The factors responsible for the market growth are the various benefits of EHR, such as storing patients’ medical history & data, diagnosis, immunization dates, laboratory test results, etc., on a digital platform. Further, overcoming healthcare challenges such as concerns about keeping patients' earlier medical records on paper have propelled the demand for electronic health records in healthcare units such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories, etc., to support the better treatment of patients in the future.

Moreover, the aging population in countries like Brazil, Mexico, and Chile, in combination with various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, has caused a significant increase in demand for modernized healthcare platforms. Additionally, the digitization of patients' medical records, along with the implementation of health information systems to store bulk data generated in the region, resulted in the rising electronic health market.

Furthermore, the rising regulations by the governments of Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, etc., as well as a large number of investments to support the digitalization of healthcare units, are further expected to drive the market of electronic health records in Latin America during the forecast period. For instance, in 2021, the Government of Colombia made a regulation for the adoption of electronic health records, which would store patients’ medical history such as pathologies, surgeries performed, treatments, etc.
