Home Care Providers in Canada - Market Size, Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecasts (2024-2029)

In good hands: Rising wages and low productivity growth will hurt industry profit

The Home Care Providers industry in Canada has grown, with a multitude of diverse companies offering services to growing healthcare markets. Operators cater largely to the elderly population, which is growing at a rate exceeding the national population growth rate, and to individuals suffering from chronic illnesses and disabilities. As operators have expanded their service offerings, they have become an attractive alternative to institutionalized healthcare settings, such as hospitals and rehabilitative centres, which are generally less personal and more expensive. Consequently, industry revenue is projected to have increased at a CAGR of 5.5% to reach $7.1 billion in 2023, when revenue is set to grow 2.6% with COVID-19 pandemic disruptions to industry operations having receded.

The industry primarily provides skilled nursing services in the home, combined with a range of other home services such as personal care services, homemaker and companion services, physical therapy, medical social services, dietary and nutritional services, speech therapy, audiology, medications and intravenous therapy. While most home care services are provided by publicly managed agencies, only those services delivered by private operators are counted in this industry.
