Telemedicine Market

The constant revolution in the telecommunication technology has positively impacted the healthcare sector through the widespread use of mobiles, smartphones, radio, internet, and the computers. The merger of telecommunication technology and medical sciences has led to the creation of telemedicine. The time and cost efficiency is highly favored by urban and rural healthcare institutions. Furthermore, the rise in tech savvy citizens and increase in government reimbursement is expected to boost the market for telemedicine. However, the lack of trained medical personnel specializing in telemedicine is a hindering factor for the market.

Geographically, the global telemedicine market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia and Rest of the World (RoW: Latin America, Pacific Countries, and Africa).
