Thailand's healthtech field set to grow: analysts
THAILAND'S health technology (healthtech) industry is poised for growth as the government doubles down on digitalisation of the healthcare sector, industry analysts said.
Hospital systems, pharmaceuticals and information technologies such as electronic health records and clinical decision support have been identified as segments that could do with disruption, according to a recent report from consultancy GlobalData.
The firm highlighted an ageing population, higher digital penetration, "and supportive government policies such as incentivising manufacturers of high-risk or high-technology medical devices" as some of the key growth drivers for Thai health-tech.
