India Medical Tourism Market to grow with a CAGR of 11.00% through 2030

Increasing healthcare infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment are the major drivers for the India Medical Tourism Market.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “India Medical Tourism Market - By Region, Competition, Opportunities & Forecast, 2020-2030F”, India Medical Tourism Market was valued at USD 9.01 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 16.76 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.00% during the forecast period. This can be due to collaborations and partnerships among leading companies with a diverse approach to merge the expertise of individual companies and to strengthen their position in the market.

Affordable healthcare plays a major role in driving demand within the medical tourism sector. Numerous individuals travel abroad specifically to receive high-quality healthcare at a reduced cost. A key reason for many medical tourists is the chance to undergo treatments and procedures at much lower prices than in their home countries. This price benefit is especially attractive to patients without insurance or with minimal coverage. Some treatments, particularly complex surgeries and specialized procedures, can be extremely costly in various countries. Medical tourists choose destinations offering the same standard of care at a more economical rate. Many such locations provide healthcare services equal to or better than those available at home. This means patients don’t need to sacrifice quality for affordability. Tourists often seek places with access to modern and advanced procedures that might be unavailable or harder to obtain locally. They can compare facilities, balancing cost and care, while combining treatment with vacation to lower expenses.

Geopolitical and security concerns present obstacles in the India Medical Tourism Market. These factors can influence the choices of prospective medical tourists and affect India's appeal as a healthcare destination. Political unrest or safety issues in specific Indian cities or regions might discourage tourists. Patients and their families prioritize safety and might choose destinations seen as more stable. Tensions or incidents can trigger travel advisories from foreign governments, discouraging citizens from seeking treatment in India and reducing tourist inflow. Insurance companies may revise coverage or premiums based on perceived geopolitical risks, complicating insurance for medical trips. Patients may encounter difficulties securing suitable insurance plans. Security-related issues can also prompt stricter travel controls, such as visa rejections and enhanced entry protocols. These measures may hinder potential medical tourists from obtaining required travel documentation. Overall, such concerns can significantly influence a patient's decision to consider India as a medical tourism option, affecting the market's growth.

India Medical Tourism Market is segmented based on type, treatment type, service, and by region.

Based on the service, in 2024, the India Medical Tourism Market largest share was held by Medical VISA segment in the forecast period and is predicted to continue expanding over the coming years.  The Indian government has streamlined the visa application process for medical tourists. The Medical Visa category is specifically designed to make it easier for foreign patients to obtain a visa for medical treatment in India. This simplification and specialization in the visa category have made it more convenient for patients to travel to India. Medical Visas typically have longer durations compared to regular tourist visas. This allows patients and their accompanying family members to stay in India for the necessary duration to complete their medical treatment and recovery, which is essential for many complex medical procedures.

The Medical Visa category is tailored to those seeking healthcare services in India. It provides patients with greater access to healthcare facilities, doctors, and treatment options, ensuring they can receive the necessary medical attention. India is known for offering specialized medical care in various fields such as cardiology, orthopaedics, oncology, and organ transplantation. The Medical Visa is well-suited for patients seeking these specialized treatments. The Medical Visa category ensures that patients comply with the regulations and legal requirements related to seeking medical treatment in India. This provides a level of assurance for both patients and healthcare providers.

Based on Region, North India has emerged as the fastest-growing region in India’s medical tourism market due to a combination of strategic, infrastructural, and demographic factors. Major cities like Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Jaipur have seen rapid development in healthcare infrastructure, housing some of the country’s top multi-specialty hospitals and specialized treatment centers. These institutions offer advanced medical procedures, internationally accredited services, and expert professionals, attracting patients from across India and abroad. The region benefits from strong connectivity through international airports, especially in Delhi, which acts as a gateway for foreign medical tourists. North India also sees high demand from neighboring countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, due to cultural proximity and ease of access. The government’s active promotion of medical tourism through streamlined visa processes and initiatives like “Heal in India” has further enhanced the region’s appeal. The growth of IVF clinics and cosmetic surgery centers in tier 2 and 3 cities, combined with increasing awareness and affordability, has broadened access and driven strong market expansion in North India.
