Increasing Instances of Life-Threatening Diseases Drives the Global Market

According to Straits Research, “The global palliative care market size was valued at USD 12.74 billion in 2022. It is estimated to reach USD 25.68 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.10% during the forecast period (2023–2031).” The rising prevalence of fatal diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders propels the global market for palliative care. According to GLOBOCAN, in 2020, there were approximately 10.0 million deaths from cancer and 19.3 million new cases.

In addition to cancer treatment, patients who receive palliative care enjoy a higher quality of life than those who do not.

There will be an ever-increasing global demand for palliative care as the number of patients with these terminal conditions continues to rise.

Growing Geriatric Population Creates Tremendous Opportunities

An increasing global elderly population will generate prospects for market participants in the palliative care industry.
