Market opportunities

The Healthcare Industry Is Expected To Reach Over $610 Billion By 2026.

India’s medical devices market is racing toward $30B by 2030.

India’s government health expenditure has risen to 1.84% of GDP in FY 2025, with a clear trajectory to reach 2.5% by FY 2027. This reflects stronger allocations toward infrastructure, digital health, and universal coverage.

At the same time, Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM JAY), launched in 2018, has become the world’s largest public health insurance scheme. It offers ₹5 lakh (~USD 6,000) per family annually for secondary and tertiary care. As of late 2025, more than 42 crore Ayushman cards have been issued, delivering 10.4 crore hospital treatments worth ₹1.3 lakh crore, with expanded coverage for senior citizens and frontline workers.

India’s medical tourism market is projected to reach USD 32.08 billion (INR 2,670.37 billion) by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 34.92% during 2023–2027. This growth is driven by cost effective care, advanced medical procedures, and strong government support, positioning India as a leading global destination for medical travel.

As of 2026, India’s healthcare sector employs around 9.5–10 million people, making it one of the country’s largest employers. In addition, progress in telemedicine, AI driven diagnostics, virtual assistants, and health data analytics is expected to generate 3–3.5 million new technology driven jobs by 2030.

India’s medical infrastructure investment has surpassed USD 250 billion by 2026, supported by government schemes and private sector expansion. With medical tourism and digital health adoption accelerating, India is on track to become one of the world’s largest healthcare markets, though challenges remain in fund utilisation and workforce availability.
