Who Are the Major Contributors to the Palliative Care Market Growth?
The increasing prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease is expected to propel the growth of the palliative care market going forward. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. Alzheimer’s disease is rising due to the aging global population, as the risk of developing the condition significantly increases with age, making it more prevalent as people live longer lives. Palliative care supports Alzheimer’s disease by focusing on improving quality of life, managing distressing symptoms, supporting caregivers, and providing compassionate, holistic care throughout the progression of the illness. For instance, in April 2025, according to the Alzheimer's Association, a US-based nonprofit voluntary health organization, over 7 million Americans aged 65 and older were living with Alzheimer's disease in 2022, and this number is expected to grow to 7.2 million by 2025. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease is driving the growth of the palliative care market.
