The Indian healthcare sector is one of the most booming sectors in terms of revenue and employment creation. It includes hospitals, medical devices, health insurance, telemedicine, clinical trials, medical tourism, and medical equipment. Rising cases of lifestyle-related illnesses, the demand for affordable healthcare services, technological advancements, and the penetration of health insurance are some of the key growth drivers for this sector.

The following points show why the Indian healthcare sector will continue to attract investment in 2021:

• Health Insurance – Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in awareness of health insurance products that resulted in the launch of affordable insurance products in the market. The Indian government has also launched the world’s largest government-funded healthcare insurance program. These developments are likely to improve the affordability of medical expenses.
• Infrastructure – The huge shortfall in the number of hospital beds and availability of advanced diagnostic equipment is creating a huge demand for large hospital ...
... chains, specialty centers, and other facilities to create the related infrastructure to meet the growing demand.
• Technology Penetration – Online technology platforms facilitating consultation to remotely located patients are in high demand especially in areas where the availability of medical professionals is limited.
• Medical Tourism – The Indian healthcare sector has become a preferred destination for foreign patients due to the quality medical services available at a lower cost compared to the developed countries. The continuous flow of foreign patients will contribute to the development of the overall economy of this sector.
• Opportunities in Smaller Cities – An increase in per capita income over the last few decades has increased the spending power for quality healthcare. Unlike big cities, where availability and utilization of health infrastructure are high, smaller cities are providing a huge opportunity to set up the entire infrastructure. Many big hospitals have already started expanding in small cities by creating small centers and partnering with local reputed doctors.
