The U.S. retail clinics market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.86 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2024 to 2030. Convenient access and affordable prices are expected to boost growth of the U.S. retail clinics market.
These settings act as an alternate channel for provision of primary care and offer basic healthcare services at affordable prices, lowering the need to visit the Emergency Department. Around 10% of the visits to the emergency departments in the U.S. could be treated outside of the ED. This reduces the out-of-pocket costs paid for the visit to an ED.
These settings usually operate during all seven days of a week. In addition, they have shorter waiting duration and appointments are not mandatory. Convenience and flexibility of visit hours help people easily access clinics that are located in grocery stores, shopping malls, and other locations.
In addition, adoption of information technology, highlighted by the use of EHRs helps these settings maintain a streamlined patient record that can be shared across different healthcare systems. This patient data could also be used to implement population health management strategies, for better patient outcomes, which could ease the U.S. healthcare's transformation into a value-based care model from a fee-for-service (FFS) model.
