Palliative Care Market Analysis

The palliative care market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period.

Professionals in supportive and palliative care faced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet palliative care is an essential intervention for enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients. For instance, as per the report published by Frontiers in Public Health in November 2022, from the oncologist's perspective, the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the palliative care practice, daily clinical routine, and personal lives of the patients. However, as per the same source, the corresponding measures like remote assistive technology in palliative care and encouraging home-based and personalized palliative care treatment are expected to have increased demand which will likely propel the market to grow over the coming years.

The major factors expected to drive the market growth include an increase in life-threatening and chronic diseases, an increase in the aging population, and an increase in palliative care centers. In addition, the public's increasing awareness of palliative care is expected to grow significantly in the market. For instance, as per the AIHW report, in 2021, 58,700 patients received palliative care from the 177 palliative care services participating in the Australian Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration (PCOC) program. This shows the huge participation of patients in palliative care, which is expected to impact the market over the study period significantly.

Furthermore, the establishment of new palliative care services by various market players increases the adoption of palliative care, which is expected to boost market growth. For instance, in October 2022, a 10-bed pediatric palliative care ward was opened at Sparsh Hospice at Khajaguda, Hyderabad, on World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. These new palliative care facilities increase the widespread services that likely propel the market growth over the forecast period.

However, the high cost of treatments and insufficient access to palliative care are the factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Palliative Care Market Trends

Cancer Segment is Expected to Have Significant Share in the Market Over the Forecast Period

Palliative care is a type of medical care that relieves pain and other symptoms while also assessing all other aspects of a patient's physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. It intends to improve the quality of life for sick cancer patients and their families. The cancer segment is expected to hold a significant market share over the forecast period owing to the high burden of cancer cases, the growing geriatric population and the increasing adoption of palliative care in cancer treatment.

The expansion of the program that helps with healthcare costs in cancer through increasing palliative care is expected to drive the market to grow. For instance, in September 2022, the American Cancer Society (ACS) stated that a new study showed Medicaid expansion associated with increased palliative care use for cancer patients diagnosed with advanced disease. This can help cover medical costs for some people with limited income and resources and likely propel the market's growth over the study period.

Furthermore, the new funding for palliative care is expected to have significant growth in the market. For instance, in December 2021, the Minister for Health, Ireland funded USD 10.6 million (EUR 10 million) for palliative and end-of-life care through several national organizations, including the Irish Cancer Society. Hence, the new funding for palliative care in cancer is expected to boost the market over the forecast period.

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market Over the Forecast Period

North America is expected to grow in the palliative care market due to the region's proper reimbursement and insurance facilities for palliative care services. The United States holds most of the North American market share due to the growing healthcare expenditure and the rapid adoption of point-of-care testing.

The new initiatives by the government in the region improve palliative care in the region. For instance, in May 2022, United States Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) reintroduced the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA), a bipartisan bill to grow, improve and sustain the Palliative and hospice care workforce to keep pace with patients' needs and to help improve the well-being of Americans with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Palliative and hospice care focus on relieving patients suffering from serious illnesses and working to improve their quality of life which is expected to boost the market over the forecast period.

In addition, funding in support of palliative care by the government can propel the market in the region. For instance, in August 2022, the Government of Canada announced USD 2 million in support for palliative care for persons who are homeless or vulnerably housed. Thus, a new government funding initiative can expand the region's palliative care services and is expected to boost the market over the forecast period.
