US Healthcare Industry Overview: Consumer Trends
- Consumers across all generations express a desire to feel valued within the healthcare system, but many do not, particularly marginalized communities and aging women. There is a general increase in trust in individual medical professionals, though trust in the system as a whole remains a challenge.
- The introduction of technology, such as telehealth and health apps, is met with both interest and doubt. While consumers are interested in the efficiency and personalization these technologies can offer, there is also concern about the safety of medical information, particularly among Gen Z, due to a rise in health cyberattacks.
- The healthcare market is driven by a rapidly aging population, which is straining the system. These consumers often prefer in-person interactions, presenting a challenge for the adoption of telemedicine. There are opportunities for healthcare brands and insurance companies to increase trust and loyalty by providing incentives for proactive healthcare, bridging accessibility gaps, and offering education on personalized experiences like menopause.
