Healthcare is now the world’s largest data engine.

30% of global data volume is generated by the healthcare sector

Main drivers:

1. AI-powered diagnostics (medical imaging, predictive analytics)
2. Genomic sequencing (population-scale & personalized medicine)
3. Connected health systems (EHRs, wearables, remote monitoring)

Implications:

• Healthcare data is shifting from record-keeping → decision intelligence
• Data governance, interoperability, and cybersecurity become strategic risks
• Countries and institutions that fail to modernize will lose both efficiency and trust

Healthcare is no longer just a service sector — it is becoming a core data infrastructure industry.
