Home healthcare services allow people to stay in their homes rather than use institutional-based healthcare services. The rising incidence of chronic diseases all around the world due to an unhealthy lifestyle and dietary patterns is the major driver of the global home healthcare services market. According to the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF), around 463 million adults (20-70 years) had diabetes in 2019 which is projected to rise to 700 million by 2045, with a rising proportion of people with Type 2 diabetes.

Patients suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) require long-term treatment. With the cost of hospital visits and stays has been surging at a fast pace, people are increasingly opting for home healthcare services.
Furthermore, a key factor responsible for the growth in the demand for these services is the steep rise in the elderly population across the globe.

For instance, according to the United Nations data of World Population Prospects for 2019, the number of people over the age of 65 would increase from 9% in 2019 to more than 16% of the total world's population by 2050. Since old people demand more patient-centric healthcare services, this continuous rise in the aging population is anticipated to drive the market growth of home healthcare services throughout the forecast period.
