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” denotes the market size and market analysis based on the survey on suppliers 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. As complementary data, the report also provides information on other medical devices used in the home health care.

The home healthcare market is projected to expand in tandem with the increase in the number of patients in need of home health care, which is likely to be driven by the institution of a new national system that includes promotion of home health care.

Against the backdrop of a rapid increase of elderly persons, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) took an initiative to institute a “Community-based Comprehensive Care System”. Considering the needs of people that wish to continue to live at home as long as possible, in the community they are familiar with, the system aims to enhance long-term home care (including end-of-life care) by reconstructing the present vertically-divided system between medical care and nursing care. To provide medical care and long-term care services more effectively and efficiently, the system not only strengthens the functions of medical institutions, but also enhances the cooperation among medical institutions and between medical and long-term care services.
