Healthcare in India today provides existing and new players with a unique opportunity to achieve
innovation, differentiation and profits. In the next decade, increasing consumer awareness and
demand for better facilities will redefine the country‘s second largest service sector employer.
India's primary competitive advantage over its peers lies in its large pool of well-trained medical
professionals. Also, India's cost advantage compared to peers in Asia and Western countries is
significant — cost of surgery in India is one-tenth of that in the US or Western Europe.
In India, the diagnostics sector has been witnessing immense progress in innovative competencies
and credibility. Technological advancements and higher efficiency systems are taking the market to
new heights. The RNCOS report, 'Indian Diagnostic Market Outlook to 2015', highlights that the IVD
equipment market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 15 per cent from

well as medical tourism.
The Indian medical tourism industry is pegged at US$ 1 billion per annum, growing at around 18 per
cent and is expected to touch US$ 2 billion by 2015.
There is a significant scope for enhancing healthcare services considering that healthcare spending
as a percentage of GDP is rising. Rural India, which accounts for over 70 per cent of the population, is

demand.

million nurses are required to meet the growing demand.
