Healthcare SaaS market seen topping $71 billion by 2030

The Business Research Company projects the healthcare software-as-a-service market will exceed $71 billion by 2030, driven by cloud adoption, telemedicine demand and AI-enabled workflow tools. North America is expected to stay the largest regional market, while electronic health record systems remain the biggest product segment.

Why it matters: - Healthcare providers are shifting more core operations to cloud software to cut costs, improve interoperability and support remote care. - The market’s growth points to continued spending on digital health infrastructure, especially tools that manage clinical workflows, patient data and virtual visits. - EHR systems are expected to remain the biggest product category, showing that patient data management is still the center of healthcare software demand.
