The 26 April 2005 edition of the European eGovernment News Roundup, reports that according to a recent study by Frost & Sullivan the European e-healthcare industry is moving towards consolidation and the market is set to double in size within five years.
Anticipated sustained investment in this field could mean that the market could be worth USD 6.34bn (EUR 4.8bn) in 2010.
Up until now the growth rate has primarily been achieved due to the active implementation of Hospital Clinical Information Systems (HIS) in the major markets across Europe.
