The US home health care market, valued at nearly $4.5 billion in 2009, is set to experience steady growth in the years ahead, driven by a burgeoning aging population, a critical need for cost-effective solutions for patients suffering from long-term chronic conditions, and the increasing use of technology to meet the needs of those receiving home-based medical care. According to Medtech Insight's recent report "US Markets for Home Health Care Products," sales revenues for the major home health care product segments are expected to reach $5.2 billion by 2012.
