A Transparency Market Research report found the global primary care market will expand at a steady rate over the next few years.
Here are five things to know:
1. The increasing demand for primary healthcare will drive the market's growth.
2. U.S. regulatory changes making private healthcare more affordable will have a significant impact on the global primary care physician market.
3. The United States is currently leading the market, followed by Europe. As more U.S. citizens work to maintain a healthy lifestyle into their 70s and 80s, primary care physicians will become more important.
4. In the Asia Pacific region, multiple economies are emerging, which will impact the creation of a multimillion-dollar primary care physician market in the region.
5. A decline in the quality of care and misdistributions will pose as challenges to the market's growth.
