Physician groups are organizations where two or more than two physicians work and care is delivered to patients to enhance healthcare outcomes. Due to the rising healthcare expenditure and availability of favorable reimbursement policies, patients are anticipated to adopt earlier treatment for different chronic ailments, which is poised to bolster the demand for different groups of physicians to serve the large patient pool.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly influenced the market in 2020. The market observed a problem in growth in 2020 due to the decline in revenue and number of patients and growth in expenses pertaining to COVID-19. However, the market witnessed normalcy during the post-pandemic scenario due to the gradual opening of hospitals & clinics and growth in adoption of telehealth services by physicians after the relaxation in pandemic regulations.
