Ambulatory Care Services Market Size Worth USD 4.43 Billion By 2025 | CAGR: 10.3%

The global ambulatory care services market is expected to grow at growth rate of 10.3% to reach USD 4.43 billion by 2025.

Acute disease conditions are largely being addressed with currently available therapeutics and surgical interventions; however, chronic diseases are on the rise. To address this, focus on outpatient services has increased over the past few years. Advancement in technologies has enabled to do many tests and surgeries in freestanding clinics or centres which were formally done as inpatient procedures. Increasing number of free standing ambulatory care centers specifically designed for urology, birth, urgent care, eye treatment etc. will support the industry growth to great extent. Ambulatory care services examples are observation, consultation, diagnosis, treatment, intervention and rehabilitation services.

The industry growth is majorly driven by its low cost services compared to inpatient care. It is estimated that a procedure performed in an outpatient surgery centre costs 30-60% less than the identical surgery performed in an inpatient hospital setting. Convenience is the second most important factor in the rise of ambulatory care demand. Many patients find it less stressful and more convenient to recover at home rather than in some physician offices. Advancements in microsurgery have made it safe for several procedures to be done as day surgery that once required a hospital stay. Further, advancements such as telehealth treatment options and e-visits are an important component of ambulatory care. On contrary, complex reimbursement schemes, a shift to a bundled payment rate system and rising acquisitions of the centres by hospital settings hamper the industry growth.
