Market Trends of Global Preventive Healthcare Technologies and Services Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Preventive Healthcare Technologies & Services Market according to our research experts:
Vaccines Segment is Expected to Account for the Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period
Vaccines are injections, liquids, pills, or nasal sprays that are taken to prepare the body's immune system to recognize and defend against harmful germs. There are vaccines to protect against diseases caused by Viruses that cause the flu and COVID-19 and Bacteria, including tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Factors such as rising research and development activities and the launch of new campaigns to boost the process of vaccination will increase the demand for vaccines, thus growing the preventive healthcare technologies and services market.
The growing research activities in the segment will fuel the market. For instance, in July 2021, ModernaTX, Inc. initiated a phase 1/2, randomized, stratified, observer-blind, dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of mRNA-1010 seasonal influenza vaccine in healthy adults 18 years and older. This study is estimated to be completed by September 2022. Thus, positive results from such studies will boost the influenza vaccination process, thereby preventing more individuals from the disease.
Additionally, in June 2021, the National Institutes of Health launched a phase 1 trial assessing the safety and immunogenicity of an investigational nanoparticle influenza vaccine designed to provide long-lasting protection against multiple flu virus strains. The vaccines are reformulated to match the changes in Hemagglutinin (HA) protein found on the surfaces of the influenza virus. Therefore, growing research and development activities proving the efficacies of reformulated vaccines will lead to lucrative growth of the market.
Moreover, the launch of campaigns to create awareness regarding vaccines will also drive the vaccination drives, thus contributing to the significant growth of the market. For instance, in March 2022, the Measles vaccination campaign was launched by World Health Organization in Afghanistan to fight the ongoing outbreak. It is estimated that more than 1.2 million children aged 6-59 months are planned to be vaccinated during the ongoing measles vaccination campaign in Afghanistan.
Thus, due to the above-mentioned factors, the studied segment is expected to contribute to the significant growth of the market.

Due to the high burden of chronic diseases in the country, it is essential to manage them during the time effective treatment can be provided. Therefore, the demand for technologies and services used to monitor chronic diseases is expected to boost during the study period, thus driving the market.
The mark of new entrants in the market indicates that it's a growing field and will register lucrative growth during the study period. For instance, in March 2022, FDB (First Databank, Inc. launched FDB Vela, a new, cloud-native electronic prescribing (ePrescribing) network that enables the seamless flow of critical medication prescription information, benefits verification, and clinical decision support between prescribers, payers, pharmacies, and other constituents. Thus, the launch of companies offering electronic prescribing services will boost the market.
Moreover, the launch of new preventive healthcare technologies and services in the region will further drive the market. For instance, in February 2022, Teladoc Health, Inc. launched Chronic Care Complete, a first-of-its-kind chronic condition management solution to help individuals improve their health outcomes while living with multiple chronic conditions. The solution provides members with a unified, comprehensive experience that leverages connected health monitoring devices, access to health coaches, and support from physicians and mental health specialists when needed.
