• The market for services for the elderly and persons with disabilities is projected to witness robust growth in the coming years. The market is expected to reach $645.71 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%.
The anticipated growth within this forecast period can be linked to the increasing accessibility to healthcare, preference for community living, swift growth in the aging population, shifts in lifestyles, and rising household incomes. Key trends that will dominate the future of the market include, the use of electronic technology in monitoring home health care services, development of customized services for the distinct health needs of senior citizens, leveraging artificial intelligence, using robots for the seamless transition of care facilities to elderly patients, investing in technology for efficient patient data tracking and high-quality service provision to the elderly, offering integrated care services to increase their service variety and attract more clientele, and the emphasis on virtually providing services in response to the changing circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The services for the elderly and people with disabilities market is expected to witness expansion, fuelled by two key factors: the dwindling household size and the swift rise in the population of senior citizens. The diminution in family sizes is primarily attributed to fewer people cohabiting as a family. For example, data from the Public Policy Institute of California, a U.S-based non-profit body, revealed in November 2022 that there was a marked decline in the average family size at the onset of the pandemic, hitting a low of 2.85 in 2021. This trend proceeded, further decreasing by 1.4% to 2.81 in 2022. Concurrently, the increase in aged populace is driving a surge in demand for elderly care services, contributing to the market's revenue growth. As per a report by the Switzerland-based World Health Organization (WHO) released in October 2022, it is forecasted that by 2030, one out of every six people globally will be aged 60 or over. By 2050, the global populace of 60 years or older individuals will rise to 2.1 billion. Furthermore, from 2020 to 2050, the population of individuals aged 80 and over will escalate by 426 million compared to the present demographics. Such a growing demand for elderly care boosts the need for services for the elderly and the disabled, thereby bolstering the growth of the market catering to such needs.
