HOUSTON, Texas – Plunkett Research, Ltd. recently announced an important market research and competitive analysis report, Health Care Industry Almanac, 2018 edition. A complete market research report, including forecasts and market estimates, technologies analysis and developments at innovative firms.

Health care costs continue to rise in the U.S. Total U.S. health care expenditures were estimated to be $3.54 trillion in 2017, and are projected to soar to $5.55 trillion in 2025. Health spending in the U.S., at about 18.3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2017, is projected to grow steadily. In addition to expected higher costs, attempts by the Trump administration to alter or outright repeal the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) are adding a level of uncertainty to the U.S. healthcare landscape.

Outside the U.S., a comprehensive study published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) covering more than 30 nations found stark contrasts between health costs in the United States and those of other nations. In 2016 (the latest complete data available), the average of a list that includes, for example, the UK, France, Germany, Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Australia and the U.S., spent 8.9% of GDP on health care. The highest figures in this study were in America at 17.2% of GDP, Switzerland at 12.4%, Germany at 11.3%, Sweden at 11.0%, France at 11.0%, Japan at 10.9% The Netherlands at 10.5%, and Norway at 10.5%.

Total health care expenditures around the world are difficult to determine, but $7.5 trillion would be a fair estimate for the formal health care industry for 2017. That would place health care at about 10% of global GDP, with expenditures per capita of about $1,000. This $7.5 trillion breaks down to approximately $3.5 trillion in the U.S., $3.0 trillion in non-U.S. OECD nations and $1.0 trillion elsewhere around the world.

HOUSTON, Texas – Plunkett Research, Ltd. recently announced an important market research and competitive analysis report, Plunkett’s Automobile Industry Almanac, 2018 edition. A complete market research report, including forecasts and market estimates, technologies analysis and developments at innovative firms.

The automobile industry surged ahead worldwide in recent years, with particularly sharp growth in the U.S. and China. Analysts at IHS Automotive forecast the global market at 93.5 million units for 2017. Some of the biggest winners from this surge are Korean automakers with soaring global sales. However, the combination of car sharing strategies, like ZipCar, ride sharing systems like Uber, and autonomous vehicles capable of driving themselves will have very profound effects on automobile manufacturing, usage, sales and ownership patterns. At least in dense urban environments, the result is very likely to be a large proportion of individuals who opt to use shared vehicles rather than user-owned cars.
