Analyst Opinion

The Digital Treatment & Care market in Croatia is witnessing a significant growth trajectory with the increasing adoption of digital health solutions across various segments.

Customer preferences: Customers in Croatia are increasingly leaning towards digital treatment and care options due to the convenience and accessibility they offer. The rise in smartphone usage and internet penetration has made digital health solutions more popular among tech-savvy individuals. The preference for remote monitoring and self-management of health conditions is also driving the demand for digital therapeutics and smart healthcare devices in the country.

Trends in the market: In Croatia, there is a growing trend towards the use of contraception/fertility apps for family planning and reproductive health management. These apps provide women with valuable insights into their menstrual cycles, ovulation periods, and fertility windows. Medication checker apps are also gaining traction among the population as they help in verifying drug information, interactions, and dosage instructions. The online pharmacy sector is witnessing a surge in demand as more people opt for the convenience of ordering medications online and getting them delivered to their doorstep. Smart thermometers, blood glucose meters, and blood pressure monitors are becoming increasingly popular among individuals looking to track their health vitals seamlessly. Social alarms are also seeing a rise in adoption among the elderly population for emergency assistance and remote monitoring.

Local special circumstances: Croatia's healthcare system is undergoing digital transformation, with the government investing in eHealth initiatives to improve healthcare delivery and accessibility. The country's aging population and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are driving the need for innovative digital treatment and care solutions. The geographical distribution of healthcare facilities in Croatia also plays a role in boosting the demand for telehealth services and remote monitoring solutions, especially in rural areas with limited access to healthcare providers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growing awareness about the importance of preventive healthcare and the shift towards value-based care models are influencing the adoption of digital treatment and care solutions in Croatia. Economic factors such as rising healthcare costs and the need for efficient healthcare delivery are also driving the market growth.
