Long-term Care Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Service (Home Healthcare, Hospice & Palliative Care, Nursing Care, Assisted Living Facilities), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global long-term care market size was valued at USD 991.6 billion in 2021 and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.55% during the forecast period. The long-term care (LTC) market is majorly driven by the rise in the global geriatric population. Moreover, an increase in life expectancy impels the need for LTC services. Unmet needs of the elderly are also a contributing factor to market growth. With the provision of personal care at home, unnecessary hospitalization is avoided thus preventing the patients from its high cost and from degrading quality of life.

More than 54% of the geriatric population is concentrated in only six countries-China, the U.S., India, Japan, Germany, and the Russian Federation. This has increased the pressure on the governments of these countries to provide them with care services. Governments of these countries are reforming their healthcare systems to provide the care needed by senior citizens at affordable prices. The U.S. government supports LTC for elders through Medicare and Medicaid systems. These factors are expected to fuel the growth of the LTC market during the forecast period.

The prevalence of chronic diseases is increasing at a significant pace. Along with general age-related disability, the elderly also suffer from chronic diseases such as cancer, heart problems, diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and mental stress. Hospitalization for chronic conditions can be expensive and entail unnecessary use of resources, which can be utilized by patients in critical conditions. LTC provides specialized care required by the elderly and increasing awareness about these centers as well as their advantages over hospitals is expected to impel market growth.
