It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 12.4% over the forecast period. Aging baby boomers, growing incidence of chronic diseases, and government initiatives to include long-term care software in healthcare facilities are anticipated to drive the growth.

Various strategic initiatives by market players are expected to boost the LTC software market growth. In August 2018, Mediware Information Systems acquired BlueStrata EHR to expand its long-term care software technology solutions. The acquisition is expected to support Mediware to meet healthcare needs of the aging population.
