Africa Telehealth Market has been growing rapidly in recent years by the increasing demand for healthcare services, technological advancements, and a growing need for remote healthcare delivery due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The expansion of telehealth services which includes virtual consultations, remote monitoring, and online prescriptions is another major development of this market. On the other hand, several partnerships and collaborations have been established between telehealth companies and healthcare providers to improve the delivery of telemedicine services in Africa. The increasing adoption of telehealth platforms such as Baobab Circle, Teladoc Health, and Kangpe, which are offering telemedicine services to patients across the continent are accessible via mobile devices and are beneficial for patients in rural areas.
Some countries in Africa are developing regulatory frameworks to guide the provision of telehealth services. Moreover, with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, there is a growing need for remote healthcare services which in turn propels the Africa Telehealth Industry. The telehealth market in Africa is attracting significant private-sector investments, which is driving innovation and growth. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine in many African countries, and this trend is expected to continue even after the pandemic subsides. Overall, the telehealth industry is growing significantly in the forthcoming years as more healthcare providers will embrace the benefits of telemedicine.
The Africa telehealth market is expected to grow during the forecast period. The telehealth market has been witnessing growth owing to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and an overall shift towards healthier lifestyles. Additionally, Africa stands out as one of the leading regions for telehealth adoption owing to its high population density and lack of infrastructure. The telehealth market in Africa is primarily driven by the growing number of patients seeking access to advanced healthcare services outside their home country. The Africa Telehealth market is a part of the global telehealth market.
According to 6Wresearch, the Africa Telehealth market size is likely to witness growth during 2022-28. The increasing awareness about the benefits of telemedicine across the continent is fueling the growth of this market. Several factors such as rising life expectancy, rising number of elderly citizens, and increase in chronic diseases are contributing to the growth of this market. Additionally, one of the biggest challenges facing the growth of the telehealth market in Africa is the lack of infrastructure. This includes not only high-speed internet but also qualified professionals who can deliver quality care using telemedicine technologies. Governments must also play a role in developing policies that encourage the uptake of this technology and ensure that patients have access to quality services.
Telehealth is the delivery of health care through telecommunications technology. It allows patients to receive care from professionals who are remote from their homes. This technology has been used in developed countries for a long time, and it is now being explored in Africa as well. There are many reasons why this growth is expected such as increasing awareness about the benefits of telehealth, increasing demand for quality healthcare, and increasing adoption of innovative technologies. Additionally, there are different ways that people can get involved in the telehealth market. One way is to provide services through telemedicine, which is when doctors treat patients by video communication rather than face-to-face. Another way is to provide specialist consultations through videoconferencing or remote patient monitoring (RPM). Hospitals and clinics can also use telehealth to improve the quality of care provided to patients by providing supportive services such as medication reminders or appointment scheduling.
The key players in the Africa Telehealth market are IBM, Microsoft Corporation, Intel Corporation, Google Inc., Accenture plc., and Aetna Incorporated. These companies hold significant market share and are engaged in providing telehealth solutions across various geographies. Some of the key products offered by these companies include cloud-based solutions, artificial intelligence (AI), smart software platforms, and patient engagement tools. The growth will be driven by the increasing adoption of telehealth services for various medical conditions in developing countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa. However, challenges such as lack of awareness and reluctance to adopt new technologies are restraining the market growth.
The occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a stoppage in past. However, the market has recuperated gradually. Currently, the market has tremendous growth opportunities. This growth can be attributed to increasing awareness about the benefits and potential of telehealth, rising adoption of digital devices among patients and caregivers, growing interest in preventive healthcare services, and increasing investment in innovative technologies. The key drivers for this growth include increased access to quality healthcare facilities, increased patient mobility due to advances in transportation infrastructure, and increased prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and obesity.

The Africa Telehealth Market is expected to witness double-digit growth projections in the coming timeframe. The market value is expected to outperform in the upcoming six years on the back of a rise in the advent of digitization. With a market value worth a double-digit billion number, the market is anticipated to reach a triple-digit revenue value and is expected to register significant growth in the next decade. This significant rise in the market value can be attributed to the rising adoption of digitalized and the virtual platform underpinned by the superior growth patterns in the healthcare sector. The geriatric population consumes around 40% to 50% of the total healthcare facilities costs and tend to contribute four times towards the spending on medical facilities as compared to younger adults. The low reimbursements by the government as a result of cost-shifting to the private payers has led to an increased burden on the hospitals to look for better and premium medical facilities especially for the elderly and has led to a hike in the costs in the healthcare sector and increased demand for technical aid in the sector as a result of changing lifestyles of the urban and suburban population across the globe. Reduced time travel, reduced costs, and a shared healthcare professional staffing offered by the telemedicine platform have made it an ideal launch of the present times.
According to 6Wresearch, the Africa Telehealth Market is expected to register cumulative growth throughout the forecast period 2020-2026. The outbreak of the COVID-19 disease has led to a massive growth of the Telehealth market globally. The unprecedented disruption of the pandemic has led to a rising need for agility, transformation, and adaptability of telehealth solutions. Backed by the massive spread of the disease, as the corporate firms and even schools came down to the work-from-home-solution, the healthcare sector has also adopted remote consultation as an increasingly innovative method to win the bid to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus. The spread of the virus has brought the telehealth market a new light. The market which was at a nascent stage with limited access even in the developed countries such as Nigeria pre COVID period as a result of poor infrastructure has witnessed a spur by the effect of the virus. The outbreak has no doubt been proved evident to be a potential growth driver for the telehealth market globally backed by the reliability it is offering along with increased knowledge of the technology in the world which as a result is going to increase in the coming years, once the technology completes almost 90 percent operation remotely and is expected to shape its competitive market landscape in the near future.
Nigeria Telehealth Market is expected to register the maximum growth in the upcoming six years as a result of the rising initiatives by the country’s government towards the implementation of state of art healthcare aid and is expected to be of great significance for the fortunate business of the Nigeria telehealth market in the coming years and is anticipated to be a growth proliferating factor for the Nigeria telehealth market in the coming years. With the increase in the technical aid over the digital platform the healthcare sector is no doubt, lacking behind and is taking keen interest and initiative for services which is the long run is anticipated to be proven evident for the growth and the development of the healthcare sector and the services provided by the same. The other growth contributing factor for the Africa telehealth market can be attributed to the cost-effectiveness and the remote consultation convenience provided by the virtual healthcare platform, especially for the geriatric population.
