Mumbai: The healthcare industry is expected to grow annually at 16-17 per cent to reach to Rs 8.6 trillion by FY22 on the back of the Centre's Ayushman Bharat scheme which if implemented successfully can go a long way in meeting the severe shortage of healthcare infrastructure, say a brokerage report.
The significant interest seen in acquiring Fortis Healthcare from multiple players both domestic as well as international ones including non-healthcare companies clearly signifies the attractiveness of the domestic healthcare industry, says the report. Hospitals are expected to grow at 16-17 per cent CAGR to reach to Rs 8.6 trillion by FY22 from Rs 4 trillion in FY17. That means if the above scheme is implemented successfully, healthcare delivery market can grow multi-fold, the report added.
