Michigan Urgent Care Center Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Application (Acute Respiratory Infection, Urinary Tract Infections), And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

The Michigan urgent care center market size is expected to reach USD 1.6 billion by 2028, based on a new report by the publisher. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2021 to 2028. The market is primarily driven by the growing demand for health services, rising prevalence of diseases, and increasing disposable income of the population. A gradual shift of patients toward non-traditional settings, such as urgent care centers and walk-in clinics, owing to easy access is projected to bode well for the market growth.

An urgent care center is an obvious link between emergency room services and primary care physicians. These centers provide immediate health services to patients who need access to their primary care physicians on weekends or at night. There is no prior appointment required at approximately 900+ urgent care centers in Michigan. They can replicate nearly all the services provided in an emergency room or a traditional doctor’s office. Urgent care represents 12.6% of all outpatient physician visits and over 23% of all primary health visits in the U.S. This represents the major role urgent care centers play in the delivery of ambulatory and primary patient care. Thus, these factors are propelling the growth of the market.

To meet the increasing demand for emergency services and create awareness, urgent care centers are adopting new technologies and conducting various business activities, such as facility expansions. There is a trend of adopting new treatment options, such as telehealth, for the immediate treatment of acute illnesses and injuries. Many urgent care centers are adopting virtual consultation platforms to provide treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such measures are expected to result in an increased demand for urgent care due to the growing awareness about the availability of accurate and quick treatment options because of the increased adoption of new technologies.
