Outpatient Rehabilitation Centers Market Growth & Trends

The global outpatient rehabilitation centers market size is expected to reach USD 147.4 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.09%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for effective rehabilitation services for disabilities, drug/alcohol addiction, physical injuries, mental health, and others is expected to propel the growth of the industry during the forecast period. The cost-effective treatment compared to the inpatient rehabilitation services is expected to propel the demand for outpatient rehabilitation during the forecast period. The standard inpatient rehabilitation treatment in Canada costs around USD 10,000 to USD 20,000 per month, which is much greater compared to the USD 2,000 to USD 5,000 per month for intensive outpatient programs.

Moreover, rising government initiatives for outpatient rehabilitation centers are expected to boost the growth of the industry during the forecast period. The National Health Service (NHS) in the U.K. offers free outpatient rehabilitation treatments through community-based organizations and local health authorities. These are majorly done at the drop-in day facilities. A rise in the number of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, and a rise in the number of alcohol/drug addiction cases globally are expected to drive the growth of the industry. Companies are adopting various technologies to provide advanced services to patients. For instance, in April 2020, Kolmac Outpatient Recovery Centers launched new virtual services equipped with HIPPA-secure technology for its Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the industry during the first wave. The market stabilized during the second and third waves. For instance, as per the article published in ScienceDirect, in Japan, the number of patients opting for outpatient rehabilitation services decreased during the first wave of the pandemic. During the second and third waves of the pandemic, the number returned to the pre-pandemic levels, which remain constant throughout the pandemic period despite the emergency declaration in Japan. Moreover, the adoption of telehealth supported the resumption of outpatient rehabilitation activities and an increase in visits to outpatient rehabilitation services.
