The per diem nurse staffing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size for per diem nurse staffing has seen robust growth. The market is projected to expand from $8.92 billion in 2024 to $9.42 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%.
Factors such as varying patient numbers, seasonal shifts in demand, the need for specialized skills, gaps and shortages in staffing, and temporary patient care needs have driven the growth in the historical period.
The per diem nurse staffing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of the per diem nurse staffing industry is forecasted to experience significant expansion in the forthcoming years. Its growth is projected to reach $11.82 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.
The surge predicted during this time frame is due to a focus on building resilience in healthcare, readiness for potential pandemics, growth in telehealth, a transition to home-based treatments, and managing population health. Key trends observed for the forecast period encompass the adaptation of staffing models, incorporation of technology in staffing platforms, growth in specialized per diem nursing, and strategic workforce preparation.
The rising need for healthcare facilities is predicted to fuel the expansion of the per diem nurse staffing sector. Healthcare facilities, which consist of hospitals, clinics, and outpatient care centres, serve a wider community, extending care services to individuals and families. There is an ongoing demand for healthcare workers, including nurses, due to the surge in demand for healthcare facilities. Per diem nurse staffing offers flexible alternatives that enable these facilities to fulfil this need, maintain cost-effectiveness, and ensure superior patient care. For example, a report by the American Hospital Association (AHA) in May 2023 indicated a rise in the total number of hospitals, with 6,129 coming up from 6,093 in 2022. Additionally, the total admissions in all U.S. hospitals saw an uptick, totaling 34,011,386, as opposed to 33,356,853 in 2022. The burgeoning need for healthcare facilities will, therefore, drive the per diem nurse staffing market. On the other hand, the increasing requirement for experienced healthcare personnel is also expected to push forward the expansion of the per-diem nurse staffing sector. These healthcare professionals are those that have undergone specific training and education in providing healthcare services. Having skilled healthcare personnel in the per diem nurse staffing sector ensures not only the delivery of superior care but also the agility to tackle the problems raised by the changing staffing requirements in the healthcare industry. As per a report by the UK's Department of Health and Social Care in May 2023, there were over 1.2 million full-time equivalent staff in NHS Trusts in England that year, showing an increase of 53,600 people or about 4.4% increase from the previous year. Hence, the climbing need for experienced healthcare personnel will certainly drive the per-diem nurse staffing sector.
