Increasing geriatric population is leading to rising demand for medical services and shortage of nurses and other medical staff. The cost-effectivity of temporary staffing is likely to drive the market in the coming years.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), around 500,000 nurses will retire over the next few years. Also, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, there will be a shortage of around 21,000 to 55,200 primary care doctors by 2032. The shortage of physicians in the coming years is likely to drive the market. In addition, the increasing need for a home care workforce, such as dieticians, nutritionists, nurses, therapists, and home care aides, is also expected to boost the market growth.

Technological advancements are one of the major drivers of rising healthcare employment. With the advent of various innovations, such as telehealth and medical informatics, the need for skilled labor to handle both technical and non-technical aspects of these devices has increased. Hence, recruitment of new professionals along with training of existing ones has become essential. The flexibility in work timings and attractive wages are primary reasons for the increasing number of nurses becoming per diem and travel nurses.

A rising number of medical facilities and new construction projects are anticipated to create more jobs for medical professionals. For example, in April 2021, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced USD 1 Billion support for health centers' construction and renovation projects from the American Rescue Plan. The aforementioned factors are anticipated to propel market growth.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for staffing services and workforce technology solutions increased dramatically. The increasing incidence of COVID-19 infections significantly fueled the demand for travel and per diem nurses. According to a poll conducted by Avant Healthcare Professionals, 90% of the medical facilities accepted using travel nurses for management of COVID-19 patients in 2020, compared to less than 60% in 2019. On the other hand, the demand for locum tenens specialists and allied health professionals decreased due to the cancellation of elective surgeries.

Type Insights

Travel nurse staffing dominated the market with a share of 40.36% in 2022 and is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 6.38% during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high pay, travel opportunity, and short-term assignments. Furthermore, in response to increasing medical expenses, hospitals are forced to reduce their staff. Hence, they opt for these services to ensure that nurses are available when the workload increases.

On the other hand, the locum tenens staffing segment is anticipated to witness maximum growth during the forecast period. The rising shortage of primary care physicians and specialists and hospitals hiring locum tenens in peak seasons to reduce cost are primary reasons for the growth of the segment. According to Staff Care’s 2020 Survey of Temporary Physician Staffing Trends report, nearly 52,000 physicians were working as locum tenens in 2019. An increasing number of physicians preferring to work as locum tenens is likely to favor the segment growth.

Allied healthcare professionals include physical therapists, medical technologists, pharmacists, dental hygienists, phlebotomists, radiographers, pathologists, and others. Improving access to public healthcare, growing retired baby boomers, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases are likely to drive the segment growth.
