Home Health Care (Medical/Long-term Care)

Leading medical market relating to home health care services, home-visit nursing, elderly facility services, etc.

“Home Health Care Market 2024” is a first publication on the market related to home medical/long-term care in four years since the last publication. The report denotes the market size, the market analysis based on market share by company, etc., for the market of domiciliary oxygen therapy, high flow (nasal cannula) therapy, home mechanical ventilation treatment, home peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, home fluid therapy (central vein feeding, enteral feeding, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy [PEG] catheter), home self-catheterization, home self-injection, and self-monitoring blood glucose devices, respectively. The report also provides data on medical devices used in the home medical/long-term care.

Amid the rapid increase of elderly population, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is reassessing the way end-of-life care should be provided, while aiming to establish healthcare system including ‘family physician clinics’ to ensure long-term medical and nursing care, as well as neighboring hospitals ("Community Medical Partnership System").

On an assumption that hospitalized patients will need continued care at home or at nursing home, the government aims to divide medical care and nursing care functionally, while encouraging cooperation between the two as a community medical care to provide high quality, efficient medical care. We believe the establishment of such community care will pave the way for increasing home healthcare patients.
