Adoption of EHR in the EMEA region was inhibited due to slow economic
recovery. However, the market for EHR is expected to expand from ~$6.5
billion in 2014 to over $7 billion in 2015. Government funding is expected
to drive the growth of the EHR market in Europe. In the UK, Europe’s
largest EHR market, adoption will get a boost thanks to the National
Health Service’s (NHS) plans on going paperless by 2018. The growth of
the EHR market in the Asia-Pacific region will be mainly led by Japan and
Australia

Aranca’s Views
The adoption of EHRs would continue to rise over the next few years as healthcare institutions
focus on providing on-time, quality healthcare to patients. The US and other developed
economies in Western Europe would mainly drive the trend, whereas uptake in developing
countries is expected to be considerably slower. Despite the current growth trend, long-term
outlook for the industry depends on the ability of healthcare service providers to achieve
sustainable returns on their investments in EHR systems.
