South West Healthcare Market Insight 2025
Welcome to our South West Healthcare Market Insight 2025.
This report highlights key demand drivers across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and West Dorset, and examines the profile of the current stock of elderly care home beds and the significant opportunity for new build development.
Key Themes
“Smaller, converted homes are often well-placed to cater to their local markets, particularly in areas with lower population density. However, rising demand and a shortage of modern wetroom facilities present a strong opportunity for regional and corporate care operators to gain an early mover advantage by investing in new developments in the region. Alternatively, operators can look to retrofit or reconfigure older stock that may not align with the latest market standards, thereby enhancing their competitiveness and future-proofing the homes. With the sector evolving to meet growing demand, strategic investment in high-quality care facilities will not only address existing gaps but also position operators for long-term success in an increasingly competitive market.”
