Allied Health-Care Services in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Healthy growth: Revenue climbs as the ageing of the UK population continues to boost demand

Allied health-care services' revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.1% over the five years through 2022-23 to £4.9 billion. The ageing of the UK population has supported sustained demand for industry services, owing to the effects of natural bodily decline that accompanies old age. Rising health consciousness and population growth have expanded the allied health-care services on offer. The government has promoted greater preventative care more in recent years as a way of relieving the workload on doctors and getting patients seen quicker.

Companies in this industry offer a range of ancillary healthcare services not provided by hospitals, doctors or dentists. Services provided under the allied healthcare umbrella include optometry, physiotherapy, occupational health therapy and supporting nursing care and chiropody.
