Asia-Pacific will be the fastest-growing region in healthcare spending, accounting for more than 20% of global spending by 2030. Access to care, cost, and quality remain critical challenges for healthcare systems.
Consumers take greater ownership of their health and are ready to spend more. Roughly 50% of all consumers (58% of Gen Z) plan to spend more on healthcare in exchange for better health outcomes, better experiences, and greater efficiency.
Telehealth usage persists post-Covid-19, making online-offline a “new normal.” Telehealth usage grew roughly twofold across Asia-Pacific markets during the pandemic and stabilized in 2023.
Consumers desire a single touchpoint to manage their health and are increasingly placing high trust in primary care providers and other alternative sites of care like pharmacies and digital health.
