Increasing investment in healthcare economics, examination of medical outcomes and interoperability of health data will offer lucrative industry growth in upcoming years. Access to many users simultaneously eliminate reductant processes, and reduced operational costs make the software feasible to handle. Rising prevalence of significant advancements in technology owing to increased work efficiency in academic research and start-up companies will drive the consumer preference for blockchain technology. Moreover, blockchain technology will reduce significant cost components, further impelling the industry growth in future years. Growing awareness about implementation of blockchain technology and government initiative for data standardization and operational scalability constraint in data management will spur industry growth in upcoming years. For instance, the U.S. government implemented Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) in the year 2009. The act was implemented to motivate the deployment of electronic technology among doctors, researchers and hospitals for reducing operational costs and maintaining accurate data monitoring by the government. Such initiatives and regulations will augment the demand for blockchain technology in the healthcare field over the foreseeable future.

However, dearth of skilled workforce and high installation cost may limit blockchain technology implementation over the coming years.
