Global Long-term Care Software Market Size (2023 to 2028)

As per our report, the size of the global long-term care software market is estimated to grow to USD 4.19 Billion by 2028 from USD 2.32 Billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period. 

Long-term care is a clinical service that helps the medical and non-medical needs of people with a disability or chronic diseases who cannot care for themselves. It is concentrated on individualized and coordinated services that give the patient independence and quality of life and provide services to patient needs from time to time. Long-term care levels include day programs, home care, nursing home, senior housing, continuing care retirement communities, and assisted living. The long-term software is fully integrated with electronic health records and other non-clinical solutions to increase patient care, decrease labor costs, and maintain compliance. Data is entered into the software, which programs and flows through the system for various facilities. It helps provide consolidated reports for multiple facilities, offers good quality care with accurate information, saves time, automatic inter-facility accounting, boosts efficiency and productivity, maintains records over long periods, and reduces the risk of redundancy, eliminating inconsistencies in the documentation.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing aging population worldwide, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the shortage of skilled nursing personnel, and the rise in disposable income propel the global long-term care software market growth.

The aging population across the world is anticipated to hit 1.4 billion by 2030, according to World Health Organization (WHO). Approximately 12% of the U.S. adult population lives with more than 5+ chronic conditions, 28% with 3+ conditions, and 59% with at least one condition of chronic diseases. In addition, healthcare reforms and government initiatives, the increasing need to reduce healthcare costs, a growing need to raise awareness about diseases, improving healthcare infrastructure, changing demographic trends, and rising government funding are further expected to fuel the long-term care software market expansion. Population trends, a lack of healthcare specialists, and numerous government programs worldwide to reduce medical expenditures are other factors expected to accelerate the market's growth rate. To control and monitor such a large proportion of the elderly population susceptible to any chronic condition at any time, even if the disease has only occurred once, it is critical to have them monitored at-home care, nursing facilities, community centers, and assisted living facilities. Therefore, the need for software and equipment to connect to these centers and patients becomes a requirement and thus serves as one of the market's primary drivers.

Based on the current lockdown situation in some countries owing to the outbreak of COVID-19, the usage of EHR systems is expected to aid in monitoring and treating diseases in people who require regular consultations with doctors to check their health state. EHRs (Electronic Health Records) are highly beneficial in medical document management, quality, and health outcomes. The increase in productivity in the healthcare center was noticed for two years. Increasing governmental and private financial incentives for EHR adoption propels the whole EHR market forward while benefiting long-term care EHR solutions positively. Additionally, the rising innovations in the field of long-term care software to add beneficial features and advanced care and the investments from key market-established companies are also supporting the market's rise. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, lack of awareness, high software maintenance costs, the reluctance of conventional LTC providers to adopt software, and insufficient government initiatives in developing countries are restraining the growth of the long-term care software market. Increased software maintenance costs and the rising reluctance of traditional long-term care providers to adopt software are the major factors that are expected to hinder the market growth. In contrast, lower adoption of long-term care software in developing countries is further anticipated to challenge the market's growth in the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global long-term care software market:

COVID-19 is a new disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 and has spread to every corner of the world, affecting millions of people and leaving them to die. The pandemic has created a positive impact on the long-term care software market. During this situation, people visiting the hospitals have reduced to avoid spreading the disease. Meeting their consult physicians has decreased, and remote-patient consultations have rapidly accelerated. This way of approaching their professionals has become easy around the globe. As a result, the long-term care software market is expected to hit a steady and healthy CAGR during the forecast period.
