A global survey conducted shows the highest increases are projected this year (11.5%) in Latin America, due to high inflation rates in some countries.

Asia-pacific and North America are expected to rise by 8.6% while Europe by 4.5%.

High cost of investment in technology followed by high profit margins of suppliers were cited as the prime reason for the rise. The study also shows that the prospects of controlling costs in short term are not optimistic.

Most insurers in all regions except for Middle East and Africa expect an upward trend in medical costs over the next three years. The study reveals that three out of four insurers surveyed (74%) pointed out the excessive use of medical services coming from a high prescription by doctors, as the factor affecting costs.

More than half (54%) pointed to excessive and inappropriate use of medical services by employees. According to the survey, increasing number of companies are offering their employees prevention plans, encouraging them to take responsibility for their own health.

Globally, four out of ten respondents offer welfare programs. In the US, three-quarters of insurers have these programs, while only half of European insurers provide these services. The supply of these services / programs is expected to grow.

But in present scenario it can be said that despite the difficulties, Asia and Latin America can provide ample opportunities to the companies which desire to grow faster due to the rising population, high demand and growing middle class with disposable incomes. To gain the edge, healthcare players must strategize uniquely to invest in these regions such as find the right local partners, design custom strategies for each country, test them in pilots, and go large-scale. The global healthcare market is expected to be worth USD 2.69 trillion in 2025. The global healthcare will be affected by a change in regional dynamics, with Asia and Latin America due to grow by large amounts. Asia may overtake Europe in terms of market size; it is currently growing at 11.7%.
