Healthcare Staffing Market Growth & Trends
The global healthcare staffing market size is likely to reach USD 48.6 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for temporary nursing staff especially due to growing geriatric population is boosting the scope for these services across the world.
In 2010, the Association of American Medical Colleges estimated that U.S. might face a shortfall of 150,000 doctors during the next 10–15 years. In August 2019, the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO) stated that 90% of the U.S. healthcare facilities use locum tenens providers and over 50,000 physicians work on locum tenens projects every year. The increasing number of physicians choosing to work as locum tenens is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
Furthermore, the hospitals are forced to reduce the staff and implement policies for ensuring the availability of nurses upon an increase in the workload, in response to the pressure of costs. Due to high penetration of the market, there is the availability of healthcare staff during emergencies, thereby driving the market growth.
