What is the size of the market for home healthcare or consumer wellbeing services and products?

Chronic illness, resulting from changes in lifestyle and diet, is more prevalent and has made people conscious of wellness. An ageing society uses home healthcare, preventative or self-care medicine to avoid or delay hospitalisation, improve quality of life and save on healthcare spending.

In a major shift with past behaviour, long term chronic conditions are now being treated at home by nursing professionals with medical care directed by physicians
