UAE Home Healthcare Industry Analysis

The UAE home healthcare market is expected to grow from USD 1.18 billion in 2025 to USD 1.31 billion in 2026 and is forecast to reach USD 2.19 billion by 2031 at 10.84% CAGR over 2026-2031. Steady expansion reflects compulsory national health insurance that came into force on 1 January 2025, rising chronic‐disease prevalence, and rapid uptake of digital health tools. Private equity inflows, particularly from PureHealth and other regional investors, continue to consolidate service capacity, while AI-driven telehealth platforms increasingly shape patient expectations. Growth potential is further reinforced by Abu Dhabi and Dubai initiatives that promote virtual nursing, predictive analytics, and unified licensing to streamline clinician deployment across emirates. Medium-term opportunities will emerge in the Northern Emirates, where newly insured expatriate workers broaden the eligible user base for home-based therapies.

UAE Home Healthcare Industry Trends and Insights

Nationwide Mandatory Health Insurance Rollout (2025)

Compulsory basic coverage, priced at AED 320 (USD 87.0) per beneficiary, now extends to roughly 3 million workers who previously lacked formal access to healthcare services. The scheme standardizes home-care benefits across all seven emirates, eliminating gaps that once deterred expatriates from seeking professional in-home support. Co-payments have been set at 20% for inpatient and 25% for outpatient episodes, with no waiting periods for pre-existing conditions—a notable catalyst for wider adoption of domiciliary chronic-disease programs. Providers anticipate an immediate volume uplift, especially for low-income migrant families located in the Northern Emirates. Early insurance claims data show a surge in reimbursed home nursing visits, confirming latent demand previously suppressed by cost barriers.

Aging Resident Base & Chronic-Disease Burden

Cancer remains the UAE’s third leading cause of death; breast, colorectal, and thyroid malignancies together represent a growing caseload that benefits from post-acute home programs. Diabetes afflicts 1 in 20 residents, creating sustained need for medication reconciliation services and glucose monitoring in domestic settings. The National Policy for Senior Citizens emphasizes mobile clinics and caregiver training, prompting providers to bundle physiotherapy and nutritional counseling into turnkey home packages. As median age rises, demand concentrates in Abu Dhabi and Dubai but is spreading to peripheral emirates through outreach partnerships. Long-term care strategies therefore hinge on scalable workforces trained in geriatrics, wound care, and palliative support.

Shortage Of Licensed Home-Care Clinicians

The UAE has 29,860 physicians and 63,366 nurses serving 11.35 million residents, an insufficient ratio for the rising caseload of in-home therapy. Tax-free wages up to USD 270,000 entice expatriate specialists, yet turnover persists due to cultural adjustments, language gaps, and housing costs. The October 2024 unified licensing reform eases credential transfers but cannot offset nationwide supply constraints. Providers therefore rely on tele-supervision models and international recruitment drives, especially for ICU and geriatric nurses.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Digitally Enabled Remote-Monitoring Initiatives
  2. Post-Covid Preference for In-Home Care
  3. Limited Device Reimbursement By Insurers

Segment Analysis

Therapeutic products held 46.28% of the UAE home healthcare market share in 2025. The segment benefits from high chronic-disease incidence that necessitates medication management and IV infusions at home. Device safety standards under ISO 13485 and Ministry registration requirements favor established vendors with robust quality dossiers. Mobility care products follow in revenue, yet they post the fastest 11.21% CAGR thanks to growing post-operative rehab demand and the senior citizen policy that supports assistive technologies.

Diagnostic products remain a smaller but strategic niche, capitalizing on telemedicine and AI image-analysis innovations. The UAE home healthcare market size attached to diagnostic kits will scale as insurance begins to reimburse remote testing bundles. Stakeholders therefore invest in Bluetooth glucometers and portable spirometry lines, betting on AI algorithms that flag anomalies before outpatient visits.

Rehabilitation therapy commanded 37.74% of the UAE home healthcare market size in 2025. Early hospital discharge policies and value-based reimbursement tilt volumes into the community, making physiotherapy and occupational therapy core revenue lines. Respiratory therapy, at an 11.37% CAGR, is lifted by COPD, post-Covid fibrosis, and environmental allergens.

Infusion therapy, though niche, rides oncology and long-term antibiotic protocols. Amana Healthcare’s regional expansion showcases profitable complex case management frameworks that integrate pharmacy logistics, nurse call centers, and emergency back-up teams. Other ancillary services, including wound and ostomy care, add cross-sell potential, forging comprehensive care plans that insurers increasingly favor.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
