Global EHR EMR Market Drivers

Growing Number of Patients with Lifestyle and Chronic Diseases 

Chronic diseases have burdened countries all over the world. The growing number of patients diagnosed with chronic and lifestyle disorders has boosted the demand for remote monitoring and chronic disease management. For instance, according to the Center for Diseases Prevention and Control (CDC), chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. The management of these diseases adds up to USD 3.5 trillion in annual healthcare costs in the U.S. healthcare budget. Further, statistically as reported by the CDC, there are 34 million people in the country that are diagnosed as diabetic, around 1.6 million people are diagnosed with cancer, and more than 868,000 Americans die of heart disease and strokes every year.

To provide accurate and safe medical care to these patients, several hospitals are adopting EHR/EMRs. A statistical report published in the Third global survey on e-Health reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that there has been healthy growth in the adoption and usage of the national electronic health record (EHR) systems over the last decade, and approximately a 46% increase in the past half a decade globally.

Increasing Patient Awareness and Favorable Government Policies 

The healthcare IT and its components are the next in line technological empowerment that is being implemented rigorously to build a flawless and accurate medical and healthcare network. Many key stakeholders, including state and federal agencies, industry leaders, and medical practitioners, believe that EHR EMR systems have great potential to provide substantial benefits to physicians and health care organizations in offering better emergency medical care and accurate diagnosis.

  • Impact of covid-19

    The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a severe threat to the global food system by disrupting its long supply chains and logistics. A diverse local agriculture network can help urban areas create a more resilient food system for its residents. Furthermore, the pandemic has impacted markets and farm prices, supply chain slowdowns and shortages, farmers' health, farm workforce, and worker safety, among other disruptions. The farming sector has witnessed a sharp dip in the business, including the dealership network, and the reluctance of farmers to purchase expensive high-powered farm equipment in light of the pandemic.

    The governments are slowly lifting lockdowns after months of restrictions, which is anticipated to bring the farm equipment market opportunities to grow. The opening of manufacturing facilities, international borders, and favorable monsoon conditions in equatorial regions are expected to restore the global agriculture and farming industry. Government initiatives and support to farmers are also expected to encourage the farmer's morale. The U.S. government announced a USD 19 billion relief program to farmers, including USD 16 billion in direct payments to producers this year.
