The changes in various regional and national health care systems increasingly shape the push/pull factors in the medical tourism market in destination and departure jurisdictions.

Policy Makers Increasingly Influence Opportunities in Medical Tourism

Decisions by policy makers greatly shape the features of health care system. Adequate reimbursement policies, presence or lack of these, and the presence or absence of quality patient care that are publicly funded are key dynamics shaping the opportunities in the medical tourism market.

The prevailing payer-provider frameworks in healthcare systems thus determine the export and import of healthcare services in North America and Europe. Developed nations in these regions have been exporter as well as importer of patient care under medical tourism market. Thus, the presence of advanced care in multiple specialties, particularly in Thailand, South Africa, and India at low cost has made these high-growth pockets of investments for stakeholders in the medical tourism market. The presence of a substantial number of elderly patients in North America and Europe who want to seek care that typically not covered by state or national funding is a key driver for demand.

A case in point is the demand for care in non-emergency care in orthopedics and cardiology segments. Both are potentially lucrative segments, given the rise in number of patients due to age-related factors and sports injuries. The opportunities in cardiology are expected to rise at a higher CAGR than all other medical treatment segments during the forecast period.

Adherence to global healthcare standards and protocols of healthcare delivery have enabled countries in developing economies to become importer of medical tourism. The trend is evident in Asia Pacific, where hospitals and clinics are keen on complying with latest global health care standards. A number of them in recent years have advanced healthcare infrastructure and services in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Asia Pacific has been the most prominent market in terms of attracting demand from destination regions such as North America and Europe. The regional market held the majority of shares in 2019.

Numerous factors and healthcare trends account for the vast opportunities for stakeholders of the medical tourism market. For one, clinical expertise has expanded remarkably, and clinicians and surgeons are fast adopting new approaches to quality patient care. The low cost compared to one in some developed nations is a key factor propelling demand in the region.

Government Policies Increasingly Influence Uptake, Concerns Remain
