Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from the number of senior clients receiving in-home care in each country, the average weekly caregiver hours billed per client by service line (personal care, companionship, medication management, skilled nursing visits), and the realized hourly or per-visit billing rate for each line. That bottom-up build is then checked against disclosed revenue, franchise unit counts and territory coverage reported by named providers including Home Instead, BrightStar Care and Amedisys, and against state Medicaid home and community-based waiver spending data. Where a country's caregiver-hour assumption implied a total inconsistent with these disclosures, the caregiver-hour or billing-rate assumption was corrected rather than averaging in the top-down figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary interviews target home care agency owners and franchise operators, care coordinators and staffing managers, hospital and skilled nursing discharge planners who refer clients into home care, and case managers at Medicaid waiver programs and private insurers who authorize home care benefits. Sampling emphasizes the United States, where licensing and reimbursement data are most granular, alongside the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan, where public long-term care programs materially shape service mix. Conversations focus on caregiver availability, billing rate movement by service line, and which payer categories are expanding or tightening authorization for in-home care.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on state home care agency licensing registries and franchise disclosure documents filed with state regulators in the United States, CMS home health claims and Medicaid waiver spending data, the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP family caregiving surveys, and Eurostat and OECD long-term care expenditure statistics for European markets. Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare long-term care insurance statistics anchor the Asia Pacific estimate. These sources were chosen because they publish figures at the service-line or program level rather than a single aggregated market number, which is what the bottom-up build requires.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from projected growth in the 75-and-older and 85-and-older population cohorts, rising diagnosed dementia prevalence, and the continued shift of post-acute and long-term care spending away from institutional settings toward the home, driven by cost pressure on public payers and family preference. Billing rate growth is tied to projected caregiver wage inflation rather than held flat. The 2020-2021 period is treated as a demand spike tied to institutional care avoidance during the pandemic and is not extrapolated forward. For the forecast to hold, caregiver wage growth must not outpace payer reimbursement rate increases enough to force service-hour rationing.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs were back-tested against recorded 2020-2024 caregiver-hour and agency revenue growth in the United States, Germany and Japan, the three markets with the most complete historical reporting. Segment-mix and regional-shift assumptions, including the pace at which dementia and Alzheimer's care gains share and the rate at which Asia Pacific closes on North America, were reviewed against published aging-population projections rather than accepted as trend extrapolation. Sensitivities were tested on caregiver wage growth, Medicaid and insurance reimbursement rate changes, and the pace of institutional-to-home shift, since these three assumptions move the forecast total by the widest margin.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is strongest for the United States, Germany and Japan, where licensing registries, CMS claims data and long-term care insurance statistics give a direct read on client volumes and billing rates. It is weaker across Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, where informal, unlicensed family caregiving still covers most elderly care and few operators disclose figures, so those regions rely more on adjacent-market analogues. A material change in Medicaid or private insurance reimbursement policy, or a slower-than-projected caregiver wage increase, would be the most likely source of a future revision to this estimate.
