U.S. Market for Home Care Products 5th Edition

This study U.S. Market for Home Care Products, 5th Edition represents the fifth time Kalorama Information has investigated this growing market over the past 12 years.

The U.S. market for home care products and equipment continues to post steady gains, primarily as a result of the aging population and increasing shifts of chronic care patients from hospitals to home. Serious market watchers will want to keep aware of trends in this industry, movers and shakers as well as market data.

In 2006, an estimated 18 million people received home health care in the United States, and most of these individuals also used associated home care products.

Through 2011, the numbers of home care patients will continue to grow as patient lifespans are extended with more sophisticated medical care and new technologies, and home care becomes an increasingly important and accepted means to contain healthcare costs for managed care providers.

This report provides details on the following segments:
