U.S. Hospice Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. hospice market size is expected to reach USD 65.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.07% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growth can be attributed to the growing geriatric population and the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders amid this demographic. The rising demand for end-of-life care for chronic disorders, such as cancer, dementia, and cardiovascular disease, drives the growth of the industry. According to NHPCO statistics, in 2020, 1.72 million Medicare beneficiaries in the U.S. received hospice services for at least one day or more. Enrollment rate increased by around 6.8% from 2019.

The adoption of new technologies among providers is constantly growing. This includes bringing services to rural areas and demonstrating how technology is transforming the approach to care. Many service providers have begun to deploy technology such as telemedicine, predictive analytics, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. For instance, in March 2023, WorldView partnered with care coordinations to design a solution to transform home health & hospice care delivery by integrating automation and patient engagement.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market by affecting long-term projections and operational goals of the industry in the U.S. providers reported the lowest share of Medicare decedents enrolled for care since 2013, owing to the death rate outpacing the increase in enrollment rate. According to NHPCO data, in 2020, around 47.8% of Medicare decedents received hospice care in the U.S., much lower than around 51.6% in 2019. Currently, these centers are adopting advanced technologies due to patients refusing in-person visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is expected to drive market growth post-pandemic.
