Market key trends:
The rising aging population in the U.S. coupled with growing number of emergency visits are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. As per estimates, over 55 million Americans are aged 65 years and above currently and this demographic accounts for a major share of emergency visits annually. Chronic health conditions are highly prevalent in the geriatric group making them more dependent on emergency healthcare services. Additionally, non-elderly Americans are also increasingly utilizing hospital emergency departments even for non-urgent care needs due to various factors like lack of affordable primary care providers. This has contributed to overcrowding of emergency departments, augmenting the need for capacity expansion and advanced facilities.
