Home Healthcare Market (2009-2014)

Abstract

Report Description

Home healthcare, also referred to as formal or skilled care, is the support and care service that healthcare professionals provide at the patient' s own home. These care services include respiratory therapy, home infusion therapy, home medication, skilled nursing or medical care. The global home care and self care market is the aggregate of the markets for home healthcare equipment and home healthcare services.

The most important trend in healthcare witnessed in the recent times has been a shift of patient' s focus from hospitals to home care. The move from treatment to proactive monitoring has opened up new opportunities in the home healthcare market. Patients prefer home healthcare over hospitals mainly for the latter' s cost and convenience benefits; and are thus increasingly opting for third-party medical professionals and care-givers.

The home healthcare market generates approximately 70% of revenues from the people aged 65 years and above; mainly because of the declining ‘elderly support ratio' , or the ratio of the number of people caring for the elderly, to the number of older people above 65 years. This factor highlights the growth potential of the market for third-party care in the coming years.
