Global ambulatory services market is expected to reach USD 3,428.5 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc. The market is driven by increasing aging population, ease-in-access and flexible timings, government initiatives to integrate acute and primary healthcare, and growing treatment costs.
Aging population and increasing life expectancy have transformed the healthcare needs to provide services for existing co-morbidities, disabilities, and frailties. For providing accessible services to patients, there is an increasing demand for outpatient services, which help in cutting down on the long wait times in hospitals.
The healthcare budgetary pressure on the government is also expected to decrease by providing efficient outpatient/ambulatory services.
