Healthcare expenditure and ever-increasing complexity in insurance claims processing, regulatory compliance, and member management increase payers to hold outsourcing services. The rapid digitization of healthcare, integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, and the adoption of analytics solutions for fraud detection and data-driven decision-making further boost market growth. Moreover, health insurance coverage due to government initiatives, particularly in emerging economies, has increased the demand for payer services. Other factors driving this market include a shift toward value-based care models and the requirement to shorten administrative processes while increasing patient engagement.
Restraining Factors

North America is anticipated to hold the largest share of the healthcare payer services market over the predicted period. This is because health IT services continue to gain much demand, thereby propelling the outsourcing of business processes in the healthcare supply chain market to rise throughout the forecast period.
