The Indian healthcare industry is set for exponential growth, along with a substantial improvement in healthcare infrastructure and workforce. By FY2022 revenue generated by the industry is anticipated to reach US $372 billion growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16-17%, from US $160 billion in FY2017, catalyzed by favorable government policies and overall business environment. Over the years, the Government has worked to position healthcare as one of the largest industries, both in terms of revenue and employment.
 
Major emerging innovations in Indian healthcare, such as 3D Printing, Biosimilars, Zikavac, etc. are likely to drive the market growth along with an improvement in technological capabilities. An increase in venture capital funding, ably supported by government activities, has brought about impactful innovations in India. The surge in disposable incomes, rising accessibility to better healthcare facilities, pre-eminent awareness about personal health and hygiene, and overall economic prosperity have boosted India’s per capita healthcare expenditure. Public and private players have also been increasing their expenditure on healthcare. By 2025, the Indian Government plans to increase its public health expenditure to 2.5% of the country’s GDP. Various policy measures and infrastructural improvements have been undertaken to meet this target.
 
Frost & Sullivan’s study – An Overview of Indian Healthcare Industry, 2019, finds that the Indian market is primed and well-positioned for further growth. Small and medium businesses can also make a good mark on this growing industry aided by substantial investments, support activities, evolving technology, and an expanding domestic market.
