The healthcare cloud infrastructure market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $169.06 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various key factors, including the expansion of telemedicine services, advancements in genomic and precision medicine, a heightened focus on compliance and data security, increased preparedness for pandemics, and the integration of blockchain technologies. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the adoption of hybrid cloud solutions, the implementation of edge computing in healthcare, the utilization of security and compliance as a service, the incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the establishment of data lakes and analytics, and the development of cloud-native applications.

The healthcare cloud infrastructure market is expected to experience growth, driven by increased funding for the implementation of hospital cloud computing technologies in care facilities. Hospital cloud computing technologies involve the setup of remote servers accessible online for managing, storing, and processing patient data. The transition to digital technologies, including cloud computing, in hospitals is driven by the need to reduce costs and enhance operational efficiency. For instance, the government of Delhi, India, allocated $18.9 million (Rs 13.9 billion) for a project to establish a cloud-based hospital information management system for public hospitals in the region. This growing financial support for implementing hospital cloud computing technologies is a key factor fueling demand in the healthcare cloud infrastructure market.

The increasing adoption of digital tools in the healthcare sector is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the healthcare cloud infrastructure market. Digital tools, such as electronic health records (EHRs), electronic medical records (EMRs), mobile health (mHealth) apps, wearable devices, telehealth, telemedicine, and personalized medicine, are designed to improve healthcare services. Healthcare cloud infrastructure plays a vital role in supporting various digital applications, enhancing connectivity, and ensuring the effectiveness and safety of healthcare services. The adoption of digital health tools has witnessed significant growth, with physicians' average utilization increasing from 2.2 in 2016 to 3.8 in 2022, according to the American Medical Association. Similarly, a high percentage of office-based physicians (78%) and non-federal acute care hospitals (96%) in the United States use certified EHRs, as reported by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). This increasing adoption of digital tools is driving the demand for healthcare cloud infrastructure.

Technological advancement is a prominent trend gaining traction in the healthcare cloud infrastructure market. Major players in the market are focusing on integrating innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and text analytics, to enhance workflow efficiency and reduce costs. For instance, Microsoft Corporation updated its Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare in March 2022, incorporating AI and text analytics to provide comprehensive data insights, minimize administrative burdens for providers, increase efficiency for frontline care teams, and promote workflow automation. These technological advancements aim to improve the quality of care, reduce clinician fatigue, extract insights from unstructured medical data, and deliver more efficient care at a lower cost.

Leading companies in the healthcare cloud infrastructure market are actively focusing on product innovations, particularly in the development of cloud-based platforms to meet the evolving needs of their existing consumers. A cloud-based platform serves as the operating system and hardware of a server in a data center connected to the Internet, enabling the remote and scalable coexistence of software and hardware devices. Rather than establishing and maintaining their own data centers or computer infrastructure, enterprises rent access to a range of computing services, including databases, servers, storage, statistical analysis, networking, software, and intelligence. For example, In March 2023, Fujitsu Limited, a prominent Japan-based corporation specializing in information and communications technology equipment and services, introduced an innovative and unique cloud-based platform. This platform is designed to facilitate the secure collection and exploitation of health-related data, contributing to digital transformation in the medical industry. Fujitsu's cloud-based platform stands out with features such as automatic translation of healthcare data into HL7 FHIR, the next-generation medical information norm, aggregation of a diverse range of health-related information, and robust security mechanisms to ensure safe and secure data consumption. This initiative aligns with Fujitsu Uvance's goal of promoting 'healthy living' and contributing to the creation of a sustainable world by fostering a healthy society.

In April 2021, Microsoft Corp., a major US-based software company, made a strategic move by acquiring Nuance Communications Inc. for $19.7 billion. Through this acquisition, Microsoft aims to enhance its capabilities in cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) to address the comprehensive needs of the rapidly transforming and growing healthcare industry. Nuance Communications, Inc., the acquired company, specializes in providing conversational AI and cloud-based ambient clinical intelligence to healthcare providers. This acquisition reflects Microsoft's commitment to leveraging innovative technologies to drive advancements in healthcare and underscores the importance of cloud-based solutions in the industry's evolution.
