Government regulations on patient-centric care have been one of the major growth-driving factors for the patient engagement solutions market. For instance, the U.S government, under its EHR Incentive Programs of 2009, offers healthcare professionals incentives to implement electronic healthcare records (EHRs). Apart from storing patient data digitally, patient engagement solutions are also required for implementing value-based programs. The demand for such programs is rising, as these benefit patients as well as healthcare providers. 

Another significant factor contributing to the market growth is the growing geriatric population, which is more prone to chronic diseases. As these diseases need constant monitoring, especially in the case of elderly patients who cannot make regular hospital visits, patient engagement solutions have become indispensable for their effective health management. Further, as people have become more tech-savvy, wearable healthcare devices are registering increased sales. These devices are replacing hospital visits, taking the patient engagement solutions market forward.

Within APAC, patient engagement solutions are expected to be utilized the most for chronic diseases, compared to other therapeutic areas that include women’s health, mental health, and fitness. Further categorizing chronic diseases, cardiac issues and cancer will contribute the largest revenue to the patient engagement solutions market during the forecast period. Among on-premises, cloud-based, and web-based solutions, those that connect patients and doctors via cloud will register the fastest growth in the market.

Thus, it can be said that while advancements in patient engagement solutions technology and increased government support toward their adoption are important factors driving the market growth, the rise in geriatric population and incidents of chronic diseases cannot be ignored.
