The global block chain in healthcare market was valued at $531.19 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $ 16,300.43 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 40.8% from 2022 to 2031.
The healthcare system uses a blockchain network to store and share patient data across hospitals, diagnostic labs, pharmacy companies, and doctors. The patient is at the core of the healthcare ecosystem owing to blockchain technology, which improves the security, privacy, and interoperability of health data. By increasing the performance, disintermediation, and security of electronic medical records, this technology offers a new model for health information exchanges (HIE).
The rapid rise in the incidence of data breaches and the surge in the supply of counterfeit medicines are major factors that drive the market growth. In the black market, personal health information (PHI) or standard personally identifiable information (PII) is more valuable than credit card information. Cybercriminals have a greater motivation to target medical databases as a result. The PHI might be used or sold for their own financial advantage. According to the Health and Human Services, data breaches have affected over 15 million health records. Since data is held in discrete blocks in block chains, they are seen as being safer and less threatening of data breaches and thus significantly drive the growth of blockchain technology in the healthcare market.
In addition, the adoption of blockchain as a technology in the healthcare system flourishes the blockchain technology in the healthcare market growth. Blockchain helps in supply chain management, data exchange & interoperability, claim adjudication & billing management, and others. Furthermore, an increase in the supply of counterfeit drugs is expected to propel the growth of blockchain technology in the healthcare market. Blockchain by entering supply chain management can offer full protection from counterfeit drugs.
Moreover, many governments have adopted the blockchain as technology in their system, which can boost market growth. For instance, to guarantee the validity of immunization records, the healthcare company MDS Mexico, located in Mexico, launched a COVID-19 testing service that is enabled by blockchain technology. According to MDS Mexico, it is crucial to have valid evidence of a person's vaccination status as false vaccine certificates are frequently used to avoid quarantine. The blockchain business provides home-based PCR swab testing, fast test programs, and interpretation services. The results are certified using cryptography to assure their validity.
However, a lack of skilled professionals to handle blockchain technology in the healthcare industry and the lack of a common set of standards can impede the growth of the market. As blockchain technology in healthcare is sophisticated, it needs to be operated and managed by qualified professionals.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Blockchain Technology in Healthcare Market," the blockchain technology in healthcare market was valued at $531.19 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $16.30 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 40.8% from 2022 to 2031.A blockchain is a distributed database or ledger that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. A blockchain serves as an electronic database for storing data in digital form. Blocks have specific storage capabilities, and when filled, they are sealed and connected to the block that came before them to create the data chain is known as the blockchain. Every additional piece of information that comes after that newly added block is combined into a brand-new block, which is then added to the chain once it is full.
In the healthcare system, a blockchain network is used to store and share patient data among hospitals, diagnostic labs, drug companies, and doctors. It can enhance the efficiency, safety, and openness of the exchange of medical data within the healthcare system. Medical institutions can acquire insight and improve the analysis of patient information with the use of this technology.
