U.S. Home Healthcare Services Market Worth $175.7 Billion By 2028

U.S. Home Healthcare Services Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. home healthcare services market size is expected to reach USD 175.7 billion by 2028, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2021 to 2028. Factors such as high demand for cost-effective healthcare services, increasing medical expenditure, and high prevalence of chronic diseases are expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Patients are choosing to recover at home instead of an inpatient facility, due to more comfort and reduced healthcare costs, which has led to demand for skilled medical home healthcare services in the market. However, the growth was partially offset by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, during the pandemic, many home health providers incurred economic losses and patients refrained from opting for help due to the risk of infection, negatively affecting the market.

The U.S. market for home healthcare services is highly fragmented with the presence of a few major players and a large number of small and medium-sized care providers. Although the care organizations of all sizes are facing a shortage of skilled labor, certain aspects such as the phase-out of Requests for Anticipated Payment (RAPs) and adoption of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) are benefiting the large players. Apart from policies, the adoption of mergers and acquisitions strategies by providers and procuring funds from investing firms are contributing to strengthening their market position.
