Health Tourism Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Rise in globalization trend

Globalization has been a major driving factor for medical tourism, helping many consumers get the best quality and valued health care treatments. Thus, globalization 75% provides better health treatments and helps save expenses from 25% to 75%, especially for Americans and citizens of developed countries. Hence, the globalization trend allows consumers to get treated with low-cost and advanced treatments across international borders and is expected to drive the global health tourism market.

• Rise in the demand for online medical agencies (OMA)

Most of the countries have developed strategies to promote the digitalization in healthcare services, which creates a demand to seek the best and most valued treatment irrespective of the region; thus, collaboration with foreign organizations improves and if there is a rise in the diagnostics and surgical treatments, it will boost the demand for medical tourism. Thus, the adoption of connectivity technologies, digital platforms and telemedicine is expected to drive the market growth.

• Higher probability of long waiting lists in developed countries

 The presence of long waiting lists in developed countries, and the currency rate is overvalued compared to developing countries which can be another advantage for the patients in the developed countries to travel to developing countries to bypass the waiting list and get treated on time at a very low price. Thus, the long waiting lists in developed countries are expected to drive the global health tourism market.

Restraints

• Complications in the transfer of medical records

The medical record transfer issue breaks the healthcare system into multiple levels, killing untold patients daily. The doctors and physicians should understand that it is not a medical free market that patients can take advantage of when they are already ill and need emergency treatment. Such an issue is expected to restrain the global health tourism market.

• Upsurge in complexities due to visa management

The visa information confirmation and the visa processing approvals take longer, which restricts the patients from having the correct treatment at the right time. Delays in treatment can also lead to serious health effects in the patient.

The fraudulent activities, delays and expenses related to visa management will restrict the travelling procedures of the patients, and this is expected to restrict the market growth.

• Implications of travelling restrictions

The international spread of the COVID-19 outbreak has forced to inculcate the lockdown and restriction situation in all global countries. In this accordance, most major and developed countries such as the U.S., U.K., Germany, Australia, India, Japan and many others have had travelling restrictions for several months, even after WHO denounced the restrictions on international travelling.

Similarly, not only the pandemic situation, any major situation such as war or crisis will impact the tourism industry. The restrictions implicated or the change in the travelling route will have a major impact on inflating the travelling cost, which is expected to restrict the global health tourism market.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Health Tourism Market

COVID-19 created a major impact on the health tourism market as almost every country opted for the shutdown for every production facility except the ones dealing in producing the essential goods. The government took some strict actions such as the shutdown of production and sale of non-essential goods, blocked international trade, and many more to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The only business which was dealing in this pandemic situation were the essential services that were allowed to open and run the processes.

The health tourism market is impacted because of increase in the travelling restrictions across many countries which has halted the travelling facilities. Moreover, the trade wars due to decline in the economic conditions in many developing countries were caused due to shutdown of the market of many major industries. However, COVID-19 had an adverse effect on the health tourism market as there was no transportation facilities across countries for consumers and most of the companies had shut their medical tourism operations temporarily for some months.
