europe patient portal Market

The Europe patient portal market is expected to reach US$ 3,317.17 million by 2027 from US$ 836.85 million in 2019, it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% from 2020 to 2027.

The market growth is attributed to key driving factors such as rising number of healthcare facilities adopting the patient portals and increasing demand for Electronic Health Record (EHR). Further, increasing  use of cloud-based patient portal solutions would offer lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. However, concerns regarding breach of privacy of patient records restrain the market growth.

Governments worldwide are focusing on laying down the standards, regulations, and infrastructure for maintaining health records, which is increasing the demand for patient portals.

Therefore, increasing adoption of the patient-centric approach and rising investment in healthcare IT infrastructure drive the Europe patient portal market.

As a result, patients are increasingly using a patient portal to manage their clinical care, which is supporting the growth of the Europe patient portal market amid the pandemic.
