Dublin, Oct. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "AI Virtual Assistants in Healthcare Market Outlook 2026-2035" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global AI virtual assistant in healthcare market is projected to experience substantial growth over the next decade, driven by increasing workforce pressures and the healthcare sector's need for greater operational efficiency. According to the report, the market is valued at USD 1.21 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 22.26 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 33.77% during the forecast period.
Market momentum is expected to accelerate in the near term, with the global industry size projected to reach USD 1.62 billion in 2026. This anticipated expansion reflects growing interest in AI virtual assistant solutions among healthcare providers seeking to strengthen patient engagement, optimize administrative workflows and support clinical teams.
A persistent shortage of skilled healthcare workers is emerging as a major factor influencing adoption. Hospitals, clinics and other healthcare organizations continue to face staffing constraints while managing increasing patient volumes and complex operational requirements. AI virtual assistants can support healthcare teams by handling routine interactions, coordinating appointments, responding to common patient inquiries and assisting with selected administrative processes. Their use can allow professionals to focus more attention on activities requiring clinical expertise and direct patient care.
The growing emphasis on digital healthcare services is also contributing to market development. Healthcare organizations are evaluating technologies that can improve accessibility, responsiveness and continuity across patient communication channels. AI virtual assistants can provide scalable support for digital engagement strategies, helping organizations manage higher interaction volumes while maintaining consistent service availability.
Advances in artificial intelligence, natural language processing and healthcare data integration are expected to further enhance the capabilities of virtual assistant platforms. As these technologies mature, solutions may become more effective at supporting personalized communication, managing workflow tasks and delivering timely information within established healthcare systems. Continued innovation is likely to increase the relevance of AI virtual assistants across a broader range of healthcare environments.
Adoption decisions will remain closely connected to data privacy, security, regulatory compliance and system interoperability. Healthcare organizations must assess how virtual assistant technologies integrate with existing infrastructure and align with applicable requirements for managing sensitive patient information. Vendors that prioritize secure deployment, reliable performance and effective integration are likely to be well positioned as demand increases.
The report indicates that the strong market outlook is supported by the convergence of workforce shortages, digital transformation and the need for scalable patient support. Investment in AI virtual assistant technology is expected to rise as healthcare providers pursue solutions that can reduce administrative pressure, improve service delivery and strengthen organizational capacity.
With the market forecast to increase from USD 1.21 billion in 2025 to USD 22.26 billion by 2035, AI virtual assistants are expected to become an increasingly important component of healthcare technology strategies. The projected 33.77% CAGR highlights the pace at which healthcare organizations may adopt intelligent automation to address operational challenges and evolving patient expectations.
