Definition:
Hospitals are licensed facilities that provide a variety of medical and surgical services, some of which are also provided by other facilities. A distinguishing characteristic of hospitals is “inpatient care,” which refers to services where patients are admitted to a hospital to stay overnight for closer monitoring.

This market includes general hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and specialist hospitals, which provide various services to patients, ranging from diagnostics, medical and surgical treatments, nursing and specialized accommodation to other medical services. Depending on the specific legal regulations, the medical services provided by hospitals can vary greatly from country to country. Long-term care facilities, ambulatory care providers, and medical retailers are excluded from this market.

Structure:
The Hospitals market is divided into three categories: Inpatient Care, Outpatient Care, and Other Hospital Services. Inpatient Care comprises all the medical and surgical services that are provided to patients who are admitted to a hospital for an overnight stay. Outpatient Care covers all medical and surgical services that are provided to patients without having to spend the night in a hospital. Other Hospital Services includes hospital services that are provided outside of a basic hospital setting, e.g., day-care, long-term care, and home-based care.

The healthcare industry in Sri Lanka has been growing rapidly over the past few years with a focus on improving the quality of healthcare services across the country. As a result, the Hospitals market has also seen significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences: Customers in Sri Lanka are becoming more aware of the importance of quality healthcare services and are willing to pay for it. They are increasingly seeking out hospitals that offer modern facilities, state-of-the-art medical equipment, and highly qualified medical professionals. Patients are also looking for hospitals that provide personalized care and a comfortable environment, which has led to an increase in demand for private hospitals.

Trends in the market: The Hospitals market in Sri Lanka is seeing a trend towards consolidation with larger hospitals acquiring smaller ones. This trend is driven by the need to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase market share. Another trend is the increasing use of technology in healthcare services, such as telemedicine, which allows patients to consult with medical professionals remotely. This has become particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Local special circumstances: One of the unique challenges facing the Hospitals market in Sri Lanka is the shortage of qualified medical professionals, particularly in rural areas. This has led to a concentration of healthcare services in urban areas, which can be a barrier to access for patients living in rural areas. Another challenge is the high cost of healthcare services, which can be a barrier to access for lower-income patients.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Hospitals market in Sri Lanka is driven by several macroeconomic factors, including the country's growing population, increasing urbanization, and rising income levels. The government has also been investing in healthcare infrastructure, which has helped to improve the quality of healthcare services across the country. However, the country's healthcare system still faces challenges, particularly in terms of access to healthcare services for all segments of the population.

The healthcare landscape in the United States is a complicated one. There are federal health insurance plans for low-income individuals namely Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s health insurance program) and Medicare for seniors and the disabled. Aside from these, people must buy private health insurance or be left uninsured because the U.S. is the only high-income country without universal healthcare coverage. Hospitals in the U.S., therefore, receive payment from multiple payers. Most revenue generated by U.S. hospitals comes from private insurance, self, or other payments. The complexity of this multi-payer system is instrumental to the U.S. having the highest administrative health costs per capita among wealthy nations.
