Pediatric telehealth market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 26.6% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Pediatric telehealth leverages telecommunication and digital health technologies to deliver healthcare services tailored to children. It encompasses virtual consultations, remote monitoring, tele-diagnosis, and specialized telehealth services. Ongoing technological advancements, regulatory support, and evolving consumer preferences for convenient, integrated, and equitable healthcare for their babies are major factors driving the global market growth.
Market Dynamics
Increasing Demand for Accessible and Affordable Pediatric Telehealth Services for Substance Use Disorders
Online teleservices for children's drug abuse are gaining popularity, with organizations such as, the American Academy of Pediatrics and SAMHSA providing platforms for children. The prevalence of children's substance use disorders is rising, which emphasizes the need for easily accessible, reasonably priced treatment alternatives, especially for opioid use disorder, which is a serious public health concern. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in January 2024, the availability and affordability of residential addiction treatment centers for children in the US are concerning, as highlighted by a recent study supported by the National Institutes of Health. The study revealed that only 54% of the contacted facilities had immediate bed availability, with an average wait time of 28 days for those on a waitlist.
Furthermore, the average cost per day of treatment was $878.0, and almost half of the facilities required upfront payment. In 2022, an estimated 2.2 million children between 12 and 17 years old had a substance use disorder, including 265,000 with an opioid use disorder, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Survey on Drug Use and Health. This alarming situation is further exacerbated by a significant increase in overdose mortalities among teenagers, attributed to the presence of illicit fentanyl in counterfeit pills mimicking prescription medications.
Market Segmentation
Pediatric Telehealth Service is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment
The primary factor supporting the segment's growth includes increased awareness and acceptance of telehealth services among healthcare providers and patients. Therefore, key players are offering different services to meet the customer demand. For instance, in November 2023, Summer Health, a pediatric telehealth startup expanded its text-based service to provide primary care for kids. For $20.0 a month or $192.0 for an annual subscription, families can access medical practitioners, sleep coaches, lactation consultants, and nutritionists, similar to a primary pediatric practice.
Cloud-Based Deployment Mode to Hold a Considerable Market Share
The cloud-based telehealth solutions simplify the delivery of remote healthcare services by improving scalability and efficiency, enabling smooth exchanges across patients and providers, and enabling convenient distant interactions. In January 2024, Aramark launched a new telehealth program that connects its clinical dietitians with hospital patients remotely using cloud-based technologies. The program, which requires a clinical nutrition service agreement, is facilitated through a hospital's existing telehealth platform.
Regional Outlook
The pediatric telehealth market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
The government Implemented Several Digital Health Initiatives in the Asia-Pacific Region
The goal of government-led digital health programmes is to increase access to healthcare by promoting the use of telemedicine and other digital health technology. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in March 2024, The Indian healthcare industry, valued at $372.0 billion in 2022, is one of India's largest employers, employing 7.5 million people. Advances in telemedicine, virtual assistants, and data analytics are expected to create 2.7-3.5 million new tech jobs. Public expenditure on healthcare increased to 2.2% of GDP in FY23. The Indian medical tourism market, valued at $7.7 billion in 2024, is expected to reach $14.3 billion by 2029.
Pediatric Telehealth Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
North America Holds Major Market Share
The acceptance and awareness of telehealth services for pediatric care are increasing among healthcare providers and patients. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), 2023, Canada's total health expenditure is predicted to reach $344.0 billion in 2023, a $9 billion increase from 2022. The growth is expected to be 2.8%, following a 1.5% increase in 2022. The increase is largely owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a surge in health spending growth. However, health spending growth has not kept pace with inflation and population growth, potentially owing to price inflation.
