High Focus on Employer-Sponsored Medical Health Coverage Drives Global Occupational Health Market

Health coverage provided by employers plays a vital role in the recruitment and retention process of any organization. For instance, as mentioned in a report by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 56% of the US adults carrying employer-sponsored insurance coverage stated that health coverage is a crucial factor influencing their decision to continue their jobs. Additionally, 46% said that job-based health coverage positively influences the selection of new jobs. Employer-based health insurance covers 152 million employees in the US. Per the NISKANEN Center’s report, a high share of employees’ benefits from the health insurance coverage provided by their employers is one of the most distinctive features of the healthcare system in the US. Also, ~50% of the top firms offer tele-behavioral health consultations for mental health care, accounting for a 50% increase compared to previous years. The Health Opportunities for People Everywhere (HOPE) project report highlights that job-based coverage is essential to the US healthcare system, and it is the most common source of coverage, offering insurance to more than 150 million Americans.

In Europe, employer-provided insurance acts as a cornerstone in the healthcare system, covering almost 200 million Europeans, thus resulting in innovation and ultimate improvement of overall healthcare at workplaces. However, employer-sponsored health insurance (ESHI) is becoming unaffordable for family businesses. Moreover, worker premiums have risen rapidly in the past few years. Nevertheless, supportive policy provisions limit the rise in premium amounts designated to employees, thereby improving the affordability of job-based insurance for employees. Also, workable and affordable policies assist healthcare systems by safeguarding insurers from high costs and curbing the unhealthy practices of dominant health systems imposing high prices. Curbing excessive prices of job-based insurance would result in higher wages and job growth, lower premiums, and cost-sharing for families, reducing the burden on taxpayers. This factor further contributes to greater access to more affordable healthcare worldwide, thereby favoring the growth of the occupational health market.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on industry, the occupational health market is segmented into automobile, chemical, engineering, government, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, ports, and others. The government segment accounted for the largest occupational health market share in 2022, and the oil & gas segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. The risk and hazard profile for any government organization depends on the nature of the work activities and the overall work environment. For instance, the hazards and risks for employees working in government offices and handling administration work differ from those for employees working in the enforcement and emergency services departments. Hazard identification and risk assessment processes help identify the relevant risks and draft a feasible action plan. A large section of workers in noncommercial state agencies and civil services work from offices and engage in administration activities. Hazards and risks in this environment must be identified while accounting for all the risks faced by employees, contractors, service users, and the public. People working in government offices also fall victim to bullying at work and workplace stress; moreover, manual material handling, fire, and falls severely harm their health. Employers from the government sector must follow the Workplace Health and Safety Management Guidance manual to avoid these hazards. The risk and hazard associated with the government sector fuel the growth of the occupational health market for this segment.  

Regional Analysis:

North America dominates the global occupational health market. The North America occupational health market size was valued at US$ 1,997.85 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 2,529.51 million by 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period. The North America occupational health market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. Increasing awareness about occupational health among people and a rising number of aging individuals in the workforce are the factors propelling the growth of the North America occupational health market. The US has a vast number of manufacturing companies. Most employers in the US focus on compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. The work-induced stress causes ~120,000 deaths yearly, incurring US$ 190 billion in healthcare costs. NIOSH recommends that 30 million US workers are exposed to noise levels high enough to cause irreversible hearing loss. Also, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that more than 20,000 workplace-related hearing loss cases occur every year, resulting in permanent hearing loss among workers. A recent case-control study stated that the risk of occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD) rises with increasing age (especially among people older than 65), number of cigarettes smoked, and duration of exposure. According to this report, the number of older adults aged 65 or above in the US would rise from ~46 million in 2022 to ~90 million by 2050.
