The U.S. Urgent Care Centers Market was valued at USD 34.34 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 55.07 billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 8.60%. Lower cost and shorter waiting times than primary care physicians and telehealth adoption is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
The centers have reported an increase in average revenue per visit owing to increased patient volume in these facilities. As per a survey conducted by Experity, the net average revenue per visit in these facilities increased to USD 121.6 in 2020 from USD 118.5 in 2019. COVID-19 resulted in a greater number of new patients, offsetting the lower acuity of COVID-19 tests. This resulted in an overall increase in average revenue per visit in 2020.
The interest of hospitals is growing in UCCs to maintain the balance between primary healthcare services and ED in hospitals. These facilities offer equipment for blood testing, diagnosis, radiology, and screening. The U.S. government in collaboration with these centers is organizing various programs for the improvement of patient health. Telemedicine introduction further enables comfortable consultation for acute medical conditions at these centers.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the market owing to the increased patient volumes at the facilities for COVID-19 testing. The patient volumes are expected to decrease post-pandemic, owing to a decrease in demand for COVID-19 testing. Although, the patient volume is expected to be greater than the pre-pandemic levels. As per an Experity survey, the average number of tests continues to decline owing to the relaxation in policies and lowered number of cases of COVID-19. Still, the UCCs have observed a healthy number of patients per day which averages at around 45 patients per day, as per the seven-day average, as of May 2021.
