The mobile devices segment held the largest share in 2015 owing to the increased adoption of mobile equipment, such as smartphones and tablets, and the robust dissemination of uninterrupted 3G and 4G networks, which causes a boost in the adoption of these devices.

The uses of mobile application have proved very effective in spreading awareness about the causative, preventive, and curative agents of chronic diseases.

Using this platform, the WHO educated more than 3.6 billion people regarding the ill effects of tobacco.

Enterprise solution segment dominated the overall healthcare mobility solutions market in 2015 due to rising demand and secure as well as cost-efficient business solutions. Increasing demand for enhanced operational efficiency, optimizing internal procedures, and operational cost reduction are the factors driving the demand for enterprise mobility solutions over the forecast period.

Furthermore, associated benefits with the use of these services, such as meeting the demand of consumers, improved patient engagement in the medical delivery system, and secure information sharing, are expected to fuel the growth in the near future.

End-Use Insights

Healthcare providers held the largest market share as of 2015 due to extensive usage of enterprise mobility solutions in hospitals for maintaining electronic health records, managing, treating, & assessing patients’ health online, and providing medical education. In addition, increasing impact of social media is one of the key contributing factors for segment growth.

Social media is an integral part of life nowadays and this media has moved from being just a tool for sharing private status to being a platform for serious discussion and has become a business platform. Although the healthcare industry is restricted by regulatory protocols, the utility of social media is creating a huge impact on the modern health industry.

In 2015, North America held the largest share owing to the presence of favorable government initiatives pertaining to the adoption of mHealth applications in the hospitals. Hence, higher penetration of mHealth application in this region is a key contributing factor for growth. For instance, according to statistics published in the white paper of Infosys in 2015, 11% of adults in the U.S. are using mHealth applications to manage or track their health.

Asia Pacific market, on the other hand, is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR over the forecast period, owing to increasing awareness among end users and the increasing adoption of mHealth apps by health providers.
