Preventive healthcare awareness is growing as a result of a variety of factors, including rising disposable incomes, improved living standards, and the aging population. The easy availability of information about preventive healthcare on the internet is also helping to raise awareness. These factors are expected to contribute to the overall growth of the industry.
