Healthcare cloud market forecast tops $54 billion by 2033
The healthcare cloud computing market is on a steep growth trajectory, with DataM Intelligence projecting that it will more than triple in value over the next decade. The firm says the market reached $18.16 billion in 2024, up from $16.20 billion in 2023, and is expected to climb to $54.72 billion by 2033.
For eeNews Europe readers, the significance is twofold: cloud adoption is increasingly shaping the architecture of digital health systems, and it is driving demand for advanced compute, security, networking and data-handling technologies that sit at the heart of modern healthcare electronics and embedded infrastructure. The trend also highlights where investment and innovation are concentrating as healthcare organizations modernize IT and clinical workflows.
Cloud becomes foundational for digital health
According to the release, healthcare providers, payers, and life sciences companies are accelerating cloud adoption to improve operational efficiency, patient care and data-driven decision-making. Cloud computing is positioned as a core enabler of the sector’s wider digital transformation, supporting scalable storage, real-time access to patient data, interoperability, and cost optimization.
This push is also framed as a response to systemic pressures: rising healthcare costs, workforce shortages and growing patient expectations. In that environment, cloud solutions are shifting from “optional upgrade” to strategic necessity, as organizations increasingly migrate away from legacy on-premise platforms toward hybrid and public cloud environments, the report indicates.
Healthcare cloud computing, as defined in the release, includes cloud-based infrastructure, platforms and software used to store, manage, analyze and exchange healthcare data and applications. Key use cases span clinical information systems, revenue cycle management, telemedicine, population health analytics and AI-driven diagnostics.
Growth drivers: telehealth, AI and interoperability
DataM Intelligence points to sustained double-digit growth between 2025 and 2033, with the market forecast to expand at a 13.2% CAGR. The release cites several drivers behind this acceleration, including expanding telehealth and remote care, increased use of electronic health records (EHRs), and rising adoption of AI and big data analytics.
AI-enabled diagnostics, predictive analytics, and personalized medicine require significant processing and storage capacity, and cloud infrastructure enables organizations to scale compute without large upfront capital investment, the report indicates. Interoperability is another key factor, with cloud-based systems supporting standardized APIs and data exchange frameworks to improve care coordination and population health management.
Regional momentum and market structure
North America is described as the largest market, accounting for 45.43% of global revenue in 2024, while Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region, with a projected 13.7% CAGR over the forecast period. Europe, meanwhile, is positioned for steady growth, supported by national digital health initiatives, though the release notes that data protection and residency requirements are steering many deployments toward hybrid and private cloud models.
On service model segmentation, SaaS led the market with a 64% revenue share in 2024, reflecting the widespread adoption of cloud-hosted EHRs, practice management and telehealth platforms. Major players cited in the release include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, Optum, CareCloud, athenahealth, Epic Systems and Salesforce.
