India's Healthcare Spending
According to the Economic Survey 2022-23, India's government spending on healthcare was 2.1% of its GDP in 2022-23 and 2.2% in 2021-22. This is much lower compared to developed countries; for example, the US spent 16.6% of its GDP on healthcare in 2022, Germany spent 12.7%, and France spent 12.1%.
India plans to increase its healthcare spending. The Fifteenth Finance Commission suggested raising it to 2.5% of the GDP by 2025. This increase is being pushed by advances in technology, new innovations, and better accessibility to healthcare services.
Experts from Boston Consulting Group and B Capital predict that India's healthcare market will grow significantly, from $2.7 billion in 2022 to an estimated $37 billion by 2030.
