The global assisted living market size was valued at USD 171.15 billion in 2024. The market is projected to reach USD 271.50 billion by 2032, recording a CAGR of 5.94% during the forecast period.
Assisted living refers to a residential & care arrangement designed for older adults who wish to maintain their independence, as well as individuals with disabilities who require some assistance with daily tasks but do not need constant medical supervision. Almost 60% of older adults will require some form of long-term care in the coming future. This factor is driving the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on the market due to government-imposed lockdowns in 2020. Facilities adopted strict control measures, resulting in heightened operational costs. Additionally, many establishments faced reduced occupancy rates because of hesitance and restrictions on new admissions. Staffing shortages arose as employees dealt with illness and apprehension about working in high-risk settings.
