Shortfall in Medical Facility: The Philippines experienced a major shortage of medical workers. Each Filipino has to wait for several hours to connect to a medical professional. It was also seen that the minimum time to reach a nearby healthcare facility was around 39 minutes. Another major problem associated with healthcare accessibility is the Philippines archipelago geography. All the medical facilities are concentrated in or around the capital city. Most of these issues can be addressed by the adaptation of technological tools in the healthcare sector. With an increase in the healthcare expenditure of the hospitals and clinics, the emergence of innovative healthcare IT solutions will be one of the major health tech markets in the coming years. This will also ensure a high increase in revenues in the industry.
Impact of Covid-19: Lockdown imposed during Covid pandemic has been a major growth driver of the health tech market. Covid-19 brought a moment of realization for the government, as it has highlighted all the existing gaps in the healthcare industry’s infrastructure. There has been a significant increase in the end-users for nearly all the sectors of the health tech industry that eventually resulted in the increase in the number of players in the market.
Rising Competition: All the sectors saw a rise in the number of players in the year 2020. The online consultation market saw the maximum number of entrants that includes both domestic and international players. Existing players diversified their portfolios and new players entered with different operating models. The market is expected to see tough competition in the coming years and players will be competing on the basis of the price, value-added services, and new technological advancements.
Collaborative Approach: As the healthcare market is flourishing in the Philippines, the health tech service providers are focusing more on collaborative approaches to expand their reach. Most players are focusing on introducing end-to-end solutions for the target end-users. Digital health solutions, such as e-pharmacies and online consultations are connecting to a common platform by keeping certain profit margins. Integration of various health tech sectors, all in one place has become a new trend in this market.
