Report Description
The global blockchain technology in healthcare market size is expected to expand at a CAGR of 72.8% from 2021 to 2028, from USD 58.90 million in 2021. Blockchain, known as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), uses distributed cryptographic hashes to make the history of digital assets immutable and transparent. Assets are either tangible (property, homes, cash, cars) or intangible (intellectual property, copyrights, patents, trademarks).
On a blockchain network, virtually anything of value is tracked and traced, lowering risk and costs for all parties involved. A blockchain network tracks orders, payments, accounts, production, and a variety of other things. Blockchain is an especially revolutionary and promising technology, as it reduces risk, eliminates fraud, and increases transparency in a scalable manner for a wide range of applications.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- The potential of blockchain technology in the health sector generated a lot of buzz, and few practical applications of the technology have been implemented in real-world health care settings. The market is expected to grow as a result of technological collaborations, government initiatives, and emerging startups. Currently, the industry is in its infancy, and healthcare and technology companies are collaborating on methods to leverage blockchain at various stages.
- Rising applications of Blockchain technology by healthcare industries. Blockchain technology sparked the attention of healthcare providers and biomedical experts across a wide variety of healthcare domains, including automated claims, longitudinal healthcare records, drug development, patient portals, medical research, interoperability in population health, consumer health, reduction in cost through supply chain management, and data security.
- Increasing adoption of blockchain as a service (BaaS) is driving the market. Blockchain as a service (BaaS) is driving widespread adoption of the technology, as it allows businesses to experiment with blockchain-based applications. BaaS is especially appealing to small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Cloud service powerhouses such as IBM, Amazon, and Microsoft dominate the BaaS model.
- Growing healthcare data breaches. In the long run, the occurrence of data breaches in the medical care industry increased dramatically. According to HIPPA, the HHS Civil Rights Agency received 3,705 information breach reports with more than 500 records in the medical sector between 2009 and 2020. These breaches resulted in the loss, theft, fraudulent disclosure, or disclosure of 268,189,693 patient records. This rate is expected to more than double by December 2020.
- The pandemic is expected to generate vast amounts of data and stimulate the demand for data management.
- Lack of awareness, understanding, and reluctance to reveal data impedes global blockchain technology in healthcare market growth. Majority of healthcare providers and payers, particularly in developing countries, are hesitant to disclose data, due to lack of medical data exchange regulations, These factors hamper the market growth.
- Blockchain technology is still in its early stages. Enterprises are expected to extend their existing IT systems with blockchain-based systems to test their functionality and, as a result, upgrade internal business processes and models. Rising government initiatives are a significant opportunity in the blockchain technology in healthcare market. Blockchain technology is gaining attraction as a viable solution in the healthcare industry. With the help of blockchain technology, many startups began addressing major issues in the healthcare industry (medical record interoperability, and preventing counterfeit drugs from entering the pharmaceutical supply chain), which are expected to boost the blockchain technology in healthcare market in the forecast period.

Global Blockchain Technology in Healthcare Market Segment Insights
Low cost and large database of public networks to drive the market
In terms of types, the global market is segmented into public and private. The public blockchain system is commonly used for data management. Currently, Ethereum, a public network, is a commonly used technology in healthcare. Low cost and access to a large database are the major factors leading to the growth of public networks. Hence, the public segment is expected to grow at a rapid rate during the forecast period.
High applications of blockchain technology in supply chain management to drive the market
Based on applications, the global blockchain technology in healthcare market is segmented into clinical data exchange & interoperability, claims adjudication & billing, patient data management, supply chain management, clinical trials & e-consenting, and other applications. In 2020, the supply chain management segment held a significant share of the market.
Blockchain applications aid in the preservation of data integrity. Additionally, the technology assists pharmaceutical companies in facilitating interoperability with the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It helps in the recruitment of clinical trial candidates and the regulation of the drug supply chain. The clinical trials segment is expected to expand at a rapid rate. Using technology in clinical trials allows patients to have complete control over their data during the forecast period.
High need for secure exchange of health information to drive the market
Based on end-users, the global blockchain technology in healthcare market is segmented into pharmaceutical companies, healthcare payers, healthcare providers, and other end-users. The pharmaceutical companies segment accounted for a sizable share of the healthcare blockchain market, while the healthcare payers segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period. Growth in the healthcare payer segment is attributed to the need for secure exchange of health information between healthcare providers and payers, increased insurance fraud, improved operational efficiency of healthcare institutions, and increased medical tourism.
Growing investment in technologies in North America to drive the market
In terms of regions, the global market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to hold a substantial share of the market in the forecast period. As a result of growing investment in developing technologies in the US healthcare sector, Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are on the rise, leading to increased demand for safe, secure, and managed data sharing among companies, major players, and other healthcare organizations that are investing in the blockchain market.
The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as growing population, improved healthcare infrastructure, and other healthcare IT solutions, and the growing need to prevent counterfeit drugs from entering the supply chain.
