Healthcare providers worldwide struggle with operational, financial, and clinical challenges on top of workforce scarcity. Payers are challenged with rising healthcare costs and shrinking margins. Payers, providers, and policymakers seek ways to curb these expenditures. Population health management (PHM) software that enables cost containment strategies, such as waste reduction, care coordination, and preventative care initiatives, becomes essential in this context.
Healthcare reimbursement policies are moving away from traditional fee-for-service models toward value-based arrangements, such as pay-for-performance and bundled payments. This shift incentivizes providers to improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary costs, driving the need for population health management (PHM) tools that support these initiatives. Evolving PHM models strive to address patient health needs across the care continuum, with timely interventions targeting populations with diverse risk groups, aiming preventive health and quality care management aligned with value-based care and personalized healthcare goals.
This research service provides an overview of the global PHM market, including a detailed analysis of its applications, namely data and analytics, care management, performance and quality management, and advisory services. Discussions include industry challenges, drivers, and restraints as well as a revenue forecast for each application area. The study period is 2023 to 2029.

Revenue Forecast
The revenue estimate for the base year 2023 is $29,538.5 million, with a CAGR of 11.4% projected for the study period 2023–2029.
The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Population Health Management (PHM) Industry
Disruptive Technologies
The explosion of healthcare data from various sources, such as electronic health records (EHRs), wearables, genomics, and social determinants of health (SDoH), presents a rich opportunity for analytics.
- Payers and providers recognize the value of leveraging this data to identify disease patterns, improve diagnostics, and make more informed treatment decisions.
- PHM software vendors are now focused on enhancing their analytical capabilities. By integrating machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing (NLP) into their platforms, they can offer more sophisticated risk stratification, predictive modeling, and clinical decision support tools.
- These advancements enable providers to identify at-risk patients, predict healthcare needs, and personalize care plans more effectively.
Internal Challenges
Providers worldwide struggle with operational, financial, and clinical challenges and workforce scarcity. Payers as well are challenged with rising healthcare costs and shrinking margins.
- PHM software vendors must demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) of their solutions.
- This involves showcasing how their software helps identify unnecessary expenditures, streamline care processes, and optimize resource utilization. Providing tools for cost benchmarking and performance improvement is crucial.
Transformative Megatrends
PHM software providers must develop robust risk assessment and analytics capabilities. This includes predicting patient health risks, identifying care gaps, and analyzing cost drivers.
- Vendors can position themselves as strategic partners by helping healthcare providers transition from volume to value-based care (VBC).

Growth Drivers
VBC Solutions: The transition from volume- to value-based care models drives the need for PHM software that supports risk stratification, care gap identification, and quality improvement initiatives. These solutions enable providers to thrive in value-based reimbursement structures.
Internet of Things (IoT) and Remote Monitoring: The growing adoption of IoT and wearable devices enables remote patient monitoring and real-time data collection. PHM software integrates with these devices to track patients' vital signs, medication adherence, and health behaviors, facilitating proactive care and early intervention.
Advanced Analytics and AI: The expansion of IoT, telehealth, and remote patient monitoring (RPM) is generating a huge amount of patient health data, which creates the need for AI-driven advanced analytics. Demand for PHM software that analyzes vast amounts of data via AI and ML for risk stratification, predictive analytics, and treatment plan optimization is growing.
Aging Population and Chronic Disease Management: Globally, the rising burden of chronic conditions and the aging population as well as a scarcity of resources to address this burden present the need for an effective PHM strategy for preventive measures that support risk mitigation and optimal resource utilization.
