The increasing prevalence of acute and chronic conditions, growing number of aging population, adoption of digital tools in these services, and increasing healthcare expenditure are resulting in a growing adoption of these services in the market. The increasing initiatives among governmental organizations to promote these services are further augmenting the market growth.

• For instance, according to 2024 data published by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), about 1 in 20 adults were affected by coronary artery disease in the U.S.

Furthermore, the growing focus on the provision of novel services among the major healthcare providers, including Brookdale Senior Living Inc., Sunrise Senior Living, and others, is further contributing to the growing demand for these services.

Geriatric Care Services Market Trends

Increasing Adoption of Connected Care Platforms Enhances Services Adoption

The growing adoption of telecare, remote patient monitoring, and connected-care platforms among healthcare providers supports ageing in place, improves chronic-disease management, and reduces dependence on facility-based care. These solutions combine glucose meters, connected blood-pressure monitors, weighing scales, pulse oximeters, wearable devices, fall-detection sensors, video consultations, cloud-based care-management platforms, and others, further improving the delivery of such services among patients. By continuously or periodically transmitting health and safety information, these platforms enable care professionals to monitor the older adult population between scheduled visits and identify signs of clinical or functional deterioration at an earlier stage.

• For instance, according to 2023 statistics published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), about 2.8 teleconsultations were conducted per patient per year in Israel.

Increasing Geriatric Population to Drive Market Growth

The growing geriatric population is expected to increase the number of patient visits in healthcare facilities for various applications, including dementia & cognitive impairment care, chronic disease & multimorbidity management, and others, thus augmenting the market growth.

• For instance, according to 2023 data published by the Government of China, approximately 297 million people were aged 60 and above in China.

This, along with growing healthcare expenditure and expansion of healthcare facilities, is also driving the adoption of such services in the market. Moreover, growing focus of service providers on offering novel services, is further expected to contribute to the geriatric care services market growth.

Market Restraints

Limited Number of Healthcare Professionals to Restrict Market Growth

The shortage of qualified geriatric and long-term-care professionals represents one of the key restraints for market growth. Geriatric care is highly labor-intensive and depends on a sufficient supply of healthcare professionals, including nurses, personal-care workers, home-care aides, occupational therapists, and other professionals. However, workforce supply is not expanding at the same speed as the aging population and associated care needs. An inadequate number of healthcare professionals is hampering the volume of geriatric care that providers are able to deliver, resulting in a decline in new client admissions, further impacting market growth globally.

• For instance, according to the 2025 data published by Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), it was reported that the average number of long-term care workers remained stable at 5 per 100 people aged 65 and over between 2013 and 2023 among the 31 OECD countries.

Market Opportunities

Expansion of Healthcare Infrastructure to Create Lucrative Opportunities

The growing expansion of home- and community-based aging care represents a key opportunity for the global market. There is an increasing preference toward home settings and communities over institutional or residential care. Additionally, increasing healthcare expenditure among emerging countries is also increasing the provision of lucrative solutions to cater to the growing demand among the patient population.  Along with this, increasing focus on care models that can preserve independence, reduce unnecessary institutionalization, and provide long-term support closer to patients' usual living environments among governmental organizations and healthcare facilities are creating major opportunities for key home-healthcare agencies, adult day care centers, and technology-enabled companies.

• According to 2024 data published by the International Trade Administration (ITA), healthcare expenditure is USD 135.0 billion in Brazil.

Market Challenges

Limited Healthcare Access in Developing Countries to Hinder Market Growth

There is an increasing demand for novel geriatric care services, including disease management and others, among the aging population. However, limited healthcare access in developing countries remains a major challenge for the global market. The lack of well-developed home-healthcare facilities, adult-day care centers, trained long-term care workers, and adequate insurance coverage is resulting in delayed patient visits for various other critical conditions, thereby limiting the adoption of these services in the market.

• For instance, according to 2023 data published by The World Bank Group (WBG), approximately 4.5 billion people lack full access to important healthcare services globally.

Report Scope & Segmentation

Research Methodology

1. Bottom-Up Approaches

Approach 1: Revenues and Market Share of Major Geriatric Care Providers

• Collect geriatric-care-specific revenue from annual reports, SEC filings, investor presentations, earnings releases and company disclosures.
• Identify revenue attributable to skilled nursing, residential care, assisted living, memory care, home health, personal care, hospice, rehabilitation and other in-scope services.
• Assess facility count, beds/units, occupancy, home-care census, locations and geographic presence.
• Remove unrelated pharmacy, products, general hospital activity, real estate and non-care senior-living revenue where separable.
• Estimate provider shares and reconcile reported revenue growth with market utilization and country demand indicators.

Approach 2: Service-Level Capacity, Utilization and Pricing Analysis 

• Estimate nursing/residential beds, assisted-living units, adult day capacity, home-care users and service hours/visits.
• Apply occupancy, utilization, average visits/hours, average length of stay and client census assumptions.
• Estimate revenue per occupied bed/resident, home-care client/hour/visit and adult day-care participant.
• Build country service-type values from capacity x utilization x realized service revenue.
• Cross-check against provider revenue, reimbursement schedules, and national long-term-care expenditure.

Approach 3: Demographic and Eligible-Older-Population Model

• Estimate the population aged 65+ and the faster-growing 80+/85+ cohort by country.
• Apply dependency, frailty, dementia, disability, and chronic-multimorbidity indicators to estimate care need.
• Separate formal paid-care penetration from unpaid informal/family care.
• Apply utilization by home, residential/institutional, adult day and other formal services.
• Multiply service users by modeled annual revenue per user and aggregate country estimates to regions and the global market.

2. Top Down Approaches

Approach 1: Country-Level Long-Term Care and Geriatric Care Spending Analysis

• Start from official long-term-care, social-care, home-care, and elderly-care expenditure where available.
• Separate health-related LTC and social-care components and remove non-geriatric or non-commercial items that fall outside scope.
• Assess public/private/out-of-pocket financing mix, reimbursement and benefit eligibility.
• Use expenditure per older person and care-recipient intensity as a cross-country plausibility check.
• Scale cautiously in countries with high informal-care reliance or weak formal capacity.

Approach 2: Payer-Side Expenditure and Reimbursement Analysis

• Estimate public/government spending, private insurance benefits, household out-of-pocket payments, and other qualifying funding.
• Map public program expenditure to the report service scope, avoiding transfer payments that are not payment for delivered care.
• Use payer-specific service mix and beneficiary utilization to estimate country demand.
• Cross-check provider revenue with payer expenditure so provider and payer views reconcile to the same market total.
• Apply country-specific reimbursement changes, co-pay rules and rate trends in the forecast.

3. List of Key Sources

• Company annual reports, SEC/stock-exchange filings, investor presentations, earnings releases, sustainability reports, company websites and facility/service portfolios.
