Key Market Trends

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the Largest Segment and is Expected to Grow During the Forecast Period

The international classification of diseases (ICD) segment is expected to register a significant share, in terms of revenue, over the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for trained medical coders. The need for ICD is increasing across the world, owing to a growing prevalence of diseases.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases is the number one cause of death globally, taking an anticipated 17.9 million lives each year. According to the British Heart Foundation (BHF), 17,06,213 cases of cardiovascular diseases are diagnosed in the United Kingdom alone. As per the statistics, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is increasing, which is directly proportional to the market growth.

Moreover, with the improving versions of ICD, its usage is expected to rise, as the newer versions provide more information than the previous ones further. The version of ICD-11 was released in June 2018 to allow member states to prepare for implementation, including translating ICD into their national languages. The ICD-11 version is a substantial improvement of the ICD-10 version; it has 55,000 unique codes for injuries, diseases, and causes of death compared to that of 14,400 in ICD-10. This ICD-11 version may be effective from 2022.

This release is an advance preview that may allow countries to plan how to use the new version, prepare translations, and train health professionals all across the country. Hence, this segment is expected to grow in the future due to the rising growth of medical coding across the world.
