Market Dynamics

The report further states that the population in Asia and Latin America is aging rapidly. Therefore, demand for geriatric care services is projected to be high in Asia and Latin America during the forecast period (2016–2024).

Moreover, traditional family support system is weakening, owing to increase number of women in the workforce and increasing migration in search of employment. Therefore, there is a growing need for long-term care facilities for elderly population. Increasing elderly population is also compelling governments to adequately fund healthcare programs and elderly care services. This has further encouraged the establishment of many geriatric care service centers across the globe.

Aging increases the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiac disorders, arthritis, and respiratory disorders that require continuous monitoring. Also, aging decreases bone density that makes it a challenge for the geriatric population to continuously manage their medical needs and perform their daily activities. Hence, the need for geriatric care services arises, which to a great extent eases the life of the elderly population. Increasing need for continuous health assistance by the elderly population is driving demand for continuing care.

The global geriatric care services market was valued at US$ 599.6 billion in 2015 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period (2016 – 2024).
