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

Home Healthcare Market 2025 explores 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. The report also includes information regarding online diagnosis, as well as homecare DX/ICT pertaining to home healthcare, which was introduced in the fiscal 2024 medical fee revisions.

The establishment of a new national system that promotes home health care, along with the rise in the number of patients requiring home healthcare, is driving the expansion of the home healthcare industry. In 2023, the daily total of patients receiving medical care at home reached 240,000.

In an effort to establish a "Community-based Comprehensive Care System" amidst a swift rise in the elderly population, the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) took the initiative. By reengineering the current vertically divided system between medical care and nursing care, the program intends to  improve long-term home care (including end-of-life care) while taking  the  demands of individuals who want to continue living at home for as long as feasible in their familiar community into account. The system improves cooperation among medical institutions and between medical and long-term care services, as well as reinforces the roles of healthcare providers, in order to deliver medical treatment and long-term care services more effectively and efficiently.
