Home Healthcare Market- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028
Global Home Healthcare Market is anticipated to witness impressive growth during the forecast period, 2024-2028.

People with chronic conditions along with those having difficulty in mobility, dependent children with severe health problems, and patients with mental disorders also require home healthcare. All these factors are expected to increase the demand for the home healthcare market in the coming years.
Rising Geriatric Population
The rising geriatric population across the globe supports market expansion. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) by 2030, one in every 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or above. In 2022, the aged people population increased to 1.4 billion which was 1 billion in 2020. By 2050, the world’s population of people aged 60 years or above will double. i.e., it will reach 2.1 billion and out of which 80 % of them will be living in developing countries.

Rise in Global burden of Non-Communicable Diseases
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 41 million people (equivalent to 74% of all deaths globally) die each year suffering from Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Among the Non- Communicable Diseases, Cardiovascular Diseases account for approximately 17.9 million deaths annually, followed by 9.3 million deaths caused due to Cancer. Chronic Respiratory Illness causes 4.1 million deaths and Diabetes causes 2 million deaths across the globe annually. Increased unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activities are major driving forces giving rise to non-communicable diseases. Investing in home healthcare settings for the management of NCDs plays a very significant role in the management of NCDs, as these diseases generally take a longer period for getting cured. Thus, the growing prevalence of NCDs, among the population around the globe makes patients more dependent on home healthcare now and then and thereby boosting the Global Home healthcare market growth.
Increased Focus on User-Centered Services
Home healthcare is experiencing a larger coverage as nursing and physiotherapy services for patients recovering from medical health conditions are being made available to people at their homes. Along with the homecare medical facilities trained healthcare personnel, nurses, caregivers, and physiotherapists are available to the patients at their homes. With the growing urban-centric life, more nuclear families are being established rather than joint families therefore the aged people usually are left with no one around to take care of them. Thus, in case of any injury or chronic illness, the aged population is left with the option of home healthcare service providers playing a significant role in helping them. Home healthcare is more in demand in the urban population preferably providing much assistance to the aged population among the nuclear families thereby creating a huge demand for the home healthcare market and thus driving the market growth in the future.
