This sector is comprised of hospitals, medical devices, outsourcing, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance and medical equipments. Also, the medical expenditures in India are projected to grow up to US$ 43.7 Billion by 2020. As per our analysis, there are several factors, such as growing geriatric population, increasing incidences of non-communicable diseases, rising disposable income, and increasing awareness among people, which are impacting the growth of Indian Healthcare industry.
