DISRUPTION: Could this be the best word to describe what the Life Sciences and Healthcare industries are going through today?
Both are experiencing a turbulent global transformation, and this is due to several factors:
1.An aging population causing increased demand for healthcare services.
2. Unsustainable costs of healthcare delivery.
3. Technological innovation is sky rocketing.
4. The arrival of competitors from outside the traditional Healthcare industry (most of them coming from the technology sector).
The future and growth of these industries will go through multiple transitions caused by innovation, mergers and acquisitions, the expansion into new geographical regions, the growth of artificial intelligence in medicine and the extensive use of hospital and pharmacy robotics together with elderly-care robots.
In 1960 healthcare accounted for less than 6% of the US GDP. By 2015 it has nearly tripled and now represents 18%. The growth is exponential.
McKinsey & Co predicts that healthcare spending in China will reach US$ 1 trillion by 2020 up from $350 billion today.
Even at that level, healthcare spending in China will be 1/3 of the US cost, only $1,000 per person compared to $8,915 per person in the US.
In order to continue to grow in this competitive and turbulent landscape, Healthcare and Life Sciences firms will require exceptional leaders and change managers, moving slowly away from technical experts that the industry traditionally has cultivated.
New career opportunities are also being created with the growth of positions such as, Chief Patient Officer, Chief Digital Officer, and Head of Payer Strategy as examples.
Healthcare jobs are predicted to grow at a much higher rate than all other jobs from now until 2024. Demand for Audiologists will grow 29% annually until 2024, Dentists at 18%, Genetic Counselors at 29% etc.
