A joint study by the Confederation of Indian Industry and McKinsey on the Health Care industry shows,
- At the current pace of growth, medical tourism, currently pegged at US$ 350 million, has the potential to grow into a US$ 2 billion industry by 2012.
- Health care spending in the country will double over the next 10 years. Private health care will form a large chunk of this spending, rising from Rs 690 billion (US$ 14.8 billion) to Rs 1,560 billion (US$ 33.6 billion) in 2012. This figure could rise by an additional Rs 390 billion (US$ 8.4 billion) if health insurance cover is available to the rich and the middle class.
- The voluntary health insurance market, which is estimated at Rs 4 billion (US$ 86.3 million) currently, is growing fast. Industry estimates put the figure at Rs 130 billion (US$ 2.8 billion) by 2005.
- With the expected increase in the pharmaceutical market, the total health care market could rise from Rs 1,030 billion (US$ 22.2 billion) currently (5.2 per cent of GDP) to Rs 2,320 billion (US$ 50 billion)-Rs 3,200 billion (US$ 69 billion) (6.2-8.5 per cent of GDP) by 2012.
The credibility and success rate of this Industry is driven by the fact that,
- Indian specialists have performed over 500,000 major surgeries and over a million other surgical procedures including cardio-thoracic, neurological and cancer surgeries, with success rates at par with international standards.
- The success rate in the 43,000 cardiac surgeries till 2002 was 98.5 per cent.
- India's success in 110 bone marrow transplants is 80 per cent.
- The success rate in 6,000 renal transplants is 95 per cent.
That's an extremely promising scenario in Health care.
