How fast is Medical Tourism growing?

Medical tourism is the practice of traveling to another country or region for medical treatment or healthcare services, including surgeries (cosmetic or otherwise), dental care, fertility treatments, and alternative medicine practices. Key drivers for its global growth include cost savings, shorter waiting times, access to specialized procedures, and the desire to combine medical care with travel experiences. The global market is projected to grow from USD 38.2 billion in 2025 to USD 250.02 billion by 2034. Saudi Arabia is emerging as a significant destination, with its market expected to reach USD 0.68 billion by 2030, driven by its Vision 2030 investments to become a global health and wellness hub.
