High Infrastructure Costs and Reimbursement Challenges Limited Market Growth

The global ambulatory services market outlook looks promising, owing to rising popularity of outpatient care and surge in chronic disease prevalence. However, high infrastructure costs and reimbursement challenges might slow down market growth to some extent.

Setting up ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) and clinics requires a large investment in medical equipment, compliance systems, and trained staff. This creates challenges for new players and slows growth in low-resource areas.

In addition, many health insurance policies cover inpatient care, with limited reimbursement for outpatient or day-care procedures. This discourages patients from opting for ambulatory services, thereby slowing down market growth.

Surge in Chronic Disease Burden Creating Lucrative Growth Avenues

The global incidence of chronic conditions like diabetes, respiratory illnesses, and cardiovascular diseases is increasing significantly. For instance, as per IDF, about 853 million people will be living with diabetes by 2025. This is expected to drive demand for ambulatory services as more people need regular, ongoing monitoring, diagnostics, follow-ups, etc.

Ambulatory services are well suited for long-term disease management due to low cost and better convenience. Thus, increasing cases of chronic diseases will create lucrative growth opportunities for ambulatory service providers during the forthcoming period.

Emerging Ambulatory Services Market Trends

Rising patient preference for convenience and accessibility is boosting the ambulatory services market growth. Patients in the contemporary world seek healthcare that is quicker, closer to home, and involves shorter wait times. Ambulatory centers and telehealth support align well with this trend.

Growing popularity of value-based & preventive care models is expected to support market expansion. Healthcare is shifting from treating serious illnesses to focusing on early detection, wellness, disease prevention, and ongoing management. Outpatient and ambulatory facilities are well-suited for this approach.

Innovations like minimally invasive procedures, telemedicine, and AI-based diagnostics are expanding the scope and efficiency of outpatient care. Adoption of these medical technologies will likely foster growth of the ambulatory services market during the forthcoming period.
