Key Pointers

• The equipment segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR of 8.84% over the forecast period. The segment is further segmented into therapeutic, diagnostic, and mobility assistance. The therapeutic segment is expected to hold the largest revenue share over the forecast period due to the rising prevalence of diseases that require frequent usage.
• Diagnostics accounted for the largest market share of the overall home healthcare equipment market in 2022 and is expected to gain a lucrative share over the forecast period, owing to the increasing prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary diseases, growing patient awareness, increasing prevalence of long-term illnesses requiring frequent diagnosis, and high adoption of BP monitors and pregnancy and fertility tests.
• The services segment dominated the market and captured the largest revenue share of 84.36% in 2022.
• The market by services is segmented into skilled home care and unskilled home care. Skilled home healthcare services dominated the market in 2022 due to rising medical expenditures associated with hospital stays.
• North America dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 42.77% in 2022. The presence of a large geriatric population in this region coupled with sophisticated healthcare infrastructure and relatively higher disposable income levels are some of the key factors. 
• The Asia Pacific market is expected to register the fastest growth with a CAGR of 8.98% during the forecast period. Factors such as underdeveloped healthcare infrastructure, expensive in-hospital healthcare facilities, and chronic diseases that require long-term care are resulting in an increase in home healthcare products and services.

Report Scope of the Home Healthcare Market

The growing geriatric population and rising incidence of target diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s as well as orthopedic diseases are factors expected to fuel market growth. Increasing treatment cost is one of the prime concerns for governments and health organizations, and hence they are striving to curb healthcare costs. Home healthcare is a cost-efficient alternative to an expensive hospital stay.

For instance, as per a report by The Commonwealth Fund, “hospital at home” programs enable patients to receive acute care at home with fewer complications and over 30% reduction in the cost of care. This helps ensure patient comfort and is projected to serve as a high impact rendering driver of the market. Advancements in medicine have led to a shift from communicable to noncommunicable diseases in developing countries. Sedentary lifestyle and high consumption of alcohol are factors responsible for increase in the prevalence of lifestyle diseases. Growing incidence of target diseases requiring long-term care, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Furthermore, awareness about home care services and devices for such conditions is increasing. Availability of portable devices such as heart rate monitors, respiratory aids, and blood glucose monitors has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of home care for lifestyle diseases. Value-based healthcare is another major factor contributing to the market. In most of the developed and developing nations, the central government is offering either partial or complete coverage for the in-home services. In the U.S., Medicare reimbursements are highly favorable in providing value-based healthcare for improved patient outcomes at a low cost. Thus, in-home care has become a modality of choice for treatment.

The advent of advanced home healthcare services in the country has enabled the delivery of high-quality healthcare in the comfort of one’s home. Moreover, patients can save 10% to 25% from their overall medical treatment costs by opting for home healthcare services. Modern-age networking has provided physicians with access to patient data from remote locations and the ability to provide immediate consultation.
