Urgent Care Centers Market Size

Urgent Care Centers Market size was valued at USD 30.56 billion in 2024 and is expected to cross USD 85.9 billion by the end of 2037, registering more than 8.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of urgent care centers is estimated at USD 32.59 billion.

Urgent care centers offer a variety of services, including treatment for minor illnesses and injuries, laboratory services, and X-rays, and thus, will drive the market’s growth. They are typically open outside of regular business hours and on weekends, providing patients with access to medical care when their primary care physicians may not be available. A report found that the majority of patients who seek care at urgent care centers are seen and treated within 30 minutes and that the average cost of a visit to an urgent care center is significantly lower than a visit to an emergency room.

In addition to this, a study found that urgent care centers are an appropriate setting for the treatment of a wide range of conditions, including minor illnesses and injuries. The study found that over 97% of patients who visited an urgent care center for treatment were treated successfully and did not require transfer to an emergency department. The global urgent care centers market is also becoming increasingly competitive, with a growing number of players entering the space. In addition to standalone urgent care centers, many hospitals  and healthcare systems are also opening their own urgent care centers, as are retail clinics and telemedicine providers.
