      Analyst Opinion

      The Digital Treatment & Care market in Iran is witnessing significant growth and development across various sub-markets.

      Customer preferences:
      Iranian consumers are increasingly turning to digital solutions for healthcare needs due to the convenience and accessibility they offer. The younger population, in particular, is more tech-savvy and inclined towards using digital treatment and care applications. The demand for online pharmacy services is on the rise as people seek easier ways to purchase medications and healthcare products.

      Trends in the market:
      In Iran, there is a growing trend towards the adoption of smart health devices such as smart thermometers, blood glucose meters, and blood pressure monitors. These devices allow individuals to monitor their health parameters conveniently at home and share the data with healthcare providers if needed. Additionally, there is a noticeable interest in contraception/fertility apps among Iranian women who are looking for effective family planning solutions.

      Local special circumstances:
      Iran has a relatively young population compared to many Western countries, which influences the preferences and trends in the Digital Treatment & Care market. The increasing awareness about the importance of preventive healthcare measures is driving the demand for digital health solutions in the country. Moreover, the traditional healthcare system in Iran faces challenges such as long waiting times and limited access to specialized care, making digital treatment and care options more appealing to the population.

      Underlying macroeconomic factors:
      The economic landscape in Iran plays a crucial role in shaping the Digital Treatment & Care market. Despite facing sanctions and economic difficulties, the country has been investing in healthcare infrastructure and technology. This has created opportunities for digital health companies to introduce innovative solutions and services to cater to the evolving needs of the Iranian population. Additionally, the government's focus on promoting telemedicine and digital healthcare initiatives further propels the growth of the market in the country.

      Methodology

      Data coverage:

      The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on revenues and user data of relevant mobile applications and consumer electronics companies.

      Modeling approach / Market size:

      Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players, industry reports, third-party reports, and survey results from primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, population, internet penetration, smartphone penetration, consumer spending, and healthcare spending. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

      Forecasts:

      In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.
