The rising number of patients with cardiac disorders, the need to reduce the risk of cardiac arrest, the adoption of time-sensitive and effective work processes for telestroke services, and favourable reimbursement policies, among other factors, are expected to drive the growth of the telestroke services market during the forecast period.
Additionally, ongoing research and technology development such as the partnership between the Prince of Wales Hospital, ehealth NSW, the Agency for Clinical Innovation, and the New South Wales Ministry of Health, are playing a key role in expanding telestroke services. Building on the successful trials in Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, the initiative is set to expand across 23 sites in New South Wales (NSW) further driving the market growth.
Furthermore, the increased number of emerging markets and new product releases will create further potential for telestroke services throughout the projection period. Owing to all these factors, the global market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% throughout the forecast period.
Stroke is one of the top causes of mortality and disability around the world. The World Health Organization named stroke (ischemic heart disease) the leading cause of death in 2021, responsible for nearly 13% of the world’s total deaths. Stroke is a major public health problem with substantial economic and social ramifications. Because of shifting demographics, the public health burden of stroke is expected to rise in the next decades, particularly in emerging nations. Clinical outcomes in individuals with acute ischemic stroke have improved as novel treatment techniques, such as intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and mechanical thrombectomy, have been developed.
Many therapies are time-sensitive there are significant discrepancies in the availability of neurologists and life-saving treatment choices between rural and urban areas. Delays in detection and treatment increase the risk of mortality and a poor prognosis following a stroke. According to Frontiers Media S.A., the supply gap for neurologists is expected to grow from 11% in 2012 to 19% by 2025, with vascular neurologists experiencing the greatest decline.
A retrospective study examining consultations from April 2015 to April 2016, demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy of the Ochsner Telestroke Program. The study showcased an 85% diagnostic correlation between the teleneurological diagnosis and final discharge diagnosis for patients with both stroke and stroke mimics.
Telestroke services are anticipated to help bridge this gap by providing remote access to neurologists in underserved areas, allowing for improved diagnostic accuracy, reduced treatment delays, and enhanced patient outcomes, especially in underserved or rural areas. As such, the growing adoption of telestroke services is expected to play a critical role in addressing the widening gap in stroke care.
The lack of government initiatives in developing economies, as well as a large number of people who are unaware of the services, is likely to hinder the growth rate. Inadequate funding for healthcare infrastructure, reimbursement limitations, and lack of standardized protocols for implementing stroke care programs, especially in rural areas, further present challenges to market growth.
The development of telemedicine programs requires upfront capital investment for acquiring hardware, software, and audiovisual tools along with high-speed internet connectivity for data transmission. The lack of financial support from governments or foundations, combined with inconsistent reimbursements policies and limited access to reliable technology continues to pose significant obstacles to the broader adoption of telestroke services.
Consultation is an integral part of both routine as well as emergency stroke care across healthcare facilities. Compared to other services, demand for consultation services is high due to their direct impact on improving acute stroke care outcomes, particularly in managing ischemic strokes.
A comprehensive study analyzing 12,803 telestroke consultations from 2003–2018 revealed increased utilization of teleconsultations and the growing adoption of telestroke services. The study also found a notable reduction in the door-to-needle times along with an increase in the number of patients treated with alteplase, a critical clot-busting medication.
Furthermore, nearly two-thirds of consultations were managed via phone, and 51% of the overall consultations were diagnosed as acute ischemic strokes within 9 hours of consulting. This accessibility and efficiency make consultation services a preferred model in the telestroke services market.
The ischemic stroke is predicted to dominate the telestroke services market in 2025. The high prevalence of ischemic stroke globally is creating significant demand for timely diagnosis and treatment. Recent studies indicate a rising burden of stroke, especially ischemic stroke which constitutes 65.3% of all stroke incidents. Furthermore, in 2021, ischemic strokes were responsible for nearly 3.6 million deaths worldwide.
The availability of treatments for strokes, such as mechanical thrombectomy or clot-busting medications (tPA), makes rapid consultation and assessment crucial. Telestroke services give neurologists the ability to quickly diagnose and manage these strokes, minimizing brain damage and improving patient outcomes and recovery. Hemorrhagic strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIA), on the other hand, are relatively less common and require more specialized treatment, leading to lower demand for remote consultations.
North America market is expected to account for the largest share of the global market in the coming years, owing to improved healthcare and medical infrastructure, the availability of adequate and favourable reimbursement policies, and increased awareness in the country about the benefits of telemedicine services.
Despite breakthroughs in understanding various aspects of the illness, such as epidemiology, quality of life, and pathogenesis, stroke remains a serious public health problem. It is the primary cause of mortality and disability in the country. According to the American Heart Association, one in every 21 fatalities in the United States in 2021 was caused by a stroke, and one person died from a stroke every 3 minutes and 14 seconds in 2021.Furthermore, stroke is the fifth-leading cause of mortality in the United States, accounting for nearly 795,000 strokes occurring annually in the U.S. Given these factors, North America is expected to maintain its leading position in the telestroke services market, with continued investment in telehealth infrastructure playing a critical role in addressing the region's growing stroke burden.
The Europe market is anticipated to account for over 24% of the global market share in 2025. The growth is driven by increasing adoption of telemedicine, advancements in digital health technologies and increasing government initiatives promoting telehealth integration. European countries such as Germany, and the UK have made significant strides in incorporating telestroke services into their healthcare models to improve stroke outcomes.
European Stroke Organisation (ESO) and its ESO Telestroke Committee further work towards improving the distribution of high-quality stroke treatment across Europe through telemedicine. Additionally, the National Stroke Programme developed jointly by the National Health Service (NHS) and the Stroke Association, have implemented several pilot programs and regional initiatives in the UK to expand telestroke access further boosting the UK telestroke services market.
Adoption of global telestroke services in remote and rural areas is expected to gain traction in the Asia Pacific market in the coming years.
The China telestroke services market is predicted to have robust expansion in the telehealth industry. Recent studies highlighted a high prevalence and incidence of total stroke (5.0%), ischemic stroke (4.4%), and hemorrhagic stroke (0.9%) in the high-risk stroke population in China. Additionally, the stroke recurrence rate was nearly 6.7% within 1 year of follow-up. This growing burden of stroke, combined with the country’s increasing investment in digital healthcare infrastructure, is accelerating demand for remote stroke care solutions.
The rapid adoption of mobile technology and digital health solutions in countries such as India, China, and Australia further boost the telestroke service adoption in Asia Pacific.
Several players are offering range of services aimed at improving stroke diagnosis and treatment through telemedicine. Strategic partnerships and collaborations between healthcare providers, technology firms, and research institutions are shaping the competitive landscape.
