Business Environment Evaluation of Domestic Hospital Industry

Demand Environment Analysis

Despite 12.9% of high annual medical expenses on average in 2000s, the figure is still less than that of advanced nations, which means the industry has high growth potential
Rapid aging has impact on an increase in per capital medical expenses and the number of hospital visits and hospitalization days, directly affecting a growth in the medical market. It is evaluated that this internal factor has a more influence on a medical market growth than macro index

Supply Environment Analysis

Domestic medical institutions have recorded 3.8% of average annual growth rate since 2000. Among them, a growth of small-sized hospitals was outstanding. In particular, nursing homes showed high average annual growth rate of 51% during the same period
Although a growth of medical institutions is low compared to a market growth, that growth is maldistributed by region, size and type of hospital. Accordingly, most investment is made in the capital area and acute care oriented investment is made by large hospitals
For this reason, it is worried that regional small- to mid-sized hospitals with less than 200 beds and nursing homes are likely to go bankrupt
As a result of comparing the number of people per hospital by region and bankruptcy rate, Jeonbuk area, Daegu and Kwangju showed relatively excess supply


Analysis of Performance of Domestic Hospital by Region

Performance data of 103 hospitals provided by the National Tax Service and the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service was analyzed
Despite economic slowdown, target hospitals recorded better results in profitability and efficiency (operating profit rate, ordinary profit rate and sales per bed) in 2009 than the previous year
However, regional performance difference was outstanding. In particular, profit structure of hospitals in Kyongnam and Kangwon areas was relatively weak and Daejeon metropolitan city showed lower performance than any other metropolitan areas
