Description
According to BusinesStat, in 2007-2011, the value of the medical market in the world grew by 37% and reached $ 3,098 billion. At the same time, 60% of payments for medical services in the world were made from government budgets. The main reason for the growth in the turnover of the medical market was the growth in the number of medical services provided.
In 2011, the number of medical services rendered in the world grew by 8.5% and amounted to 114.7 billion services. The growth of the physical volume of the medical market in the world is due to the following factors:
• rapid population aging
• introduction of new medical technologies
• an increase in government spending on health care and the activities of international charitable organizations
• increasing the level of medical literacy of the population
• globalization of the medical market
The most significant factor determining the dynamic development of the medical industry in the world is demographic: there are more and more elderly people all over the world.
The average life expectancy of the population in 2011 was 68 years. An increase in the proportion of older people in society leads to an increase in the number of persons with age-related pathology. Treatment of the elderly requires a long hospital stay and the use of a large number of drugs and procedures.
