The escalating instances of abuse and neglect targeting children and the elderly are projected to drive the demand for individual and family services. Both children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to mistreatment, facing abuse and neglect from family members, acquaintances, institutions, and other sources. In a 2022 report by the World Health Organization, approximately 1 in 6 individuals aged 60 years and older experienced some form of abuse. A significant proportion of these abuses transpire within institutions like nursing homes and long-term care facilities. According to the 29th Child Maltreatment Report by the Children’s Bureau at HHS' Administration for Children and Families (ACF), out of 3,534,000 million children, 60.8% of victims were neglected, 10.7% were physically abused, and 7.0% were sexually abused. Over 15% of children experienced two or more types of maltreatment. Victims of abuse among children and the elderly often suffer from physical injuries, emotional distress, and psychological problems, such as impaired social-emotional skills and anxiety. These vulnerable individuals, due to the emotional instability caused by abuse, are at a heightened risk of substance abuse. This growing number of affected individuals is increasing the demand for individual and family services, specifically for non-residential social assistance services aimed at improving living standards.

The primary categories of individual and family services encompass child and youth services, services for the elderly and individuals with disabilities, as well as other individual and family services. Child and youth services offer non-residential social assistance to children and young individuals. These services can be accessed through various modes, including online and offline channels, and they find applications in diverse areas such as food stamp programs, disaster relief services, adoption services, and self-help initiatives, among others.

The burgeoning need for childcare services is projected to be a key driver in the expansion of the individual and family services market. Childcare services encompass organized facilities or programs offering care, supervision, and support to children in the absence of their parents or guardians. Individual and family services complement child care services by providing families with counseling, guidance, and resources, offering a comprehensive approach to enhancing children’s well-being. According to Statistics Canada in March 2023, 45,366 businesses across Canada offered childcare services to children aged 0 to 12 years in 2022. Among these businesses, 31% were child care centers, 28% were home-based child care providers, and 41% comprised other types of child care providers. This rise in demand for childcare services is a key driver behind the growth of the individual and family services market.

The underreporting of abuse cases poses a significant hurdle for the individual and family services market. A considerable portion of abuse cases goes unreported due to various factors such as fear, lack of awareness, and inadequate channels for reporting. According to the National Children's Alliance, approximately 600,000 children experienced unique incidents of abuse and neglect in the U.S. in 2021. However, the actual number of abused children is likely underreported, exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These unreported cases hinder the ability of individual and family services providers to assist victims, leaving many affected individuals without aid. This issue significantly impedes the growth of the individual and family services market.

Individual and family services providers are increasingly leveraging virtual platforms for events, fundraising, and service delivery, particularly due to pandemic restrictions worldwide. Many organizations have shifted their service models to the online space. For example, in January 2023, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, a US-based medical insurance company, launched Virtual Connect. This virtual-first approach delivers a wide range of care services, including preventive and urgent care, behavioral and mental health support, care coordination, insurance guidance, and more.
