The growth of this market is estimated to grow owing to key driving factors such as the development of digital health infrastructure and increasing use of patient registries are the key factors driving the market growth. However, the market is expected experiencing slow growth during the forecast period owing to the concerns associated with the patient data breach.

Economic uncertainties and ongoing conflicts are worsening the condition in the region. For instance, countries such as Syria, Libya, and Yemen are suffering violent conflict and cannot implement any public health measures. Iran was in deep economic recession due to the US sanctions. Also, the major source of economic stabilization in Middle East countries is oil production and export. However, the recent pandemic is causing turbulence to the economies of the Middle East region. A sudden drop in domestic and external demand for goods and products, especially crude oil, and halted production due to labor shortage, are major impacts observed in the region. Though, countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are focusing on the adoption of advanced patient data technologies, the market in rest of the countries are expected to witness considerable decline due to lack of healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, tightened financial condition is also decreasing the economic activities in the region. Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused enormous health, social and economic impacts, which is likely to continue in 2021. Even after some of these impacts have been mitigated or contained, there will be medium- and longer-term consequences. With many healthcare institutions and laboratories under acute pressure, the market for patient registry software is expected to grow at a steady rate in the region.

The market for patient registry software market is segmented into software, database, type of registry, mode of delivery, and pricing model.
