The rising prevalence of chronic diseases among the working population is anticipated to drive the growth of the occupational medicines market in the future. A chronic disease is a health condition characterized by long-lasting symptoms that persist for at least a year, requiring ongoing medical care and often limiting daily activities. Occupational medicine addresses chronic diseases in the workplace by providing specialized medical care for job-related issues and working alongside employers, employees, regulators, insurers, public health officials, and other occupational safety and health professionals to enhance workplace safety. For instance, in June 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australia-based government agency, reported an increase in chronic condition-related fatalities from 459 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021 to 490 deaths per 100,000 people in 2022. Thus, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases among the working population is fueling the expansion of the occupational medicines market.

The rising geriatric population is anticipated to drive the growth of the occupational medicines market in the future. The geriatric population consists of elderly individuals, typically aged 65 and older, who have specific healthcare needs related to aging. Occupational medicine plays a vital role in improving the well-being of this demographic by addressing and managing age-related health issues, promoting functional independence, and ultimately enhancing the overall health and longevity of elderly individuals. For example, in July 2024, the UK Parliament's House of Commons Library, a UK-based government agency, reported that in 2022, there were 12.7 million people aged 65 and older in the UK, accounting for 19% of the total population. This figure is expected to rise to 22.1 million by 2072, representing 27% of the overall population. Therefore, the increasing geriatric population is driving the growth of the occupational medicines market.
