The Switzerland healthcare & medical tourism market size is anticipated to reach USD 106.3 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.4% from 2023 to 2030. The high quality of care, the expansion of the service portfolio by care providers, and initiatives to promote medical tourism are anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
As medical tourism is a key contributor to market growth, the government is undertaking efforts to improve the quality of care. The total number of tourists traveling to Switzerland for medical treatment is rapidly increasing. Even though the cost of medical care is high compared to other European countries, Switzerland has always been a popular destination for medical tourism. This can be attributed to the well-established healthcare infrastructure with trained healthcare professionals, high-quality care, high patient privacy standards, and beautiful locations.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the medical tourism industry. Due to travel restrictions and fear of contracting the coronavirus, many patients postponed their plans and/or had to seek treatment in their own countries. Many wellness resorts and hospitals witnessed a decline in overnight stays due to the pandemic.
Partnerships and collaborations to provide care enabled service providers to compete with other players and establish a strong foothold in the market. In August 2020, Berit Klinik announced its collaboration with the Appenzell Ausserrhoden Hospital Association to set up a private-public partnership. As part of the partnership, the two hospitals will jointly operate an orthopedic department at Heiden Hospital. The market also witnessed certain investments in establishing new healthcare centers. For instance, in January 2019, Clinique de Montchoisi, in collaboration with Dr. Piet Noé, funded the construction of Rwanda Charity Eye Hospital, a 100-bed hospital in Rwanda. Such measures assist in fulfilling the increasing demand for care services in the market.
