Medical Recruitment Market Size & Trends
The global medical recruitment market size is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.33% from 2024 to 2030. A rising shortage of healthcare professionals in the healthcare sector is leading to an increased need for medical recruitment services. The increasing global demand for healthcare services, driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, is increasing demand for more healthcare professionals.
Factors such as the increasing global demand for healthcare professionals, the proliferation of healthcare services, and the establishment of super-specialty and multi-specialty hospitals are poised to drive market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in June 2021, Park Group of Hospitals underwent significant expansion, becoming one of North India's fastest-growing privately-owned chains of super-specialty hospitals, offering advanced care, including cancer treatment and tertiary-level healthcare. This expansion has attracted patients seeking state-of-the-art medical interventions and care for a wide range of health conditions.
In addition, according to the survey conducted by Clinician of the Future, healthcare professions are projected to experience significant growth rate of 16%, surpassing the average growth rate for all occupations. Additionally, there will be a growing demand for nurse practitioners, physical therapy assistants, and physician assistants. However, 47% of healthcare workers are planning to depart from their roles by 2025. These factors are expected to boost demand for medical recruitment during the forecast period.
