Global long-term care market was valued at USD 983.33 billion in 2020. It is expected to grow at 7.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2021 and 2028. Long term care (LTC), which is expected to grow rapidly, will be fueled by the aging baby boomers, growing disabilities in the geriatric population and a shortage of skilled nursing staff. Due to the longer life expectancy, there have been more cases of disability. This will increase the need for affordable long-term care services for chronic diseases, memory loss, and post-hospital care.
COVID-19 has a significant impact on older people, particularly those who live in LTC facilities. It also has a substantial impact on morbidity and mortality. By improving disease control and counteraction, coordinated activity can help to reduce the impact of COVID-19. The pandemic had an impact on home healthcare products like temperature monitors and blood pressure monitors. These are vital for long-term care for chronic patients. The pandemic has made it more difficult to visit the clinic. Home nurses and other devices have been able to provide long-term care for the affected segments. The market growth was affected by a lack of home healthcare products. This led to higher prices and decreased supply.
Pandemic Impact |
Outlook after COVID |
Many long-term services were affected in different ways by the pandemic. The pandemic affected nursing homes the most due to the shortage of nurses and high demand. There were also restrictions on movement of the existing care providers. |
Home healthcare was a cost-effective option during the pandemic. Therefore, the demand for long term care services will increase in the forecast period. |
Both the revenue and products of the home healthcare industry are affected differently. COVID-19 had a positive effect on some home healthcare monitoring products such as temperature monitors and blood glucose monitors. There has been a shortage in home healthcare devices. |
Post-pandemic, long term care will be more in demand as patients and families are likely to opt out of hospitalization to reduce the risk of infection. Market growth will be supported by increased vaccinations and awareness of LTC as an affordable alternative. |
The three-year-old Nursing Now campaign by Burdett Trust for Nursing in the U.K. was launched in February 2018. It is being supported by the International Council of Nurses (WHO) and the International Council of Nurses (ICN). This global initiative aims to increase the visibility and status of nurses and allow them to make the most of their contributions to Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
In 2020, nursing care accounted for the largest revenue share at over 35.0%. This segment is driven by the large number of facilities that offer nursing care to the aging population. In 2020, home healthcare accounted for the second largest share. Home healthcare is growing because of rising demand for long-term, personalized care at home. It also offers cost-effectiveness and affordability. Home healthcare has become the preferred option for many patients with serious health issues. Healthcare providers are constantly looking for new technologies to enhance the quality of their long-term care services.
As the aging boomers age, they are shifting their preference away from nursing homes and towards home- or community-based care. Residents are often denied their freedom in nursing homes. The rising demand for long-term care services is also influenced by the high cost of hospitalization. Hospital stays are USD 2,000 per night, compared to USD 44 per day.
From 2021 to 2028, the hospice segment will experience the highest CAGR at 8.4%. Cicely Saunders International, the Commission into the Future of Hospice Care released a report in June 2013 that highlighted the current and future needs for hospice care. Demand for hospice is expected to rise due to the growing need for long-term care, particularly for those with dementia and Alzheimer's. In order to provide healthcare in different settings, hospice service providers are now collaborating with other providers. Kindred Healthcare, Inc. entered into a strategic clinical partnership with Genesis HealthCare, a leading provider of post-acute care. This collaboration aims to improve quality, outcomes, and transitions throughout the post-acute continuum. Kindred aims to be a leading provider of rehabilitation and long-term care post-acute in the United States, including hospice and other services.
LTC residents are vulnerable. Coronavirus-related deaths in LTC facilities account for between 30-50% of all COVID-19 death in Europe. To reduce the severity and spread of COVID-19 outbreaks, countries must implement both national and local testing.
North America was the dominant market, with a share exceeding 45.0% in 2020. This is due to the large geriatric population and greater government funding. Also, the implementation of a simplified regulatory framework. Medicaid accounts for approximately 60% of long-term care funding in the United States. To support long-term services, the Affordable Care Act created a separate system called Medicare Prospective Payment System.
Asia Pacific will experience a 8.3% CAGR between 2021 and 2028. This can be attributed to an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Long term care market is still in its infancy, but has great potential for growth. International long-term care homes are also investing in countries like India and Japan. In October 2013, for example, BAYADA Home Health Care, an American home healthcare company, bought 26% of India Home Health Care (IHHC) from the United States.
In India, startups in the home healthcare sector like HealthCare atHOME and Portea were successful. After that, major Indian hospital chains such as Apollo and Max entered the Indian home-care market. India is home to 65% of all hospital visits. Home-based services can easily be provided for acute care such as injury management, episode or recovery from surgery. This is a potential market for home and hospice care in India.
The market's key strategies include mergers and acquisitions as well as joint ventures, partnerships and new facility launches. Ventas, Inc., an investment trust in real estate, announced that it had acquired USD 1.8 Billion worth of portfolios of approximately 31 independent living communities through an equity partnership with Le Groupe Maurice.
Amedisys, Inc., the U.S.'s leading independent hospice, personal care, and home-health company, signed a deal to acquire Asana Hospice, a hospice care provider that serves around 540 patients per day in eight locations across Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Texas, Texas, Kansas.
Market contributors are increasing their ability to meet the growing demand for long-term geriatric care services. Brookdale, for example, invested USD 8,000,000 in its Florida senior living facility in May 2016.
