The Palliative
Care market trends is expected to reach USD 10.815 Billion by 2030 at 7.90%
CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030. Palliative care is a
multidisciplinary approach focused on providing relief to patients and their
families suffering from terminal illness. Demographic, epidemiological
transitions and changes in lifestyle have raised the incidence of cancer and
other life-threatening or fatal diseases such as cancer, congestive heath
failure, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s and others. In case of such diseases,
control of pain, of other symptoms and psychological, social and emotional
challenges is of paramount importance where palliative care aims to provide the
highest quality of life possible to such patients. Palliative care also extends
to bereavement, if necessary. The global palliative care market is
expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period of 2018-2023,
affirms Market Research Future (MRFR) in an in-depth study.
The need for a systematic and comprehensive approach to
cater to all the specific needs at the last stage of a patients’ life has led
to the massive popularity of palliative care, especially in the developed
countries. Various non-profit organizations are initiating towards reducing the
burden of diseases among below-average and average income population which has
further raised demand within the global palliative care market.
Palliative care is gaining widespread acceptance as an
alternative method to curative care by patients who are at the end of their
life. Growing aging population has positively influenced the growth of the market.
Supporting factors include a shift in preference towards non-acute care and the
economic advantages associated with palliative care. Palliative care involves
shifting patients from a high-cost setting to a lower cost setting which
ultimately leads to cost avoidance. Moreover, there is a steep surge in the
awareness regarding the benefits associated with palliative care among the
families of patients which continue to drive the market ahead.
Palliative care has witnessed a dramatic increase in certain
fields such as oncology, and surging prevalence of cancer has been a plus for
the growth of the market. Moreover, oncology disorders among children growing
at an incremental rate have raised the requirement for palliative care as they
are more likely to face disruption in their life.
The recent years have witnessed a significant rise in the
number of palliative care consultation team in hospitals and other healthcare
institutes which triggered growth within the market. The global palliative care
market is expected to find growth opportunities as palliative care is estimated
to penetrate other fields such as neurology, nephrology, and surgery.
On the other hand, the increasing gap between the available
service and identified needs, especially in developing countries are
restricting the growth of the market. Misuse of funding and lack of awareness
are other bottlenecks to market growth.
