Kalorama Pinpoints Slow Market Growth

NEW YORK — Despite several factors that would normally lead to strong growth — including the aging population and efforts to move chronic care patients from expensive institutional care to less costly home care — competitive bidding will "significantly" limit growth in many segments of the home care products market in the coming years. So says a new report from Kalorama Information called "The Market for Home Care Products, 6th Edition."

According to the report, the market will see only a modest increase of 2.2 percent annually between 2009 and 2014, down from 4.1 percent between 2006 and 2009.
