Healthcare Staffing Market to Reach USD 62.77 Billion by 2030, Driven by Geriatric Care and Chronic Disease Needs

Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the Healthcare Staffing Market, offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.

Introduction

Healthcare organizations worldwide are confronting growing pressure to maintain adequate staffing levels in the face of demographic shifts and rising disease burdens. The Global Healthcare Staffing Market, valued at USD 45.24 billion in 2025, is projected to climb to USD 62.77 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.77% over the period. This robust outlook stems from multiple structural factors. An aging global population is increasing demand for long-term and acute care, while the growth of chronic diseases necessitates sustained medical staffing. Both public and private providers are turning to outsourced staffing models spanning travel nurses, locum tenens, per diem nurses, and allied health professionals to fill intermittent shortfalls, support service expansion, and adapt to seasonal and regional care demands. This analysis examines the forces shaping this market, the key service segments, notable market participants and geographical dynamics through to 2030.

Key Trends

1. Surging Demand Driven by Aging Population

By mid-2022, individuals aged 65 and over made up around 10% of the world's population; projections indicate this will rise to 16% by 2050 Older adults typically require heightened levels of healthcare services-from chronic condition management to rehabilitative support. As permanent staffing remains insufficient, providers are increasingly relying on flexible external staffing models to maintain quality and capacity of care.

2. Rising Incidence of Chronic Conditions

Conditions like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease continue to surge globally. For instance, in 2023, the American Cancer Society estimated nearly 2 million new cancer diagnoses in the United States alone-up from around 1.92 million in 2022. Managing such caseloads requires skilled healthcare workers across settings, reinforcing demand for outsourced staff.

3. Flexibility Gained Through Temporary Staffing

A July 2023 study in the European Journal of Operational Research highlighted the adaptability that temporary staffing offers-enabling institutions to scale their workforce to meet spikes in patient demand or compensate for permanent staff absences This "on-demand" model is gaining traction, helping facilities avoid overstaffing costs while ensuring continuity of care.

4. Regional Growth Dynamics

North America continues to lead the market, supported by its mature healthcare infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and insurance systems that facilitate staffing services Notably, Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region, reflecting expanding healthcare capacity, rising incomes, and growing awareness of non-permanent staffing solutions.

Conclusion

The Global Healthcare Staffing Market is positioned for steady growth, expanding from USD 45.24 billion in 2025 to USD 62.77 billion in 2030. Key drivers include demographic shifts toward an aging population, rising prevalence of chronic disease, and the increasing preference for adaptive staffing models that allow healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care without excessive fixed labor costs.

North America will remain the dominant region, while Asia-Pacific is projected to grow most rapidly. Within services, nurse-centric categories-travel and per diem-continue to lead in volume, supported by growing demand for allied and locum staffing. Prominent staffing firms remain central, leveraging scale, service breadth, and process technologies to sustain advantages.

Healthcare providers should evaluate external staffing as a strategic lever-not just for short-term needs, but as a long-term operational ally. Investors and industry observers should follow regional and segment-specific trends, such as emerging demand in senior care or physician staffing in emerging regions, which may signal new avenues for growth and collaboration.
