The global health information exchange market size was valued at USD 2.02 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2024 to 2030. The health information exchange (HIE) market is expected to expand because of several factors. Healthcare providers need easier access to patient information and better tools to manage vast amounts of data. Moreover, the demand for HIE systems is surging, as the need to grow digitally and securely store and share large amounts of complex healthcare data increases.
Government support for healthcare information technology to improve care quality is another key driver. For instance, in May 2023, Ontario launched a health information exchange (HIE) system called eHub to improve patient care. This system, enabled by Oracle, allows 21 hospitals to securely share patient data, making communication more efficient and reducing the administrative burden. This collaboration between healthcare providers and TransForm aims to enhance care coordination for Ontarians.
Government initiatives and regulations propel the HIE market with the help of regulators such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by providing policies and incentives for adopting electronic health records (EHR) and HIE systems. These measures aim to enhance healthcare quality and reduce costs through efficient data exchange. For instance, in April 2024, to improve data exchange between healthcare and public health organizations, the CDC updated the Public Health Data Strategy for 2024-2025. This builds on their initial strategy launched in 2023. The goal was to address data-sharing challenges and ensure a faster response to public health threats.
Technological advancements are boosting the HIE market through innovations in health IT infrastructure, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and interoperability standards. These technologies facilitate more efficient and secure data exchange among healthcare providers. For instance, in July 2024, Flinders University was developing SMART-PH, Australia's AI-powered public health data platform. This platform aims to improve public health surveillance and emergency response by enabling real-time information sharing between healthcare providers and public health authorities.
Private HIEs dominated the market, accounting for a share of 63.6% in 2023, and are expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 10.0% over the forecast period. The growth of private health information providers and strong physician involvement drives the use of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). Private HIEs offer easier internal data sharing within healthcare systems and connect seamlessly to public health networks. This efficiency and reduced administrative burden are expected to increase HIE adoption further.
The public HIE segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1% over the forecast period. Public HIE had a significant market share in the health information exchange market. This segment functions comparatively large due to its extensive spread over the entire community or state. The heavy involvement of the provider community for funding and federal backing are some of the factors that make public HIE more sustainable and thus contribute to market growth. For instance, in February 2024, EHEALTH EXCHANGE announced that the first five HIEs or public health agencies to agree by April 2024 to exchange data for a specific public health use case would get three years of waived annual fees. This incentivizes early adoption for a more robust public health data network.
The hybrid HIE Model accounted for the largest market revenue share with 60.6% in 2023. The incorporation of the hybrid model offers improved operational efficiency and patient care delivery, which is presumed to propel the demand for the segment throughout the forecast period. For instance, in April 2024, a California non-profit health information exchange (HIE) started providing a free ADT service to encourage participation in the state's data-sharing program, aiming to improve care coordination.
The centralized HIE model is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% over the forecast period. The need to store health-related data, process, and access it when required, along with secure exchange, has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Several hospital systems worldwide created a private HIE system for patient data storage, including internal databases and referring physicians. Such systems are prone to use a centralized HIE model as they have a single, private governing organization, thus boosting the segment growth soon. This model is essential during urgent access to a patient’s history or previous data.
The portal segment dominated the market with revenue share of 40.4% in 2023. The large share can be attributed to the rising number of web portal developments facilitating enhanced and convenient access to healthcare information.
The platform segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 10.8% over the forecast period. For instance, “Healthix” is one of the public Health Information Exchanges (HIE) in the U.S. and serves New York. They collect data from more than 9,000 healthcare facilities for over 21 million patients. Moreover, government initiatives such as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) focusing on patient engagement are the key factors that are expected to provide the growth platform for this segment.
The web portal development segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 64.3% in 2023. This can be attributed to the increased accessibility of patient health data, which is accessible through patient portals. For instance, Fujitsu launched a new cloud-based platform for the healthcare sector in Japan to promote personalized healthcare and drug development in March 2023. This platform automatically converts electronic data from medical institutions and can support pharmaceutical companies in R&D activities, discovery of new drugs, personalized healthcare, and medical institutions. Such launches contribute in market growth.
The internal interfacing segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 11.5% over the forecast period, owing to its ability to collect maximum patient information with the help of a robust IT structure. Also, the rapid increase in the importance of integrated HIE and internal systems for a seamless flow of health information is attributed to the segment's growth.
The North American health information exchange market dominated in 2023. This is attributable to favorable government initiatives to encourage the adoption of health information exchange across various industries. Government authorities in North America invest in AI research and development, establish specialized research institutes and centers, and fund AI-related projects. They also utilize AI in many fields, such as enhancing public safety and transportation and promoting healthcare innovation.
The health information exchange market in the U.S. dominated the market with a share of 85.0% in 2023 due to several strategic activities in the region by key market players, such as the launch of new technology, collaborations, and partnerships.
