Segmentation Analysis

On the basis of product used in electronic health records market, the market can be segmented into client-server-based, and web-based. In 2020, the web-based EHR segment dominated the market, accounting for more than 54% of global sales. The popularity of web-based EHRs among physicians and healthcare professionals is responsible for this huge market share. Over the projected period, the client server-based product category is expected to increase significantly. Client-server EHRs are a safer option for users since they allow in-house data storage, which prevents data theft. These can also be tailored to meet the needs of the customer and are a good alternative for multi-physician facilities. Based on type, the electronic health records market can be segmented into post-acute, ambulatory, and acute. In 2020, the acute type segment had the biggest market share of over 47%. The government's measures for the use of EHRs in small-scale facilities are to blame for the increase. Government support for the implementation of ambulatory EHRs is likely to increase market growth, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. The segment's growth is expected to be aided by rising spending on post-acute care facilities.

Based on end-users, the market can be segmented into ambulatory care and hospitals. In 2020, the hospital sector had the biggest market share of more than 61 percent, and this dominance is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. The vast amount of medical data created in hospitals is to blame for the increase. However, from 2021 to 2026, the ambulatory end-use category is expected to grow at the quickest rate. Patients and healthcare providers benefit from the convenience of ambulatory care centers. In terms of business models, the industry is bifurcated into licensed software, technology resale, subscriptions, professional services, and others. In 2020, the professional services category led the market with a share of approximately 30.0 percent. The segment will be driven by the growing need for professional services such as clinical process optimization, project management, regulatory consultation, technical & application knowledge, and training of a workforce to aid in the design and implementation of systems.
