Healthcare Digital Marketing Market Overview

The healthcare digital marketing market is estimated to be worth $305 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at CAGR of 26% during the forecast period.

Advent of smartphones coupled to the easy accessibility of information on the internet, has rendered it crucial for companies to establish a digital presence. As opposed to traditional strategies, digital marketing is not only cost effective but offers several ancillary benefits, such as targeted outreach and data driven output. In fact, a recent study stated that digital advertising is expected to account for around 50% of the overall global advertisement spend by 2021. However, the adoption of digital marketing solutions in the pharmaceutical industry has been stymied owing to various regulatory restrictions; presently, the healthcare industry accounts for only 2% of the US digital ad spend. Despite this, it is encouraging to note that over 85% of the patients in the US have access to digital and online resources to assist them in making informed healthcare decisions.

Further, most of the individuals claim to use healthcare apps to track their diagnosed condition; therefore, large amount of data is available for studying the trends associated with a particular indication. In addition, a recent study concluded that physicians are actively using different digital and social media platforms in order to make healthcare related decisions, such as prescription of a particular drug. The aforementioned factors indicate that there is a growing need for pharma companies to increase their digital presence, through activity on social media and participation in online forums, in order to widen their reach to target the relevant customer segments. 

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies offer several advantages; examples include allowing patients to have a deeper understanding of their condition, ensuring effective communication by providing immersive experiences, assisting sales representatives to give quick and appealing product illustrations, and enabling individuals to assess the impact of various treatment options, through product demonstrations or use of virtual clinics. Estimates suggest that more than 60% of the consumers feel more engaged with a brand that offers them a VR experience; likewise, a similar percentage of US based physicians are reported to be inclined to use such solutions for education and training purposes. The growing applications of AR / VR in the healthcare marketing sector have compelled various big pharma players to invest in such novel solutions and innovative strategies. We believe that stakeholders in the pharma industry that choose to adopt such technologies, in order to form engaging relationships with their consumers and ensure brand loyalty, are likely to be able to distinguish themselves from other industry stakeholders. Owing to this, the healthcare digital marketing market likely to witness substantial market growth during the forecast period.
