Based on the type of component, the global market is segmented into software, hardware, and services. According to our analysis, the software segment currently dominates the market by holding 65% share of the market. This can be attributed to the growing adoption of advanced cloud computing software such as patient engagement software, predictive data analytic software and electronic health records in healthcare industry to streamline medical operations.

However, it is worth mentioning that the services segment is likely to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the increasing shift towards third party cloud services provider to reduce operational costs.

Market Share by Type of Deployment

This segment highlights the distribution of global market across different types of deployment, such as private cloud, hybrid cloud and public cloud. According to our market report, currently, public cloud services account for the highest healthcare cloud computing market share (~65% share). This dominance is due to the fact that public cloud services are highly cost-effective than private, thereby eliminating the requirement of massive capital investment in healthcare IT infrastructure for deployment. Moreover, public cloud services are easy to access, and services providers are adding enhanced security features which further fueled the adoption rate across healthcare industry.

However, in the long run, private cloud deployment may register a higher CAGR driven by the preferences for secured connectivity for data transmission with healthcare industry.

Market Share by Type of Pricing Model

The global market is further bifurcated across different type of pricing model, such as pay-as-you-go and spot pricing. Currently, pay-as-you-go segment accounts for the highest healthcare cloud computing market share (54%). This is likely to be the result of the fact that pay-as-you-go models require low initial investment which eliminates the requirement of massive upfront investment in healthcare infrastructure. Moreover, the healthcare industry will pay only for the services that requirement which further helps to enhance resource management.

It is worth noting that spot pricing model segment is segment to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the fact that spot pricing provides more flexible options to optimize the cost of implementing cloud infrastructure specifically for interruptible administrative workflow.

Market Share by Type of Service Model

Based on the type of service model, the global healthcare cloud computing market is segmented into software-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, and platform-as-a-service. According to our market analysis, presently the software-as-a-service model accounts for 53% of the overall revenue share. This is primarily due to the fact that software-as-a-service is ready to use software to handle clinical information. Moreover, the healthcare industry does not require skilled forces to host and manage cloud services which significantly reduces the operational cost.

However, in the long run, the infrastructure-as-a-service segment is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This lucrative growth is due to enhanced security, customization, and simplified management process. Moreover, infrastructure-as-a-service allows healthcare professionals to receive additional computing resources when needed, which are expected to be a key driver for this segment.
