Ambulatory Infusion Centers Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Ambulatory Infusion Centers Market Analysis

The Ambulatory Infusion Centers Market size is estimated at USD 46.09 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 76.23 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.60% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Ambulatory infusion therapy is a facility that provides medical treatment outside the hospital. With the increase in demand for infusion therapy at alternate sites such as ambulatory infusion centers, there has been an upward trend in recent years for these centers. Also, the growing government initiatives to enhance healthcare facilities influence market growth. For instance, in March 2023, the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched an innovative program called "Close to Me Novel Infusion Care Delivery service," which aimed at reducing travel time for treatment to healthcare settings for Veterans. Through this program, twelve VA facilities across the country were selected for infusion treatment. This program covers eight CBOC care models, three home care models, and one mobile infusion unit site for infusion treatment at the initial stage.

Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc., fuels the growth of the ambulatory infusion centers market. This growing prevalence of chronic diseases requires more infusion treatment at home or in ambulatory infusion centers, which is one of the major factors responsible for the growth of the ambulatory infusion centers market. For instance, according to the British Heart Foundation, in 2023, around 620 million people were living with heart and circulatory diseases globally, and around 60 million people across the world develop a heart or circulatory disease every year.

In addition, rising demand for cost-effective and patient-centric healthcare solutions has also been fueling the growth of the ambulatory infusion centers market in recent years. There is a growing emphasis on patient-centered care, prioritizing treatments that can be delivered in the least disruptive manner possible in a cost-effective way, compelling healthcare providers to adopt this model. Hence, growing emphasis and demand for innovative solutions are fueling the growth of the ambulatory infusion centers market. For instance, Driscoll Children's Hospital in Texas, United States, adopted an innovative approach in 2022 for patient appointments on the same day for two or more specialties on the same day. Through this initiative, the project team set higher patient visit targets for each coming year, with an end goal to maintain or improve a rate of 8% from August 31, 2023, through August 31, 2025.

However, limited reimbursement coverage at specific sites, less digital transformation in developing countries, and more complex patient conditions restrain the market growth.
