Report Overview

The India home healthcare market size was valued at USD 8.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.29% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing need for better quality postoperative & primary care, advancement in technologies, rising disposable income, the shift of trend from communicable to lifestyle diseases, and the increasing availability of improved home care services with the technology-enabled platform are expected to drive the market growth. The growing geriatric population & dependency ratio in India is expected to drive the demand for home healthcare. According to the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, the aging population of India is expected to reach 298 million by 2051, accounting for 17% of the national population. With the introduction of advanced home healthcare services in the country, high-quality healthcare can now be delivered in the comfort of one's own home.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly, combined with the need for better primary and postoperative care, is expected to drive the country's home care services market.

Such a population necessitates the use of nursing homes, hospices, and home healthcare services.

With the help of home healthcare services, patients can save 10% to 25% on their overall medical treatment costs. Modern networking has enabled physicians to access patient data from remote locations and provide immediate consultation. For Instance, staying in an ICU in a hospital can cost between USD 450 and USD 650 per day, whereas setting up an ICU facility at home with equipment and medical expertise can cost between USD 95 and USD 125 per day.

Equipment Insights

The therapeutic equipment segment held the largest market share of 42.57% in 2022. In the therapeutic segment, home respiratory equipment had the largest share. Home respiratory therapy equipment is used to treat and assess cardiopulmonary disorders like bronchitis, asthma, COPD, and others. C-PAP, Bi-PAP, ventilators, and nebulizers are examples of the equipment. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as COPD is expected to drive the home respiratory therapy equipment market.

The diagnostic equipment segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 20.27% during the forecast period. The diagnostic equipment segment is expected to grow due to technologically advanced products that enable accurate and timely diagnosis, such as strapless heart rate monitors, iPhone heart-rate monitors, and TQR heart rate watches. Furthermore, rising patient awareness and health consciousness are expected to drive segment growth. Diabetic care units & blood pressure monitors are getting increased attention owing to changing lifestyles such as tobacco, alcohol, physical inactivity, and high salt intake all contributing to severe chronic problems.

Basic mobility is provided by mobility assistive equipment. Wheelchairs had the highest market share in the mobility assistive equipment segment. The rising incidence of mobility impairments, trauma, or disabilities, as well as the aging population and the introduction of technologically advanced products, are driving the demand for wheelchairs.

Service Insights

The skilled home healthcare segment accounted for the highest market share of 87.70% in 2022 and is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 19.21% during the forecast period owing to the increased incidence of lifestyle diseases and the growing demand for high-quality, low-cost care. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases in India has increased the demand for home-bound patients recovering from an acute injury or illness to receive continuous and coordinated care

Physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy accounted for the highest share in the skilled home care segment. These services assist patients in regaining physical, mental, and cognitive abilities aiming at improving patients' quality of life and helping them live a normal or near-normal life. These services are widely used because they improve patient compliance and medication adherence, reduce relapse, and increase attendance and support. All of these factors can be attributed to this segment's significant market share.

Unskilled home care services include grooming, bathing, dressing, personal care, and other daily living aids at home. It also involves homemaker tasks such as laundry, dinner preparation, and house cleaning. These services are expanding rapidly as they fill gaps and satisfy unmet needs that are not met by skilled care. Furthermore, increased disposable income and the growing need for tailored treatment are expected to contribute to segment growth.
