The ambulatory health care services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.34 billion in 2023 to $3.57 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including shifts in demographics, changes in healthcare policies, evolving consumer preferences, efforts to contain costs in the healthcare sector, and the adoption of collaborative care models. These factors have collectively influenced the development and expansion of ambulatory healthcare services.

The ambulatory health care services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.73 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the transition to value-based care models, the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare practices, the expansion of telehealth services, a focus on patient empowerment, and the adoption of population health management strategies. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the promotion of patient-centric care, the utilization of data analytics and health information technology, the continued emphasis on value-based care approaches, the growth of outpatient procedures, the proliferation of remote monitoring and wearable devices, and the evolution toward patient-centric care delivery models.

The burgeoning prevalence of both communicable and non-communicable diseases on a global scale stands as a catalyst poised to drive the expansion of the ambulatory healthcare service market. Communicable diseases, transmitted from person to person, and non-communicable diseases, often influenced by unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles, are demanding immediate emergency care for treatment. This surge in patient requirements fuels the escalating demand for ambulatory healthcare services. For instance, data from the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that non-communicable diseases account for 74% of global deaths, amounting to 41 million fatalities annually. Additionally, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), communicable diseases such as Hepatitis B affect a substantial number, afflicting approximately 296 million individuals, resulting in over 820,000 deaths yearly. Hence, the increasing prevalence of both communicable and non-communicable diseases serves as a primary driver propelling the growth trajectory of the ambulatory healthcare service market.

The upward trajectory of the aging population is anticipated to act as a significant driver for the expansion of ambulatory healthcare services. The demographic shift toward an aging population signifies a rise in the proportion of elderly individuals within societies globally. Ambulatory healthcare services play a crucial role in offering accessible and comprehensive healthcare, supporting preventive and chronic care needs, and empowering older individuals to sustain independence in their communities. As projected by the World Health Organization, by the year 2030, approximately one out of every six individuals globally will be 60 years or older. This demographic shift indicates an increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion individuals aged 60 and over. By 2050, this segment is estimated to double, reaching 2.1 billion globally. This demographic shift towards an older population significantly propels the demand for ambulatory healthcare services to cater to their unique healthcare needs, thereby driving market growth.

Technological advancements emerge as a crucial trend shaping the landscape of ambulatory healthcare services. Key industry players are introducing cutting-edge ambulatory solutions to fortify their market position.
