The
global Medical
Tourism Market size is expected to reach USD 75.3 billion by 2030,
growing at a CAGR of 25.22% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by
Grand View Research, Inc. Cardiovascular treatment (coronary artery bypass
graft and heart valve transplantation), dental treatment (veneers, implants,
and crowns), cosmetic treatment (breast implants and facelifts) and orthopedic
treatment (knee & hip reconstruction and spinal surgery), are among the
most frequently performed procedures for medical tourists.
Most
elective surgeries, such as cosmetic surgery, certain dental surgeries,
fertility treatments, and weight loss surgeries, are not covered by insurance
companies in the U.S. Limited availability or lack of insurance coverage drives
people to seek procedures in countries such as Thailand, India, and Malaysia.
Cosmetic surgeries in most countries are considered elective, and therefore,
are not covered under health insurance. This results in interested patients
seeking treatment options abroad.
Patients
can save treatment costs substantially by traveling to countries where such
services are provided at lower costs. For instance, according to the American
Society of Plastic Surgeons, a breast augmentation procedure average costs
around USD 4,500 to USD 5,000 for an individual in the U.S., compared to around
USD 3,000 to USD 4,000 in Malaysia. In addition, the cost of IVF treatment
in the U.S. is between USD 12,000 and USD 25,000, whereas in Thailand, it is
priced at around USD 6,200 and USD 12,000. This price difference has led to an
increase in patient arrivals in Asian countries.
Moreover,
the option of combining wellness and medical trips with outstanding clinical
facilities and traditional medicine therapies is driving many patients to
prefer this option. China has emerged as a key destination for travelers
seeking stem cell therapies. Stem cell research is banned in several countries.
However, it is legal in China and hence tourists consider China for undergoing
it legally. The China market is growing rapidly, owing to a globally expanding
middle class, an aging population, and an increasing demand for cosmetic
surgery.
Advertising
is critical in gaining new clients. Similar to many other privately driven
sectors, medical tourism requires advertising exposure. Advertising on websites
has become the primary source of information for health travelers. Therefore,
having more recognized hospitals enhances a country's global standing. The
phenomenal increase in health tourism is being accompanied by the establishment
of Joint Commission International (JCI)-accredited health centers.
Singapore,
for example, has numerous specialist clinics and 22 hospitals, and specialized
centers accredited by the JCI, all of which provide high-quality healthcare
services. Due to the availability of state-of-the-art facilities, the country
is an attractive medical tourism destination in terms of accommodation and
housing alternatives.
However,
the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the market for medical tourism. It
shook the travel and tourism industry to its foundations. Prominent hospital
service providers suffered heavy losses in 2020, as COVID-19 pandemic travel
restrictions negatively affected health services aimed at medical tourists. A
majority of the workforce in this sector suffered economic losses. A sharp
decline in the number of patient arrivals due to travel bans and strict
regulations heavily impacted the overall market.
