The anticipated increase in hospitalizations is poised to drive growth in the primary care physician market. Hospitalization involves patients being admitted for medical treatment or observation.

Primary care physicians play a crucial role in diminishing both the frequency and duration of hospital stays by promptly addressing health concerns, effectively managing chronic ailments, and delivering continuous and coordinated care. Such an approach not only enhances patient outcomes but also reduces healthcare expenditures. As illustrated by a report released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency based in Australia, in May 2024, there were 12.1 million hospitalizations in 2022-23, representing a 4.6% increase from 11.6 million in 2021-22. Consequently, the escalating rate of hospitalizations is propelling the expansion of the primary care physician market.
