LONDON, Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The structure of the world's population is undergoing significant change. The OECD forecasts that, globally the population aged 65 and over will be more than double to 16.2% by 2050, with the percentage of people aged 80 and over increasing significantly. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, the global base of population pertaining to the age group – 60 years and above is expected to reach 2 billion in 2050. Decreasing fertility rates, coupled with increasing overall life expectancy, are driving up the share of elderly in the overall population. As a result, demand for elderly care is expected to rise significantly. This geriatric population base is highly susceptible to various diseases such diabetes, blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, and cardiovascular. Therefore, the growing global geriatric population base coupled with the fact that approximately 70% of home health patients belong to the age group of 65 years and above, is expected to drive market demand for home healthcare products and services during the forecast period.
In addition, growing shift towards the home care due to rising awareness regarding the convenience and cost-effectiveness of home healthcare products & services further contributing to the growth of this market. Technological advancements such as tele-health, wearable devices, mobile health applications etc. and government initiatives to promote home healthcare are also fueling the growth of home healthcare market across the globe. However, changing reimbursement policies, limited insurance coverage, risk to safety and health of home healthcare worker, and growing patient safety concerns are some of the factors that may hinder the growth of this market during the forecast period.

The home healthcare products market is primarily segmented into home tests and patient monitoring equipment which includes fertility tests, pregnancy tests, gender, dna & parental tests, drug tests, alcohol tests, cholesterol tests, HIV tests, holter monitors, blood pressure monitors, oximeters, heart rate monitors, thermometers, mediscopes, stethoscopes, defibrillators, pedometers, scales & body fat monitors, peak flow meters, apnea monitors, baby monitors, coagulation monitors, and diabetes management devices; home therapeutic equipment which includes home respiratory therapy equipment (continuous positive airway pressure equipment, oxygen delivery equipment, nebulizers & accessories, ventilators & accessories, and humidifiers), home dialysis equipment (home peritoneal dialysis products, home hemodialysis products) home IV equipment ( IV pumps, and other home IV equipment) and others; patient support equipment which includes wheelchairs and related equipment (wheelchairs- manual wheelchairs and powered wheelchairs), walking assist devices, mobility scooters, medical furniture and accessories, and bathroom safety equipment.
