The clinical workflow solutions market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.09 billion in 2024 to $12.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in healthcare digitalization, electronic health records (ehr), increasing regulatory compliance, increased need for efficiency and productivity, and increased healthcare integration.

The clinical workflow solutions market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.54 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing interoperability and data exchange, telehealth and remote care, value-based care models, growing demand for population health management, and increasing adoption of precision medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence (ai) in healthcare, technological advancements, innovative solutions, strategic collaborations, and healthcare integration solutions.

The increasing prevalence of diseases is anticipated to drive growth in the clinical workflow solutions market in the future. A disease is characterized as a condition that disrupts the normal functioning of the human body, exhibiting distinct signs and symptoms. Clinical workflows enhance the healthcare system's functionality for patients suffering from various diseases, providing improved healthcare experiences. For example, in July 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported that the number of people economically inactive due to long-term illness has exceeded 2.5 million, marking an increase of over 400,000 since the COVID-19 pandemic began. In the first quarter of 2023, more than 1.35 million individuals (53%) inactive due to long-term illness reported experiencing depression, anxiety, or nervous disorders, with the majority (over 1 million) identifying these issues as secondary health conditions rather than primary ones. Thus, the rising prevalence of diseases is fueling the clinical workflow solutions industry.

The growth of the clinical workflow solutions market is expected to be propelled by an increasing number of clinical trials. These scientific studies evaluate the safety, efficacy, and potential benefits of new medical treatments, interventions, drugs, devices, or procedures in humans. The expanding number of clinical trials necessitates the adoption of clinical workflow solutions to tackle challenges related to data management, patient recruitment, regulatory compliance, and overall trial efficiency. For example, as of July 2023, ClinicalTrials.gov reported an increase from 399,499 registered studies in 2022 to 437,533 in 2023 across 221 countries. The surge in clinical trials, both in the U.S. and internationally, emphasizes the growing significance of clinical workflow solutions in managing and optimizing these studies.

A key trend gaining traction in the clinical workflow solutions market is rapid technological advancements. Major companies in the market are leveraging technological innovations, such as the integration of conversational AI in clinical workflow automation and machine learning. As an illustration, in May 2022, Mindray, a Chinese medical instrument manufacturer, introduced the M-connect IT solution in a hospital in Haryana, India. This technology aims to optimize clinical workflows, ensure patient safety, and features the M-Connect IT platform, facilitating digital connectivity between ICU patients and their doctors. This exemplifies the ongoing efforts to incorporate advanced technologies in clinical workflow solutions, contributing to the market's growth and evolution.

Major companies in the clinical workflow solutions market are strategically emphasizing the introduction of cloud-based platforms for clinical workflow automation to enhance their competitive position. Cloud-based platforms are software solutions designed to automate repetitive tasks within clinical workflows, transforming manual processes into web-based digital workflows that eliminate paper forms and manual data entry. As an illustration, in January 2023, CenTrak Inc., a U.S.-based healthcare devices provider, launched WorkflowRT. This scalable and cloud-based platform is designed to automate workflow and communications, optimizing clinical workflows across various care settings. Leveraging industry-leading Real-Time Location System (RTLS) and location sensors from CenTrak, WorkflowRT ensures healthcare professionals have real-time information without the need to ask patients about their location in the treatment process or engage in time-consuming manual processes. The platform comes with pre-configured workflow templates that can be customized to meet the unique requirements of each facility. WorkflowRT operates seamlessly in the background, significantly streamlining processes that do not contribute value.

In February 2022, Bain Capital and Hellman & Friedman, both U.S.-based investment firms, jointly acquired Athenahealth for $17 billion. Athenahealth, a U.S.-based company, specializes in providing clinical workflow solutions. This acquisition is aimed at driving the next phase of growth for Athenahealth under the strategic direction of the acquiring firms, highlighting the significance of clinical workflow solutions in the evolving healthcare landscape.
