Global Electronic Health Records Market: Regional Insights

Based on geography, the global electronic health records market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.

Among regions, North America is expected to gain highest share in the market during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption healthcare IT solutions, growing usage of electronic health records (EHRs) in healthcare settings, and well-established healthcare infrastructure in the United States. For instance, according to the US Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, as of 2021, nearly 4 in 5 office-based physicians (78%) and all non-federal acute care hospitals (96%) adopted a certified EHR. This marks substantial 10-year progress since 2011 when 28% of hospitals and 34% of physicians had adopted an EHR.

Europe is also expected to witness significant growth in the global electronic health records market due to the increasing adoption healthcare IT solutions, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing geriatric population, and growing awareness about the benefits of EHR in these regions. For instance, the European Commission (EC) has adopted a Recommendation on a European EHR exchange format to unlock the flow of health data across borders. Moreover, the EC is looking to digitise all medical records in the European Union (EU) by 2025 to make it easier for individuals to access and share their personal data with medical professionals.
