Urgent Care Centers Market Outlook:
Urgent Care Centers Market size was valued at USD 29.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 46.9 billion by 2035, growing at around CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026 to 2035. In 2026, the industry size of urgent care centers is estimated at USD 30.2 billion.
The worldwide market is rapidly growing on account of increasing demand for convenient, accessible, and cost-effective healthcare services. In this regard, the study by the Journal of Health Economics in May 2023 found that the entry of UCCs in a zip code led to a rise in Medicare spending, with no improvement found in terms of mortality. Besides, six years after UCC entry, annual per-capita Medicare spending increased by a remarkable USD 268, marking a rise of $6,335 per new UCC use, highlighting their role as referral hubs within hospital networks.
In addition, technological advancements such as telehealth integration and electronic health records are enhancing efficiency and quality of care. This can be testified by the article published by NIH in April 2025 that found that between October 2021 and September 2024, there were 5,343,465 UCC index visits which users included 85.31% adults (18+), 17.17% seniors (65+), and 54.87% females, with 41.31% identifying as Hispanic. These figures reflect the strong demand and digital readiness for targeted online urgent care marketing.
