The medical accompaniment service market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.12 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be linked to a growing preference for personalized healthcare, a rising need for post-operative care support, an increase in outpatient procedures, expansion of healthcare infrastructure in rural regions, and a stronger focus on patient-centered services. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include technological advancements in medical transport systems, innovation in patient monitoring solutions, greater investment in research and development, the emergence of app-based booking platforms, and the integration of AI for optimizing travel routes.
The growing demand for personalized healthcare is expected to drive the expansion of the medical accompaniment service market. Personalized healthcare involves tailoring medical treatments and services to meet an individual's specific needs, preferences, and genetic makeup, aiming to improve health outcomes. This demand is being fueled by advances in genetic research, which allow for therapies adapted to unique genetic profiles, enhancing effectiveness and minimizing side effects. Medical accompaniment services contribute to this trend by providing customized support during healthcare visits, easing patient stress, and ensuring timely and appropriate care for individuals with specialized needs. For example, in February 2024, the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a U.S.-based healthcare organization, reported that the FDA approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare diseases in 2023, compared to six in 2022. As a result, the rising focus on personalized healthcare is contributing to the growth of the medical accompaniment service market.
