Business-to-business e-commerce in the US healthcare sector will rise dramatically from $6 billion in 1999 to an estimated $348 billion by 2004, according to Forrester Research, a market research company that analyses the impact of technology change. And this may even underestimate the size of the market - a report prepared by US bancorp Piper Jaffray values healthcare e-commerce at more than three times the Forrester forecast - $1 trillion by 2003.
