Some of the major market players operating in the medical tourism industry are Apollo Hospital Enterprise Limited, Fortis Healthcare Limited, Asklepios Kliniken GmbH & Co. KGaA and Max Healthcare.
The medical tourism market value is likely to cross USD 107 billion by 2030, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
Growing knowledge regarding the advantages of medical tourism among patients is cited as the primary factor affecting the market expansion. Medical tourism is becoming more and more popular, as commercial, and public healthcare facilities launch various campaigns to promote the same. For instance, the Indian Government has recently launched the 'Heal in India' campaign with the aim of helping those who wish to avail AYUSH therapies conveniently. The campaign entails setting up specialized desks at ten airports, along with a bilingual portal and easy-to-navigate visa requirements.
One of the main drivers influencing the expansion of the medical tourism market in developing countries is the high expense of medical treatment procedures in wealthy nations across North America, and Europe. Challenges associated with obtaining health insurance in these nations also act as a chief driver for the industry. To promote the expansion of the medical tourism industry, the governments of economies like Thailand, India, and Singapore rent out facilities at discounted rates and supply incentives to potential visitors and service providers.
A few specialized medical treatments are only available in selected countries leading to a long waiting period which can cause treatment to be delayed and be potentially dangerous for patients. As per the report, this is a major restraining factor for the medical tourism industry growth. Organ transplantation procedures necessitate precise organ matching, and the recipient must wait longer for a matching donor to be found. Furthermore, delays in obtaining suitable visas and political instability are significant factors that may hinder the industry expansion.
