United States Health Coaching Market Report 2024 with Industry Outlook to 2028 and Consumer Demand Factor Survey Insights for 2020-2023


Dublin, Feb. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The U.S. Health Coaching Market" report from Marketdata LLC has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Health coaching has emerged as a $7.6 billion healthcare service market, with a strong growth outlook

An estimated 128,000 health coaches and health educators advise and motivate clients to change bad lifestyle habits and to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes. Consumers, employers and insurers are each now more seriously focused on improving health and being proactive, in light of the pandemic, rising obesity levels, and chronic health conditions.

You are most likely to find a health coach in private practice, at a healthcare insurer, or via a corporate wellness program. Large self-insured companies are using coaches to improve employee health and cut claims costs, as are healthcare insurers. However, like coaching in general, the industry is loosely defined, and unregulated, and certification is performed by many competing organizations. However, improved CPT codes and reimbursement are on the near-term horizon.

This new report covers the following:

Market definition-types of health coaches, what they do, where they work, their number, annual salaries, market structure, market size: 2000-2028 forecast, effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, recovery since 2020, the shift to virtual coaching, estimated number of weight loss coaches employed by major diet companies, demand and awareness of coaching by consumers, findings of phone interviews with heads of the National Society of Health Coaches, Wellcoaches, Institute of Integrative Nutrition, coaches by specialty, coach demographics.
