Blockchain Technology in Healthcare Market size is set to exceed $1,636.7 (~€1447.28) million by 2025; according to a new research study published by Global Market Insights, Inc.
Increase in cost savings for several healthcare applications with the help of blockchain technology will drive the business growth in the forthcoming years. Blockchain is a recognised technology that is helping healthcare facilities save huge amount of money from frauds, counterfeit drugs and hence, positively impact the outcomes of healthcare. Healthcare data breaches cost around USD 380 (~EUR 336.11) per patient record, resulting in high annual losses. Hence, implementation of blockchain technology in healthcare will help save billions of dollars.
The world of blockchain technology
Growing application of Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare will result in huge demand and adoption rate of blockchain technology. Most of the leading players are using blockchain and IoT to improve patient results and optimise internal operations.
Several benefits such as real-time information and location of digital X-ray equipment in healthcare facilities will augment the blockchain demand across the globe. Increase in use of IoT for clinical services and clinical settings will boost the business growth in the forthcoming years.
Lack of skilled workforce will be one the major factors responsible for impeding the growth of blockchain technology in healthcare market in the near future. Limited number of people with blockchain technology knowledge and lack of blockchain training, programs and courses will result in sluggish business growth.
Applying tech in trials
Application of blockchain technology in clinical trials was valued around USD 6.9 million (~EUR 6.10 million) in the year 2018. The amount of risk involved, and unpredictability of clinical trials is one of the major drivers for implementing blockchain technology in healthcare. The blockchain technology in clinical trials use distributed computer network platform that helps databases to be secure and safe from infringements and hackers.
The safe and secure platform of blockchain will help store and process valuable information of clinical trials resulting in smooth workflow thereby, influencing the market growth positively.
