Healthcare Electronic Data Interchange Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Component (Services, Solutions), By Delivery Mode, By End-use (Healthcare Payers, Healthcare Providers), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global healthcare electronic data interchange market size was valued at USD 4.41 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2023 to 2030. Rising need to curb healthcare costs coupled with technological advancements in electronic data interchange is expected to facilitate market growth. Additionally, a surge in the number of end-users coupled with increasing adoption of EDI is expected to support the market growth during the forecast period. Healthcare EDI helps in the automation of business processes from claims submission and payment, insurance eligibility checks, and data reporting. According to the Maryland Healthcare Commission, claim submissions are considered to be the most common electronic transaction in health care.

Electronic data interchange helps in keeping healthcare costs at an affordable level, improving the quality of healthcare delivery and its supporting process, and making accurate, fast, reliable, secure, and detailed information. The use of paper form can be cumbersome, incompetent, and costlier when it needs to distribute, retrieve, consolidate, and look for data. Electronic data interchange helps in minimizing these kinds of time-consuming processes and streamlines the claim management processes.

Technologically advanced electronic data interchange services/solutions such as web-based EDI help to address issues regarding confidentiality, authentication, and data integrity. Developments in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X12 EDI formatting standard have made electronic data interchange useful for Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions. The emergence of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and web-based standards in electronic data interchange is pacing the growth of this industry.

Various methods or delivery modes are used to deliver electronic data interchange services/solutions such as web and cloud-based EDI, EDI Value Added Network (VAN), Direct (point-to-point) EDI, Mobile EDI, Applicability Statement version 2 (AS2), File Transfer Protocol over Virtual Private Network (FTP/VPN), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) or File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS).

Moreover, an increasing number of end-users are expected to propel the demand for electronic data interchange services/solutions over the market period. The end-users include payers, providers, pharmaceutical & medical device industries, and others. A surge in the number of hospitals in the UK, France, Germany, and Denmark, which are adopting cost curtailing strategies through the use of electronic data interchange coupled with increased tie-ups with their vendors or suppliers is expected to support the growth of this space during the forecast period. Pharmaceutical industries and medical device manufacturers are also adopting electronic data interchange services owing to growing competitiveness, pricing pressure, and lower profit margins, resulting in market growth.
