US Telemedicine Market Executive Summary

US telemedicine market size is at around $25.54 Bn in 2022 and is projected to reach $84.88 Bn in 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period. Telemedicine is a method of obtaining healthcare visits with doctors, psychiatrists, or nurses over the Internet using your phone or computer. These meetings are typically video calls via an app or platform, while some providers also offer online chat messaging, email help, and phone calls. The goal of telemedicine is not to replace doctor appointments at clinics. Instead, they should be used to supplement traditional healthcare. Telemedicine can be used to communicate with a doctor to see if you need a physical appointment, seek or renew drug prescriptions, examine and treat minor health concerns, and access counseling and other mental health treatments.

The telemedicine market in the US is quickly expanding, driven by technological improvements, changes in healthcare delivery methods, and increased demand for access to healthcare services. Telemedicine is becoming more widely employed in a variety of medical specialties, including primary care, mental health, and specialty care. It is especially beneficial for people who live in remote or underdeveloped locations, or who have difficulties obtaining standard healthcare services owing to mobility or other restrictions. Furthermore, it has witnessed an increase in its use during the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely affected healthcare facilities, and it allowed it to lower the risk of infection.

As primary care remains a hot spot for private equity, pharmacy chains, and health insurers, companies like Everside Health have received $164 Mn in growth equity funding to accelerate its growth and support potential M&A opportunities, and CVS Health has made a $100 Mn investment in Carbon Health, both of which will focus on primary care, including mental and occupational health, virtually and on-site or near-site to employers. New features and services to provide predictive patient care that treats the full person rather than just their symptoms. In the US, a lack of access to high-quality primary care has aggravated chronic illnesses, exacerbated mental health issues, and increased healthcare expenses. to integrate more mental health specialists into its health centers and to expand its technology capabilities in order to achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
