The global healthcare fraud analytics market was valued at USD 1.73 billion in 2021 and it is predicted to surpass around USD 11.4 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 23.31% from 2022 to 2030.
The rising incidence of fraudulent activities in the healthcare sector, increasing number of patients seeking health insurance, high returns on investment, and the increasing number of pharmacy claims-related frauds are the major drivers propelling the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected the healthcare industry. The healthcare industry has observed various fraud cases on the part of doctors, patients, physicians, and other healthcare specialists. It is observed that many medical specialists and healthcare providers are engaged in fraudulent activities for profit gains. Many instances prove the increasing number of fraud cases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The adoption of software used for fraud detection by insurance companies is increasing due to the rising availability of the same in developed regions. For instance, in February 2022, The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) launched an industry initiative to pool claims data and use advanced artificial intelligence tools which enhance the investigation and detection of benefits fraud.
Moreover, in June 2021, Artivatic launched the Alfred- AI Health Claims platform. This platform automates end-to-end health claims, and the abuse & fraud detection capacity is almost 30% or more. Moreover, it enables users to self-learn and develop a system for decision-making, risk assessment, and fraud detection. This growth in the availability of the software is because of increasing healthcare expenditure, which triggers the companies to come up with a product or service to meet the market demand.
The rising incidence of fraudulent activities in the healthcare sector drives the market globally. For example, according to data published by the National Library of Medicine, the fraudulent activities count raised from 30 in 2019 to 52 in the year 2021. The market is highly competitive and consists of several major players. With the rising adoption of healthcare IT solutions and the increasing number of fraud cases, smaller or private players are anticipated to enter the market in the coming years.
Initiatives like collaborations or partnerships with local players, acquisitions, or new product launches by market players contribute to the market growth. For example, in April 2019, HCL Technologies Limited launched the CyberSecurity Fusion Center in Texas, U.S., and expanded its U.S. operations with the CyberSecurity Center.

Solution Type Insights
The descriptive analytics segment held the largest market share of around 40.0% in 2021, owing to its high adoption due to ease of use. It utilizes current as well as historical data for the identification of trends and relationships. This helps in the identification of possible frauds in a better way. It also acts as a base for an effective application of prescriptive and predictive analytics. This further supports the segment’s growth.
The predictive analytics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth during the projected period. The most effective way for preventing fraud is by identifying them before the claims are paid. Owing to this, healthcare payers have started adopting predictive analytics solutions. These solutions identify the patterns that are potentially fraudulent, and then develop some rules to flag certain claims.
The prescriptive analytics segment is also expected to witness significant growth, as they also help in evaluating the cost and benefit of a certain solution and help them organize to analyze if they are spending more on trying to catch the fraud, as compared to what they would be losing from the potential fraud.
Delivery Model Insights
The on-premise segment held the highest revenue share of more than 51% in 2021, owing to the ease of access of data being on the site, i.e., hospitals, etc. which has resulted in better management of records as well as monitoring of the data, among other things. Current systems in small organizations are practical, but when scaled up it can be difficult and cumbersome to manage data if the organization is dealing with a large dataset. This can mean large capital investment in the storage and security of data.
The cloud-based segment is estimated to witness the fastest growth of 26.2% during the forecast period, as it has been the emerging delivery mode because it provides a larger space virtually to store data for a multitude of patients. This is cost-effective and is commercially a more viable option for industries. Limitations of this segment include more security concerns regarding loss of data and less privacy.
Application Insights
The insurance claims review segment held the largest market share of over 35% in 2021, due to the rising adoption of health insurance by people, which also results in a growing number of fraudulent claims. The segment is further divided into post-payment review and prepayment review. The prepayment review segment is likely to grow at the fastest CAGR owing to its rising demand from healthcare providers.
The pharmacy billing issue segment is also expected to grow significantly, owing to the rising number of medical billing frauds occurring in the pharmacies. Similarly, the payment integrity segment is also likely to expand at a considerable growth rate. Payment integrity is a tool, which payers use for tightening the administrative side to lower the costs.
End-User Insights
By end-user, public & government agencies dominated with a share of over 41.0% in 2021 in the healthcare fraud analytics market. The key factors contributing to the large share include a higher volume of patients in government hospitals, and the high vulnerability of government agencies to fraudulent activities due to the lack of technologically advanced infrastructure, especially in the developing nations.
The employers' segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the projected period, owing to the increasing demand for healthcare fraud analytics by employers for enabling better cost management. The private insurance payers segment is also estimated to witness significant growth, owing to the rising use of fraud analytics solutions for combating the growing monetary losses.
Regional Insights
North America dominated the global market with a share of around 38% in 2021. This is owing to the rising healthcare spending, increasing healthcare IT adoption, and the growing number of fraud cases. According to data published by the National Library of Medicine, fraudulent activities are more commonly seen in the North America region, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific region, in the year 2020. Asia Pacific region is likely to witness the fastest growth rate of around 26.7% during the projected period, owing to the increasing adoption of technologically advanced solutions.
According to National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA), the United States spends over USD 2.27 trillion on health care every year. Of that amount, NHCAA estimates that tens of billions of dollars are lost to health care fraud. Thus, owing to the availability of numerous advanced services and solutions related to healthcare fraud detection, and strategic steps taken by major players present in the country, it is expected to drive the growth of the studied market in the North America region during the projection period.
