- The number of inquiries has grown significantly between 25%-30% for chemotherapy services, dialysis at home and other chronic diseases owing to the COVID-19 pandemic as these diseases are critical in nature and cannot be skipped repetitively.
- The increasingly unhealthy lifestyles of the younger generation due to the shift in dietary habits, as well as the increasingly busy schedules, have led to an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases among the population, leading to an increase in the demand for home healthcare services.
- There is a need to bring on set regulations and standards for the industry as well as bringing the services under the ambit of insurance. These things are expected to happen in the future, aiding the growth of the industry.
Country Outlook
The home healthcare market in India is still at its early growth stage and offers immense investment opportunities owing to the shifting demographics as well as changing demand trends from traditional healthcare services to home care services. The home healthcare market in India is gaining popularity at a rapid rate. The market primarily includes numerous unorganized players in comparison to 30-35 highly visible organized players. There is a very high possibility that with the introduction of set regulations by the government, there will be significant developments in the home healthcare industry which will pave the path of its future growth in the coming years.
Increase in the Number of Organized Players: As of now, the market is dominated by private, unorganized players and the trend appears to remain the same for the next 6 years as well, however, the market is expected to witness a nominal decrease in the proportion of unorganized players. The decrease in the unorganized sector is expected to be due to the extensive expansion strategies adopted by the current major players as well as the emergence of strict service guidelines from healthcare regulatory bodies with the aim to provide a framework for service quality consistency within the market.
Insurance Coverage: Home healthcare providers have been in talks with insurance companies for a while now, trying to bring homecare services under the purview of insurance. It is expected that with the introduction of home healthcare service regulations, the industry will grow at a dynamic pace and more insurance companies will come forward to partner with the home healthcare providers. This will be a major disruption as more people will come forward to avail home healthcare services which are already cost efficient in nature.
Impact of COIVD-19 Pandemic: Owing to the lockdown and limited access to healthcare services, The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare with NITI Aayog have released the official guidelines for telemedicine practices in the country. These are aimed at allowing registered medical practitioners to provide remote consultation in supersession of the Medical Council of India (MCI). The government’s recent notification regulating telemedicine amid the COVID-19 pandemic has given a boost to the business of Home Healthtech startups operating in the segment. More companies are now offering teleconsultation and telemedicine services. For instance, Portea has started offering teleconsultation and video-consultation services in Bengaluru to reach out to the consumers. Many companies have also started COVID-19 helplines, awareness campaigns, and free doctor consultations.
