Home Healthcare Technologies Leading in the $5 Billion U.S. Home Healthcare Product Market

The home healthcare products and services market in the U.S. is expanding rapidly, due to the aging of the population and the corresponding increase in chronic illnesses and diseases, the expense and reduced length of acute care hospital stays, advances in new home medical technologies, and patient demand for home-based products and services. The overall market for these services in the U.S. - which includes home healthcare agencies, respiratory therapy services and supplies, and infusion therapy services and supplies - is expected to increase from approximately $4.7 billion in 2007 to nearly $5.2 billion in 2012.
