Summary
The global home healthcare market has grown significantly, valued at $362.1 billion in 2022, with continued growth forecast at a CAGR of 7.96% between 2023 and 2030, potentially reaching $668.2 billion. This expansion is propelled by an ageing population, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the demand for cost-effective homecare solutions from public authorities. In France, the medicalized homecare sector has almost doubled in value, reaching 4.8 billion euros by 2022, despite a slowdown in growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Technological advances such as connected objects and telemedicine are further driving the development of this market segment. Market players include public and private entities, as well as non-profit organizations, with growing participation from the private sector. Public initiatives are also seeking to support this sector with financial incentives and regulatory frameworks aimed at improving the integration and efficiency of homecare services.
Trends and growth prospects for home medical assistance in France
Home medical assistance in France is booming, mainly due to the aging of the population and the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses. Part of the wider homecare sector, this market is particularly focused on medical and social care, healthcare, and aims to meet the needs of vulnerable groups, including the elderly, people with disabilities, as well as those suffering from chronic illnesses. Demand for home medical assistance is fuelled by societal trends and political measures that encourage home care rather than institutionalization.
With a significant aging population, France has seen a marked increase in the number of people aged over 65, a trend that is set to intensify in the years ahead. The elderly population represented only around 9% of the French population in 2022, but projections suggest that this figure could almost double to around 16% by 2052. This increase is becoming palpable as the number of people benefiting from the Allocation personnalisée d'autonomie (APA), an aid for dependent people, has more than doubled since the early 2020s. The financial burden of dependency care on public finances has exploded, topping the 60 billion euro mark, and costs are set to rise further if alternatives to costly institutional care are not strengthened.
Sales of home medical aid have risen from around 2.5 billion euros to just under 5 billion euros in the space of six years, a clear sign of the market's strong growth. This growing demand for home medical assistance is matched by an increase in the number of people accompanying disabled relatives, with millions of French people doing so. The market is also seeing an increase in the number of people suffering from chronic illnesses and long-term health problems, particularly among the poor and elderly, pointing to a growing need for medical assistance aimed directly at people in their own homes.
Digitization is reshaping the market, with connected home devices and telemedicine becoming essential aspects of modern home medical assistance. A significant proportion of the French population believes that connected objects have considerable potential to improve the quality of home care for the elderly, whether in terms of monitoring treatment or improving day-to-day health care. Faced with this burgeoning demand, the landscape of service providers is diverse, ranging from public sector entities such as Centres Communaux d'Action Sociale and Centres Intercommunaux d'Action Sociale, to private associations and a growing number of commercial entities. Many of these organizations meet a variety of needs by offering medical and social assistance in the home.
Key players in the homecare market
The homecare market is a dynamic and vital sector, providing essential services to people who need medical assistance in the comfort of their own homes. This market has seen the participation of both public and private entities, each carving out their own niche while contributing to the overall growth of the industry. Here, we highlight the key players shaping the homecare landscape.
- public-sector entities: the pioneers of homecare Public-sector entities such as Centres Communaux d'Action Sociale (CCAS) and Centres Intercommunaux d'Action Sociale (CIAS) are the standard-bearers of local authority involvement in homecare. These organizations work closely with local institutions to provide tailored, community-specific assistance to those in need. This involves coordination with national health and welfare organizations to ensure comprehensive and accessible services for their clients.
- Non-profit associations: the backbone of community care Associations such as ADMR (Aide à domicile en milieu rural) and UNA (Union Nationale de l'Aide, des Soins et des Services aux Domiciles) are at the heart of the medico-social services sector. These private, not-for-profit groups are driven by the values of social entrepreneurship and solidarity. ADMR, for example, focuses on areas such as autonomy and family health, with a presence in rural areas, while UNA is France's leading network for home help, care and services. Their collective commitment to compassion makes them cornerstones of the sector.
- Private for-profit players: Innovators and expanding entities The growing influence of commercial entities cannot be overlooked in today's homecare market. Although they are not in the majority, companies such as DomusVi, Orkyn, Elivie, Asten, Zephyr Group and Libheros are making significant progress in expanding their services and the scope of their operations. They are leveraging advances in technology and adapting to regulatory changes to present a more diverse range of services, often integrating modern solutions such as telemedicine and therapeutic education into their offerings.
- Large groups: Champions of scale and scope Finally, the sector has seen the emergence and growth of major groups operating on a larger scale. Korian, for example, specializes in care for the elderly, while La Poste, traditionally a postal service, has turned the corner by entering the homecare market. This diversification means that traditional companies are recognizing the potential and importance of home medical services, leading to innovative product offerings and potentially increased demand
