Why India?
India’s healthcare market is entering a period of unprecedented growth. Valued at over $370 billion in 2022, it is projected to surpass $610 billion by 2026. Across the spectrum—hospital infrastructure, digital health, AI-powered diagnostics, and home-based care—demand is accelerating, creating a wealth of opportunities for international collaboration.
Private equity and venture capital firms invested $5.5 billion in India’s health and pharmaceutical sectors in 2023, marking a 25% year-on-year increase. Major hospital networks are rapidly expanding, with Manipal Hospitals’ recent acquisitions increasing their capacity to more than 10,500 beds nationwide. Meanwhile, the AI-in-healthcare market is projected to leap from $758.8 million in 2023 to $8.7 billion by 2030, growing at an impressive 41.8% CAGR.
California companies are particularly well-positioned to succeed in this market. The state’s expertise in medical technology, digital health solutions, artificial intelligence, and innovative service delivery models aligns perfectly with India’s healthcare priorities. For California innovators, the opportunity lies not only in meeting immediate needs but also in shaping the long-term evolution of India’s healthcare system.
