MUMBAI: The healthcare sector in India will grow to $158.2
billion in 2017 from $78.6 billion in 2012, a report has said.
"The healthcare sector is growing at a 15% CAGR and
jumped from $45 billion in 2008 to $78.6 billion in 2012 and
expected to touch $158.2 billion by 2017," Equentis Capital
said in its report.
India being a country with growing population, country's per capita healthcare expenditure has increased at a
CAGR of 10.3% from $43.1 in 2008 to $57.9 in 2011 and going forward this figure is expected to rise to $88.7
by 2015.
The factors behind the growth is rising incomes, easier access to high-quality healthcare facilities and greater
awareness of personal health and hygiene, the report said.
The country's healthcare system is developing rapidly and it continues to expand its coverage, services and
spending in both the public as well as private sectors, it said.
The private sector has emerged as a vibrant force in India's healthcare industry, lending it both national and
international repute. Private sector's share in healthcare delivery is expected to increase from 66% in 2005 to
81% by 2015. Private sector's share in hospitals and hospital beds is estimated at 74% and 40%,
respectively.
There is substantial demand for high-quality and speciality healthcare services in tier-II and tier-III cities. To
encourage the private sector to establish hospitals in these cities, government has relaxed the taxes on
these hospitals for the first 5 years.
Many healthcare players such as Fortis and Manipal Group are entering management contracts to provide an
additional revenue stream to hospitals.
Over the years, health insurance is gaining momentum in India; gross healthcare insurance premium is
expanding at a CAGR of 39% over FY06-10. This trend is likely to continue, benefitting the country's
healthcare industry
Strong mobile technology infrastructure and launch of 4G is expected to drive mobile health initiatives in the
country. Mobile health industry in India is expected to reach $0.6 billion by 2017, the report said.

providers are focussing on the technological aspect of healthcare delivery.

Telemedicine is also a fastemerging sector in India. In 2012, the telemedicine market in India was valued at
$7.5 million, and is expected to rise at a CAGR of 20% to $18.7 million by 2017. With increased private
participation, the healthcare sector has also witnessed rise in FDI inflows. As per law, 100% FDI is permitted
for all health-related services under the automatic route.
Demand growth, cost advantages and policy support were instrumental in attracting FDI inflows into the
healthcare sector. During April 2000-March 2013, FDI inflows for drugs and pharmaceuticals stood at $10.3
billion, while inflows into hospitals and diagnostic centres, and medical appliances stood at $1.6 billion and
$0.6 billion, respectively.
India's primary competitive advantage over its peers lies in its large pool of well-trained medical professionals in
the country. Also India's cost advantage compared to peers in Asia and Western countries is significant
cost of surgery in India is one-tenth of that in the US or Western Europe.
India's competitive advantage also lies in increased success rate of Indian companies in getting Abbreviated
New Drug Application ( ANDA) approvals. India also offers vast opportunities in R&D as well as medical
tourism, the report said.

India should be well ahead of the world in Health industry. Medical technology medical equipments manufacture
-innovation and research. Tele medication. Generic drugs Pharmaceuticals -alternative medicines. -A to Z
spectrum of the health industry should get a huge boost. Right for health and medicine should be made
mandatory and simple and efficient. Al the hospitals have to meet with top standards -hygiene -cleanliness-
sanitation- India should ave emergency service s- paramedical - ambulance squads- helicopter services to
reach the spot in minutes etc. Every medical or health staff should be in their respective uniforms -clean and
smart. Medical staff should be friendly and helpful with great ATTITUDE. serve the people -serve the nation.

Excellent - Hope same feat is emulated in AGARTALA too !! Not a single HOSPITAL of national importance (in
terms of quality and trusted brand) exists in TRIPURA which is a must for those helpless people of state who
has to run around and rush to Chennai and other cities for treatment even during those critical hours of life! -
Need of the hour is to go PROACTIVE and INVITE best of the brands available (e.g FORTIS, APPOLO, MANIPAL
Hospitals) to set up their HOSPITAL CHAINS at AGARTALA. Really hope leadership in Center & TRIPURA Govt
takes a FUTURISTIC and PROGRESSIVE approach and goes BIG to put TRIPURA into national & international
scheme of things and strives hard in making AGARTALA into an world class city signifying uprising India's
growing prowess! We really need to move forward by developing TRIPURA with world class infrastructures and
bring it at par with best of the other Indian states in the shortest possible time! Anything less than 'WORLD
CLASS' would only defeat the very purpose behind infrastructure development of TRIPURA under LOOK-EAST
Policy! IMPOSSIBLE - just means I AM POSSIBLE! If India need to catch up with developed part of the world,the
most strategically placed Northeast (especially TRIPURA) need to be made into a developed region in the
shortest possible time! I strongly believe TRIPURA govt (in close co-ordination with Center, other concerned
dignitaries & all corporate vissionaries) can certainly achieve this sooner rather than late!
