Geriatrics, also known as geriatric medicine, is a medical specialty focused on improving the health of elderly people. It promotes healthy aging in older adults by preventing and treating disease and disability that often accompany aging. Geriatric care is a broad term that refers to the management of healthcare for the elderly. The geriatric care includes both medical and non-medical/personal care services. It entails providing assistance to older adults at their homes, hospitals, or special institutions such as nursing homes, psychiatric institutions, and so on. Services such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, dialysis, and IV therapy are examples of medical geriatric care.

Non-medical geriatric care includes more services that fall under home care, such as personal care (help in the bathroom), driving, meal preparation, fall prevention, social care, and others.

Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Geriatric Care Services

The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe has impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets.

Several elderly people who did not live with their children in COVID-19 hotspots or containment zones faced difficulties in managing their households during the Covid-19 pandemic. In contrast, in a geriatric care center, all of the elderly's needs were met, there are medical services available, and there were some essential staff residing within the campus of center during the early stages of the pandemic to ensure no one entered or exited from the facility, making it safe and sound. Thus, the impact of COVID-19 accelerates the growth of the geriatric care services market in India, owing to the benefits of living in a geriatric care center and launch of different programs related to elderly care. For instance, according to the article published in IntechOpen journal, in January 2021, the Public Health Foundation of India launched a program for training primary health care professionals in Geriatric health care, demonstrating the distant vision of government in India's health care delivery system.

The India geriatric care services market is estimated to be valued at US$ 25.7 Bn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.0 % over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Restraint- India Geriatric Care Services Market

Lack of geriatric care centers in rural areas is expected to be a major factor hampering the growth of India geriatric care services market. For instance, according to a public health review published in the International Journal of Public Health Research, in 2019, elderly people living in rural areas are at a greater disadvantage due to a lack of geriatric care-focused health services. The morbidity profile and perception of health problems among rural elderly differ significantly from those of urban elderly. Lower socioeconomic status (SES) and financial stability, in contrast to their urban counterparts, may also impede health seeking behavior in rural elderly. Such limitations are frequently exacerbated in rural elderly and elderly women, who are more likely to be unemployed or living alone.
