Key Market Trends

The Diagnostic Equipment Segment is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share in the Home Healthcare Market

In response to the global COVID-19 epidemic, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government is taking preventative measures to prevent the virus from spreading. The COVID-19 epidemic produced numerous concerns and obstacles for investors and operators throughout the Middle East, notably in the United Arab Emirates, which is frequently regarded as a regional healthcare and business center. As a result, many healthcare transactions were abandoned or put on hold in 2020. Still, the region has since shown signs of a robust rebound in the transactional arena, especially in the healthcare business. The demand for telemedicine created by the pandemic, the possibility of enhancing systems to enhance healthcare delivery, and legislative developments such as the introduction of stringent health data privacy legislation have all contributed to heightened attention on HealthTech and MedTech transactions.

United Arab Emirates (UAE), to accommodate COVID-19 patients, the home healthcare industry has risen to assist patients with chronic diseases and other urgent medical requirements. Patients and their families are more aware, and public and private sector initiatives launched quickly have led to the emergence of home healthcare as an important method for dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic and similar future crises. Following COVID-19, it is projected that the public and private sectors' reliance on home care will grow. Current technical advancements, such as 5G, ERP systems, unified medical records, and digital platforms, will further facilitate this, fostering a better home care environment.

The diagnostic segment is expected to account for the most significant revenue over the forecast period due to a rise in the prevalence of chronic disorders, such as infectious diseases, diabetes, arthritis, cardiopulmonary, and cardiovascular conditions, which require continuous monitoring for efficient treatment. The rise in technological advancements in recent years led to the launch of new products for self-monitoring, like multi-parameter diagnostic monitors, home pregnancy, and fertility kits. This factor resulted in high demand for these diagnostic equipment driving the market revenue over the forecast period.
