Market Sizing

The evolution of the healthcare market is fast-paced. Emerging technologies and trends reveal new opportunities for firms to grow. New markets emerge allowing innovators to expand towards fresh horizons while current markets are built on shifting sands, pulled in unfamiliar directions by mergers, acquisitions, new differentiators and changing regulatory frameworks.

A key challenge for firms involved in healthcare is to accurately chart the spaces they occupy today or wish to navigate in the future.  Understanding market size, potential, competitive structure and trends is important in any industry, but one that can prove particularly challenging in the healthcare space.

Consider the following:

  • Healthcare is often a distinct subset of an overall market - an overall look at the temporary staffing market does not provide much insight into the market for per diem nursing or locum tenens physicians
  • In markets such as Healthcare IT, new technologies grow spaces and bleed into adjacent (e.g. revenue cycle management incorporates and encompasses other markets such as billing, practice management, eligibility, A&R, EDI etc.)
  • Markets are often gated by clinical discoveries, new evidence, safety fears, expiring patents, etc. Any of these can quickly dethrone incumbents, crown insurgents and redraw boundaries
