The global private nursing services market size is anticipated to reach USD 7.37 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.85% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Private nurses provide medical care such as administering medications, managing wounds, and monitoring vital signs to the patients suffering from chronic diseases. They also offer emotional support and help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the need for private nursing services over the forecast period.
According to the statistics from the American Cancer Society published in 2023, 1,918,030 new cancer cases were diagnosed in 2022. It is estimated that approximately 1,958,310 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2023, which is equivalent to 5,370 new cases per day. Due to cancer treatments being long-term and expensive at hospital facilities, the increasing cancer burden in the U.S. is anticipated to require more nursing care, which is expected to drive the market's growth.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on private duty nursing (PDN) services, particularly for children with medical complexities (CMC). In a study conducted by the Center for Research in Education and Social Policy in September 2021, it was found that 32% of shifts were not covered in the six months prior to the pandemic, compared to the period of January-June 2021. This was reported by family caregivers of CMC. This shortage of PDNs led to difficulties in securing PDNs for CMC care, with 44% of family caregivers reporting difficulty in securing PDNs. In addition, the same study reported that 71% of PDNs altered their work schedules during the pandemic, citing reasons such as increased workload, fear of infection, and family obligations. However, with a decrease in COVID-19 cases, the market has since recovered and is likely to increase rapidly in the post-pandemic period.
