The service segment was the largest and was valued at USD 1,818.33 million in 2017. With the help of video-based consultations, the regular doctor-patient experience can be digitally recreated which enables patients and healthcare professionals to interact in real-time, face-to-face. Addressing symptoms, and outlining medical issues, video consultations are especially useful for visually evaluating patients. In addition, to get professional guidance and treatment suggestions for certain health concerns, patients can contact specialists in a variety of medical specialties, such as dermatology, cardiology, orthopedics, and mental health. Moreover, such applications of telemedicine such as allowing consumers to order medications online. For instance, HealthUno, an online pharmacy will soon introduce UnoPharmacy. Contrary to many other online medical consultation apps, HealthUno gives AYUSH physicians and practitioners of Indian Traditional Medicine the same consideration. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for online doctor consultations, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the online doctor consultation market during the forecast period.
The benefit of audio chat will create a huge demand for online doctor consultations. Online doctor consultations can be conducted through text-based communication or video calls. However, it is possible that new developments have been introduced, such as the use of audio chat segments. Although audio lacks the visual cues that video provides, doctors can still pick up on the patient's tone of voice, pauses, and other auditory signals that can convey additional information or emotional states. The goal of the healthcare industry is to provide easy access to high-quality medical services to patients nationwide. With online doctor consultations, patients can receive medical advice from recognized professionals from anywhere in the world, eliminating geographic barriers and increasing access to quality healthcare. As a result, the global online doctor consultation market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
The online doctor consultation business already includes considerable amounts of video chat segments. Video consultations have several advantages since they enable more thorough communication and visual evaluation compared to text-based or audio-only engagements. Telemedicine specializes in enhancing patient-provider communication for oral health, which is one of the top 10 diagnoses in primary care, especially for those whose appointments at the dentist's offices need them to travel there. For example, Relu is a Leuven-based AI startup that wants to employ AI in the dental industry. Four engineers launched the company two years ago, and they appreciate having a young, motivated staff. Their purpose is to assist specialists in digitally planning their therapies on fictitious patients. Therefore, it is evident that there is a huge demand for online doctor consultations, which, in turn, will boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 36% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases, coupled with the adoption of advanced telehealth technologies and the presence of numerous prominent vendors, are the primary drivers of the growth of the global online doctor consultation market in North America. The expansion of telehealth programs through various initiatives will also fuel the growth of the online doctor consultation market in the US.
For example, Koble, a digital health and wellness platform based in Ontario that supports families in planning, conceiving, giving birth, and returning to work after parental leave, has partnered with Dialogue Health Technologies Inc., Canada's leading virtual care and wellness platform. Such government and private initiatives are expected to boost the growth of the online doctor consultation market in North America.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 significantly affected many industries, but the online doctor consultation industry gained huge growth in this region. The regional government's initiation of massive vaccination drives in 2021 helped intensify the growth of the online doctor consultation industry. For example, In July 2022, Amazon closed its USD 3.9 billion deal for primary care provider One Medical. As a national, award-winning network of telehealth providers, Amazon Clinic functions as a virtual health marketplace. Customers can choose the third-party telehealth company that best fits their schedule and financial needs before connecting with a licensed clinician who can offer a message-based consultation and prescribe treatment. Such initiatives taken by vendors are expected to boost the growth of the online doctor consultation market in North America during the forecast period.

The imbalance between high patient influx and understaffing at health centers is notably driving market growth. Emergency department overcrowding is a serious issue that results from resource limitation, staff deficiency, and variability in patient inflow. This leads to delayed care and poor patient outcomes. Unfortunately, the current staffing levels in the healthcare industry are unable to cope with the high patient influx. In hospitals, it would be difficult to manually monitor the patient population and provide effective services.
However, the use of technology can complement and augment the personnel in the industry to reposition the capacity and scalability variables in the healthcare industry. Therefore, the growing demand for healthcare services will increase the adoption of online doctor consultations, which can reduce human effort, achieve operational efficiencies, and improve the overall quality of service. This, in turn, will fuel the growth of the global online doctor consultation market during the forecast period.
The advent of advanced technologies in providing online doctor consultations is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving due to advancements in technology. Innovative technologies such as machine learning, predictive analytics, blockchain, big data, IoT, augmented and virtual reality, and 3D printing have paved the way for telehealth solutions, including online doctor consultation services. Industry 4.0 is an emerging trend that refers to the use of digital technologies and smart automation in business and production processes. The growth of internet connectivity, smartphones, and wearable devices has made it easier for patients to communicate with healthcare providers and access healthcare services.
Moreover, healthcare professionals are using mobile health (mHealth) to improve patient engagement, monitor patients' medical conditions, and communicate with them effectively. With the growth of wireless communications, the global market for online doctor consultation services is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
The high cost of online doctor consultation services is a significant challenge hindering market growth. Online doctor consultation solutions deliver cost-effective healthcare services to patients. However, the establishment cost of telehealth in a clinical setting is costly, and it incorporates the cost of medical devices, software, devices, and services. The cost of medical devices that are used to provide online doctor consultation services depends on their specialty and specifications. The average cost for the development of mHealth applications is between USD 400,000 and USD 430,000.
Moreover, this expense does not include the maintenance or follow-up development cost after the launch of mHealth applications. Consequently, the rise in the capital investment required to establish and implement quality-based telehealth is expected to restrict its adoption by small- and medium-sized healthcare providers. This, in turn, is anticipated to impede the growth of the global online doctor consultation market during the forecast period.
