The global hospitals and outpatient care centers market is expected to decline from $3831.9 billion in 2019 to $3525.9 billion in 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -8%. The decline is mainly due to the COVID-19 outbreak and extending lockdown as a measure to contain it. The shutdown of nonessential medical care services as recommended by state and national officials, as a measure to contain the virus spread resulted in financial crises for hospitals, outpatient care centers, and other private clinics. The market is then expected to recover and grow at a CAGR of 8% from 2021 and reach $5401.9 billion in 2023.
