Outpatient Clinics Market Report 2025

The outpatient clinics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $41.41 billion in 2024 to $43.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to escalating healthcare costs, an aging population, broader health insurance coverage, a higher prevalence of chronic illnesses, and increased demand for convenient and accessible healthcare services.

The outpatient clinics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by rising investments in outpatient infrastructure, a stronger emphasis on value-based care, the growth of ambulatory surgical centers, the integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostic processes, and increased use of remote patient monitoring. Key trends anticipated during this time include the expansion of telehealth services, AI-powered diagnostics, remote patient monitoring technologies, enhanced electronic health record integration, wearable health devices, and the use of virtual reality for pain management.

The growing demand for ambulatory care is expected to drive the expansion of the outpatient clinics market in the coming years. Ambulatory care encompasses medical services provided on an outpatient basis, without hospital admission, and includes a variety of healthcare services delivered in clinics, physician offices, outpatient hospital departments, and even at home. This increase in ambulatory care is largely due to patients’ preference for cost-effective and convenient treatment options outside traditional hospital environments. Outpatient clinics facilitate ambulatory care by offering a convenient and affordable setting for medical services without requiring hospital admission. For example, in March 2025, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), a US independent advisory body, reported that the number of Medicare-certified Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) rose by 2.5% to 6,308 in 2023, with 250 new centers opening and 95 closing or merging, resulting in a net increase of 155 centers compared to the prior year. Thus, the rising demand for ambulatory care is fueling growth in the outpatient clinics market.

Key players in the outpatient clinics market are focusing on innovative solutions such as virtual visits and telehealth to improve patient access, streamline care delivery, and boost overall healthcare efficiency. Virtual visits and telehealth involve the use of digital communication tools like video calls and mobile applications to offer remote medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments. For instance, in April 2022, Jovive Health, a US-based care provider, launched outpatient clinics in Illinois, California, and Nevada, integrating digital health records, virtual consultations, and online appointment systems to provide modern, patient-focused healthcare. These clinics offer services including urgent care, primary care, and virtual visits, enabling patients to manage both acute and chronic conditions without hospital visits. The clinics operate with support from Vituity, ensuring physician-led coordination and continuity of care across both in-person and virtual platforms.

In March 2025, Wellvana Health, a US healthcare services company, acquired the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) business from CVS Health for an undisclosed amount.

CVS Health is a US healthcare company that operates outpatient clinics through its MinuteClinic division.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
