Medical India tourism is growing rapidly as more international patients are traveling to the sub continent for treatments. The growth of medical tourism to India is being spurred by lower health care costs in the country along with other advantages. This provides a great opportunity for Indian players in the space to capitalize on the growth and increase their profits.
Some other factors leading to the growth in this market include the high quality level of treatments available and an increased demand for fertility treatments, aesthetic procedures and alternative medicine. The Indian Medical Travel Association has also contributed to increasing medical tourism to the country. However, the market still faces a few challenges including the lack of follow up care and international accreditation, as well as stiff competition from neighboring Asian countries.
