Dublin, Feb. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "U.S. Concierge Medicine Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Ownership (Standalone, Group), by Application (Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Cardiology, Primary Care, Internal Medicine), and Segment Forecasts, 2021-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. concierge medicine market size is expected to reach USD 10.0 billion by 2028 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.39% from 2021 to 2028
Increased waiting time for physician appointments, shortage of physicians and rising prevalence of chronic diseases are driving the patients from conventional settings to non-traditional care settings. This, coupled with more time with physicians, fewer hospitalizations, and focus on preventive care, is driving the growth of the market.
The U.S. healthcare system is currently dealing with a critical shortage of Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) as the majority of medical graduates are taking specialization courses. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the country is anticipated to witness a shortage of 21,000 to 55,200 primary care doctors by 2032.
This is expected to widen the gap between healthcare demand and the supply of doctors. Hence, many patients are moving towards subscription-based care to ensure easy access to quality care even if there is a physician shortage.
Physician burnout is the prime reason for the increasing adoption of the retainer care model. According to the Medscape National Physician Burnout & Suicide Report 2020, 42% of the physicians accepted that they are burned out. The survey consisted of over 15,000 physicians in over 29 specialties.
In the retainer model, the physicians manage to earn more despite small patient panels and establish a work-life balance. A large number of female doctors, in particular, are switching to a retainer or membership-based practice. The idea of controlling the work, allocating more family time, pursuing personal & professional interests, and setting equal membership fees compared to male counterparts is offering an attractive choice to the women practitioners.
An increasing number of specialists are embracing the retainer care model. Specialties, such as endocrinology, podiatry, pediatrics, OB-GYN, rheumatology, psychiatry, dermatology, nephrology, and oncology, are witnessing a gradual increase in concierge care. According to the Physicians Foundation 2016 Survey of Americas Physicians, in 2016, 6.9% of the specialists were planning to switch to cash or concierge practice.
The rising participation and interest of specialty physicians in the membership model is expected to boost the market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for membership-based practices. Many people adopted the membership model to ensure better access to COVID-19 testing, vaccines, and treatment. Furthermore, many physicians facing financial crises due to reduced patient volume switched to retainer practice, thereby propelling the market growth.
U.S. Concierge Medicine Market Report Highlights
- The primary care segment held the maximum revenue share in 2020 and will expand further at the fastest CAGR from 2021 to 2028 as many physicians are downsizing to membership-based medicine to reduce their stress and maintain work-life balance, where they keep a less patient volume
- This is due to the increased work burden on the existing physicians on account of the high demand for primary care services and the growing geriatric population
- The group ownership segment held the maximum revenue share in 2020 owing to the VIP services provided in a membership model
- Since transitioning to retainer model requires legal compliance, high advertisement, and patient communication, many physicians merge their practice with concierge medicine companies. This is propelling the segment's growth
- In April 2020, Paragon Private Health announced its merger with Signature MD to provide world-class concierge medicine programs and an innovative service offering in areas, such as remote monitoring and telehealth. This will establish the company as a premier provider of membership-based support services
