How much a doctor earns in the USA by specialization

A $4 trillion market and 18% of the U.S. GDP

Did you know that the medical market is always booming in the United States?

According to data from CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), the total amount spent for public and private health insurance-related activities in the United States will grow by 2.7% in 2021, exceeding 4 trillion US dollars . This represents more than 18% of the US GDP, making the US medical and pharmaceutical market the largest in the world!

In 2021 alone, spending related to medical services and medical clinics exceeded $864 billion in the US territory. 

55 Million Older People Need Medical Services

The aging trend in the U.S. population has contributed to the increase in this number - 17% of it was 65 or older in 2020, which represents 55 million people, an increase of 15 million seniors over the 2010 data released by the U.S. government.

80 million elderly people by 2040

According to projections from the US Department of Health, by 2040 there will be a population of more than 80 million residents over the age of 65, more than twice as many as in the 2000s. And this is excellent news for the health care market, because the average elderly person will spend up to five times as much per year on medical expenses as a child, and three times as much as an American adult.

High demand for health professionals

One of the main advantages of the medical market in the US for physicians is the high demand for healthcare services. With a population of over 330 million people, there is a constant need for medical care throughout the country. This means that physicians have the opportunity to find work in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, private practices, and non-profit healthcare organizations.

Not only gerontology has a growth trend in the American domestic market, but also all other medical specialties, as patients have various needs from different specialties at the same time.
