Key industry insights
•The global medical tourism market was estimated to exceed over USD 65 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 10% over the forecast period. The global medical tourism industry has a promising future with an expected number of travelers to increase by over 30% each year.
•The rise in geriatric population, increasing medical costs, worsening lifestyle habits, and high rates of chronic diseases are driving the costs of healthcare. In certain countries such as the U.S., an absence of insurance or coverage of certain ailments results in skyrocket prices of medical care. This forces consumers to seek other option for medical care, often out of their own country.
•The global medical tourism provides an economical alternative to uninsured or underinsured patients to obtain treatment. Moreover, patients requiring urgent medical care travel to countries where the waiting time is significantly less.
•Several governments are undertaking initiatives to attract tourists such as easing the visa process and upgrading their healthcare facilities. For instance, in 2017, the Indian government expanded the scope of e-tourist visa to include short-term medical treatment. The government has also undertaken initiatives to install separate immigration counters & facilitation desks to boost the domestic medical tourism market.
•The growing need for foreign healthcare has resulted in the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) in establishing the Joint Commission International (JCI). At present, there are over 220 accredited hospitals around the world providing quality medical care.
•Dental tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the global medical tourism industry. Patients are traveling to destinations such as Mexico, Thailand, Spain, Turkey, India, Hungary, and the Philippines as it saves 50-70% of the cost.
