The palliative care center is a specialized medical care center for terminally ill patients, which caters to their physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. India has over 6 million people in need of palliative care per year. A greater number of patients needing palliative care are cancer patients in varying stages of the illness. There are 0.8 million new cancer cases every year in India. Cancer accounts for 9% of the total deaths and over 5% of Disability Assisted Life Years (DALY). India has been trying exhaustingly to develop a palliative care market for decades now, but it has been excruciatingly slow. The government has put forth a National Program of Palliative Care for India, but due to budget restriction, it could not be implemented adequately. The private sector is steadily rising on this front and saturating the palliative care market in India.
The market for palliative care worldwide was estimated to be worth $11,200 million in 2020 and is anticipated to grow to $25,309 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.4% from 2021 to 2030.
