Pakistan’s Healthtech Boom — The $1.5B Opportunity by 2030
Pakistan’s Healthtech industry is entering a rapid growth phase — projected to exceed $1.5 billion by 2030, driven by over 40% annual growth in telemedicine and e-pharmacy adoption (World Bank & BCG, 2024).
Yet, the challenge is stark: less than 5% of Pakistanis have health insurance, and nearly 70% of healthcare spending remains out-of-pocket. This funding gap is what’s fueling both impact capital and venture capital interest in the sector.
Market leaders such as Dawaai, Sehat Kahani, and Xylexa are already setting the pace, showing how technology can bridge Pakistan’s access, affordability, and efficiency gaps.
