Asia-Pacific to Drive One-Third of Global PHM Market Growth, Projecting $89.3B by 2030 Amid Aging Demographics and Chronic Disease Challenges, Black Book Research
KUALA LUMPUR, MY / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / As HIMSS25 APAC convenes healthcare leaders, innovators, and policymakers in Kuala Lumpur this week, a major spotlight is cast on the dramatic rise of Population Health Management (PHM) adoption across the Asia-Pacific region. According to the newly released Q3 2025 Black Book of Global Healthcare IT, Asia-Pacific is projected to account for 33% of global PHM market growth, reaching an estimated USD 90 billion by 2031.
This growth is being driven by a convergence of strategic public health investments, demographic pressure from rapidly aging populations, rising chronic disease burdens, and aggressive digital health policies in countries such as Australia, China, Japan, India, and South Korea. These developments are fueling demand for PHM software, analytics, and care coordination tools that enable smarter, more equitable healthcare delivery.
The 540-page Black Book report underscores how Asia-Pacific nations are embracing PHM technologies to modernize fragmented systems, prioritize preventive care, and advance health equity across urban and rural populations. HIMSS25 APAC celebrates this transformation by recognizing the region's top-rated PHM vendors named through surveys of healthcare professionals worldwide across 110 countries for their leadership in accelerating digital health progress.
PHM Innovation Driving National Digital Health Strategies
Across the Asia-Pacific region, national health systems are undergoing a structural shift toward data-driven, interoperable ecosystems, with Population Health Management platforms emerging as core enablers of healthcare modernization. Governments are embedding PHM strategies into national digital health roadmaps to manage epidemiological transitions, optimize longitudinal care, and mitigate systemic inefficiencies through predictive analytics and real-time data integration.
Japan is deploying scalable PHM frameworks to support its super-aged society as 36.2% of its population will be over 65 by 2030. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) is accelerating investments in integrated care networks, leveraging AI-assisted telehealth systems and health information exchange (HIE) platforms to enable proactive chronic disease surveillance, care coordination, and eldercare continuity across prefectures.
South Korea is integrating population health analytics into its National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) and national precision medicine roadmap. Government-led initiatives like the "Data Dam" project are fueling cross-sector PHM innovation, with over 45 million citizens' clinical and claims data being securely harnessed for AI-driven risk stratification, early intervention modeling, and population-level disease forecasting.
China, under the Healthy China 2030 framework, has made PHM a strategic priority. With over 260 million citizens living with chronic illnesses, China has invested in more than 1,800 "smart hospital" pilots across provinces. These facilities incorporate real-time PHM dashboards, regional health data lakes, and cloud-based chronic disease registries, supporting large-scale risk analytics and personalized preventive care strategies.
India is rapidly scaling its digital public infrastructure (DPI) through the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), targeting over 1.4 billion citizens. With World Bank and Asian Development Bank support exceeding $1.3B, India is integrating PHM tools into its national health stack, linking EHRs, citizen health IDs, and national analytics grids to drive population-wide surveillance, immunization tracking, and digital therapeutics in remote and underserved geographies.
Australia continues to lead in rural and remote care innovation, supported by the National Digital Health Strategy and the My Health Record expansion. Through advanced telehealth integration, real-time care planning platforms, and federated PHM solutions, Australia is enhancing access for its 7 million rural residents. The Australian Digital Health Agency has reported a 52% increase in digitally coordinated chronic care encounters since 2022, largely attributed to targeted PHM deployments.
