Market Growth Factors

The increasing penetration of AI and big data in healthcare is one of the factors driving the growth of the healthcare cognitive computing market. Every year, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare organizations produce more than 2300 exabytes of data, which is being utilized by cognitive computing systems. Artificial intelligence technologies such as IBM Watson Health can analyze clinical trials, genomics and other patient data to give personalized recommendations for care, helping prevent medical errors and creating efficiencies in health care systems.

Precision medicine and advanced diagnostic tests are considered the major growth engines for this market. DeepMind and NVIDIA's Clara Discovery develop platforms using cognitive algorithms that analyze a large body of data, including genomic data, in oncology and other segments. Genome sequencing, which cost USD 1 Million in 2007 but fell below USD 500 in 2023, has made data and worldwide adoption of precision medicine a reality. The rising cancer rate of over 20 million cases a year and preventive health campaigns are driving demand for early-stage precision diagnostics.

The market addresses the growing global healthcare workforce shortage reported by the WHO. By 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates a shortage of 10 million healthcare workers, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Cognitive computing can help perform repetitive tasks such as patient triaging, claims processing, and EHR management faster and with greater accuracy; and it enables telehealth. With the world's over 60 population predicted to increase to 1.4 billion in 2030, demand for automated cognitive healthcare is likely to rise.
