Summary

Global Urgent Care Center Market is expected to grow at a significant rate of around 4.5% during the forecast period. An urgent care center is a clinic that serves patients with urgent but non-serious medical issues and is located outside of a regular hospital emergency room. Injuries or illnesses that need immediate attention but are not serious enough to necessitate an emergency department visit are typically treated at urgent care facilities. The growth of the urgent care center market is driven due to the strategic alliances between hospitals and urgent care providers and the rising investment in urgent care. For instance, on 4 January 2022, HCA Healthcare acquired MD Now Urgent Care from private equity firm Brentwood Associates. The number of cardiovascular or sports-related injuries has increased, which has decreased patient wait times and raised awareness of urgent care facilities. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), in 2021 exercise equipment accounted for about 409,000 injuries, the most in any category of sports and recreation.

Concentra, Inc.; MedExpress; NextCare; TH Medical; FastMed Urgent Care; Ascension; Summit Health; WellNow Urgent Care; American Family Care; GoHealth Urgent Care are some of the key players in the market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

Based on medical service, the market is segmented into acute illness treatment, trauma/injury treatment, physical examinations, immunizations & vaccination, and others. Acute illness treatment held a significant share of the market in 2021.

This is mainly due to the increasing number of trauma cases and the rising number of patients in hospitals.
