solution at 120 UK sites, on the AGFA HealthCare Enterprise Imaging Platform. This will underpin the Future Unified Diagnostic Information System for Alliance Medical and smooth the patient pathway.
Rising Demand for Virtual Healthcare is Driving Market Growth
The global virtual healthcare market has seen exponential growth within the last couple of years owing to increasing telemedicine services, developments of remote patient monitoring tools, and rising inclination from patients towards virtual consultation for basic health requirements. The industry-level shift has advocated the requirement for maintenance of robust infrastructure for data storage & accessibility needs, which can be economically achieved through the use of healthcare cloud computing solutions such as cloud-based EHR tools and telemedicine platforms, among others. Further, the market dynamics for the expansion of healthcare organization business footprint and rising consumer propensity to access more convenient healthcare solutions are expected to boost the healthcare cloud computing market. For instance, in April 2024, WELL Health Technologies Corp. partnered with Microsoft under a five-year agreement to drive further digital transformation in healthcare across North America and beyond. The partnership will see WELL bring Microsoft Cloud and AI capabilities into its platform for a more agile delivery of healthcare, the company added.

Software-As-a-Service: A Key Segment in Market Growth
The software-as-a-service segment is projected to remain an important service model across the healthcare cloud computing market due to its low deployment costs for end-user organizations, increasing relevance of SaaS tools including EHRs and telemedicine platforms, lesser infrastructure requirements for incorporating SaaS services, and rising inclination by smaller health cloud computing startups to provide SaaS solutions for market entry & expansion. For instance, Evergreen AI launched a SaaS cloud version of TeraRecon's AI-enabled solutions, blending Intuition Advanced Visualization, Eureka Clinical AI, and CARAai in one platform.
Regional Outlook
The global healthcare cloud computing market is further divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America)
North America Dominates the Global Healthcare Cloud Computing Market
North America comprises the largest share of the global healthcare cloud computing market due to the presence of many major players, including Google, IBM, AWS, and Oracle, the stringent policies enacted such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that enforce the safe digital storage of healthcare records and the growing virtual healthcare market. Further, the regional markets have registered multiple partnerships from the industry players to develop next-gen product offerings that leverage healthcare cloud computing. For example, Servier and Google Cloud have extended their five-year partnership till January 2025 to unlock the power of AI and generative AI across the company's R&D, production, and distribution. It bolsters Servier's ramp to digital transformation while building up its cloud and data strategy toward innovations in therapy development solutions.
