Mobile healthcare market seen topping $221 billion by 2030

The Business Research Company says mobile healthcare is moving toward a diagnostics-first model, with the market expected to top $221 billion by 2030. AI-enabled mobile CT scanners and remote monitoring tools are helping expand care beyond clinics as the U.S. and North America remain the biggest growth engines.

Why it matters: - Mobile healthcare is shifting from simple tracking tools to diagnostics and treatment delivered outside traditional facilities. - The market’s growth reflects rising demand for remote care, chronic disease monitoring and faster clinical decisions. - AI-enabled imaging could widen access to advanced diagnostics in emergency, critical care and specialty settings.

What happened: - The Business Research Company projected the global mobile healthcare market will surpass $221 billion by 2030. - The market is expected to grow at a 17% compound annual rate through 2030. - North America is forecast to lead regional revenue at $82 billion in 2030, up from $37 billion in 2025. - The United States is projected to be the largest national market at $73 billion in 2030, up from $33 billion in 2025. - Samsung India and NeuroLogica introduced AI-enabled mobile CT scanners in India in August 2025.

The details: - Mobile healthcare is projected to account for about 15% of the broader healthcare technology market by 2030. - The category is expected to represent close to 2% of the information technology sector by 2030. - Blood glucose monitors are forecast to be the largest device segment in 2030, with 23% share and $51 billion in value. - Blood glucose monitors are benefiting from rising diabetes prevalence, connected monitoring systems, preventive care demand and continuous glucose monitoring. - The market is segmented into treatment services, diagnostic services, monitoring services, wellness and fitness solutions and other services. - Key stakeholders include mobile network operators, healthcare providers, application and content developers and other participants. - Reimbursement-code expansion for remote patient monitoring is expected to add about 2.3% annual growth. - Demand for home-based remote patient monitoring is expected to add about 2.1% annual growth. - Integration with national electronic health record systems is expected to add about 1.9% annual growth. - AI-powered mobile diagnostic tools are improving point-of-care imaging and clinical efficiency. - The company said mobile CT scanners can reduce patient transfers and speed diagnosis in critical care, emergency and specialized environments. - Apple Inc. held a 4% global market share in 2024, according to The Business Research Company. - Other named competitors include Koninklijke Philips N.V., Hims & Hers Health Inc., Teladoc Health Inc., Omron Corporation, Dexcom Inc., Masimo Corporation, Amwell Inc. and others. - The top 10 companies accounted for just 6% of total revenue in 2024, showing a fragmented market.

Between the lines: - The strongest growth is coming from tools that combine monitoring, imaging and software rather than from stand-alone consumer health apps. - Fragmentation suggests no single company has locked up the category, which leaves room for partnerships, product launches and geographic expansion. - The focus on interoperability with EHR systems points to a market moving deeper into clinical workflows, not just consumer wellness. - AI-enabled mobile CT scanners are a sign that the next phase of mobile healthcare may be defined by higher-acuity use cases, not only convenience.

What's next: - More reimbursement support for remote monitoring could continue to pull providers toward connected care. - Wider adoption of home-based monitoring and EHR-linked platforms is likely to expand demand for interoperable devices and software. - Competition is expected to intensify around mobile diagnostics, remote patient monitoring and AI automation. - The Business Research Company said its 2026 reports include market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, forecasting dashboards and updated trend analysis.

The bottom line: - Mobile healthcare is evolving into a diagnostics-driven market, with AI, remote monitoring and clinical integration set to shape the next wave of growth.
