CLEVELAND, July 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- US healthcare expenditures are forecast to reach $4.3 trillion in 2021, according to Healthcare: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Providers of healthcare services and products are expected to benefit from continued growth in consumer incomes, government funding, and a projected rise in the number of acute and chronic conditions, itself driven by above-average advances in the 45-years-and-older cohort of the population. Faster gains in value terms will be limited by efforts to curb growth in healthcare costs.

Notably, spending for home healthcare services is projected to exhibit the most rapid growth among discrete expenditure segments to 2021. The lower costs associated with home healthcare services relative to nursing homes and the desire of many persons to remain in their homes are expected to drive spending. In addition, the growing elderly population is projected to boost demand.

These and other key insights are featured in Healthcare: United States. This report forecasts US healthcare expenditures and funding in US dollars to 2021. Healthcare expenditures are segmented by type in terms of:
hospital
physician and clinical
