The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the increasing empowerment of patients, the regulatory environment, health awareness campaigns, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, as well as the emphasis on patient-centric care.
The health care social media market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the integration of telehealth, the impact of global health crises, the emergence of virtual communities and support groups, the evolving regulatory landscape, and an increased emphasis on mental health. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration of AI and data analytics, technological advancements, the growing digitalization in healthcare, the use of gamification for health promotion, and the incorporation of AI and chatbots for healthcare support.
The healthcare social media market is anticipated to grow with the increased use of the internet and social media. The growing demand for social media is driven by factors such as increased internet penetration, rising social media subscriptions, and improved communication needs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of smartphones, social media, and the internet witnessed a significant surge due to extended quarantine periods and work-from-home scenarios. The growth in social media and internet usage has contributed to increased healthcare social media use, providing tools for medical practitioners to share information, discuss healthcare policies, and raise health awareness. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the number of internet users increased from 4.1 billion in 2019 to 4.9 billion in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the rising internet and social media usage are expected to drive the healthcare social media market.
The healthcare social media market is expected to be driven by the rise of health influencers. Health influencers, often found on social media platforms, share information and advice on health and wellness based on personal experiences or expertise. Social media platforms serve as channels for individuals to share feedback about healthcare providers, facilities, and services. A survey by CharityRx in September 2022 revealed that one-third of Gen Zers turned to TikTok for advice on anxiety, and 44% consulted YouTube before their doctors. The rise of health influencers is evident, with 1 in 5 Americans trusting them more than medical professionals, indicating a growing trend in seeking relatable, online sources for personal health management.
Technological advancement stands out as a prominent and growing trend. Information technology in health care social media presents numerous opportunities to enhance and transform healthcare practices. These advancements aim to improve clinical outcomes, streamline care coordination, enhance practice efficiencies, and facilitate the collection of data over time. Major companies in the healthcare social media market are actively pursuing technological advancements in their platforms to aid healthcare professionals in learning and educating patients and their families. For instance, in July 2021, LiveWorld, a US-based digital agency specializing in social media and technology solutions, initiated a dedicated Healthcare Professional (HCP) social media practice to address the evolving needs of pharmaceutical brands. This initiative focuses on enhancing non-personal promotion (NPP), sustaining medications and innovations, and fostering meaningful interactions with healthcare providers.
Major companies are focusing on product innovation, particularly the development of a social media app designed to combat the spread of health misinformation. This digital platform enables users to create, share, and interact with content, emphasizing stringent verification of health experts' credentials and a medical advisory board of Ivy League physicians. For instance, in January 2023, Tell Health Inc., a US-based company, launched the Tell social media app with innovative features to address the challenges of health misinformation in the healthcare social media market. By providing a reliable source for physician-verified health information, this app effectively combats the spread of health misinformation and contributes to maintaining the integrity of health information on social media.
In July 2022, Amazon.com, a US-based e-commerce giant, completed the acquisition of One Medical for an estimated $3.9 billion. This strategic move aims to enhance the delivery of healthcare services, emphasizing a technology-driven, human-centered approach.
