Global Occupational Therapy Market Trends
During the five years preceding 2018, the business of Occupational Therapists benefited from heightened demand for services provided by the industry and from patients' increased financial accessibility as a result of favorable healthcare legislation and increased disposable income. In addition, the need for facilitative occupational therapy (OT) services has grown due to the aging population and the increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Moreover, OT is a typical therapeutic approach used in the recovery phase following a major surgery or injury. These trends have led to an increase in industry revenue over the current period. It is anticipated that industry revenue will grow gradually over the following five years, to 2023. Medicare's outpatient therapy caps being removed as well as the growing development of an evidence-based practice, are both contributing to this expected expansion.
