Growing Cross-Border Healthcare Demand is Fueling Market Growth

Published: Oct 2025

Global outbound medical tourism services market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.6% during the forecast period (2025–2035). Outbound medical tourism is growing owing to the increased costs of health care available in developed countries and the available high-quality care in many countries outside their health care system. Medical tourism has grown into an option that patients can strategically use to access care that is lower in cost and faster to receive. Medical tourism is gaining increasing traction in the market as more countries develop their medical infrastructure, ease visa processes for those needing to travel for medical care, and market their accredited health care services. Medical tourism contributes to the global health care delivery system as access and awareness increase.
