Technavio's analysts have provided extensive insight into the Internet of Things in the market forecast, detailing the regional trends and drivers influencing the market's trajectory throughout the forecast period. The US is a major revenue contributor to the Internet of Things in the market. The IoT in the healthcare market will witness growth in North America owing to high healthcare expenditure and the adoption of advanced technologies, including IoT, in the sector. The US federal government has enacted legislation such as the Affordable Care Act and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act to promote the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) in the sector. The US government provides incentives for healthcare providers and facilities to use EMRs, workforce training, and EMR infrastructure improvements. These factors will drive the adoption of IoT devices.
In addition, healthcare providers have increased their spending on remote patient monitoring, thereby increasing the adoption of sensors and wireless devices. The use of wearables to monitor human health and the environment is another reason that drives the IoT in the healthcare market. IoT wearables help consumers understand their own needs and allow doctors to monitor patients remotely. This technology also allows businesses to track their employee's health and safety, which is especially beneficial for people who work in dangerous environments. Such factors are expected to drive market growth in North America during the forecast period.
The market in healthcare is witnessing remarkable growth, driven by the convergence of advanced technologies and the pressing need for innovative healthcare solutions. Wearable medical devices, smart inhalers, and remote patient monitoring systems powered by IoT devices and wearable sensors are transforming patient care, especially for chronic disorders like COPD and genetic disorders. These devices enable continuous monitoring of vital signs and facilitate remote device management, enhancing patient outcomes and reducing hospital visits. The proliferation of IoT devices also streamlines clinical imaging and testing procedures, revolutionizing drug development and research. However, challenges such as application and network security, as well as bandwidth management, require advanced software and system solutions to ensure data integrity and patient privacy. As the healthcare industry embraces digitalization, IoT emerges as a cornerstone technology, driving advancements in medical devices, information processing systems, and data analytics to deliver personalized and efficient healthcare services.
Improving healthcare management through IoT-enabled devices and connected devices is notably driving market growth. It helps increase the efficiency of the workforce at healthcare facilities and reduce operational costs. This has a number of staff members and inventories. Using IoT devices and digital healthcare technology is one of the most inexpensive ways to keep track of equipment, drugs, and free resources. Diagnostics and therapeutic tools are enhanced through IoT, ensuring faster drug delivery, safer operations, and better patient care by combining the best safety approaches and the latest technology.
For instance, a smart refrigerator that is used to store drugs and vaccines keeps them from getting damaged during handling, storage, or transfer. The usage of IoT-enabled devices in pharmacies ensures greater efficiency and effectiveness in operations, error-free medical dispensing, and security. These factors, combined with big data analytics, machine learning, and logical methodologies in healthcare information systems, are driving the use of IoT in managing and, thereby, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Technological advancements in the healthcare sector are an emerging trend shaping market growth. IoT devices are used to capture and communicate data used by advanced technologies like AI and robotics. These technologies need real-time data capture and analysis. Data captured by wearable, ingestible, and embedded sensors, mobility patterns, and device usage allow for tracking patterns of user habits and can be effectively processed and analyzed to reveal critical conditions by using state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine/Deep Learning (ML/DL) based approaches.
Moreover, there is growing interest in cloud, fog, and edge computing emerging for data processing, analysis, correlation, and inference. For data transfer, these technologies exploit the full potential of edge nodes and low-level fog nodes, which require intelligent mapping of computational and resource management tasks across the nodes and prove to meet the stringent requirements of IoMT systems. These factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of implementation of IoT is a significant challenge hindering market growth during the forecast period. The high cost of deployment and implementation of machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT can act as a growth inhibitor for some organizations, especially SMEs.
