In the overall global market, North America is expected to continue its lead position in terms of revenue generation till 2018 with a share of 51.9% of the global market followed by Europe at 30.9%.
Among the different market segments, custom content publishing segment is estimated to hold maximum share with 57% market share in the total general medicine market. The reason for its high share is the price of publishing custom content material, which is quite high as compared to any other publishing. This is followed by the market for online reference tools such as WebMD (Medscape), MDconsult, Micromedex among many others. Most popular online reference platforms have dedicated subscriptions, which have thus accounted for steady revenue generation. E-books and printed textbooks & reference books account for the third largest share in the general medicine education market.
The major drivers of the market include increase in online education, growth of e-books and need of primary healthcare. Primary healthcare is delivered by specialists in general medicine or internal medicine and are called Internists. The major factors restraining the market are the low adoption rate of online education in developing regions of the world, since a large fraction of population is not exposed to modern technology added to the decreasing number of students opting for medical specializations that brings a higher income.
General Medicine or internal medicine is a branch of medicine which deals with the prevention, diagnosis and subsequent treatment of adult diseases. The specialists who deal with this branch of medicine are called “internists” and ones who work with children are called pediatricians. General Medicine is further specialized depending on the organ or organ systems, such as cardiology, anesthesiology, endocrinology, nephrology etc. On an average 75,000 medical students choose internal medicine as a career option annually around the world.

It is estimated that in the Asian and developing European regions along with RoW, more than half of the people do not have access to internet as a source of education in their homes. This severely undermines the quality of education. Printed books and literature are thus the major tools of spreading education here.
