Hospitals play a critical role in healthcare, offering specialized treatments and emergency services essential for public health, regardless of economic fluctuations or individuals' financial situations. Rising incomes and broader access to insurance have fueled demand for care in recent years, supporting hospitals' post-pandemic recovery initiated by federal policies and funding. The recovery for many hospitals was also promoted by mergers that lessened financial strains, especially in rural hospitals. This trend toward consolidation has resulted in fewer enterprises relative to establishments, enhancing hospitals' bargaining power regarding input costs and insurance reimbursements. With this improved position, hospitals are expected to see revenue climb at a CAGR of 2.0%, reaching $1.5 trillion by 2025, with a 3.2% increase in 2025 alone. Competition, economic conditions and regulatory changes will impact hospitals based on size and location. Smaller hospitals, particularly rural ones, may encounter more significant obstacles as the industry transitions from fee-based to value-based care. Independent hospitals face wage inflation, staffing shortages and drug supply costs. Although state and federal policies aim to support small rural hospitals in addressing hospital deserts, uncertainties linger over federal Medicare funding and Medicaid reimbursements, which account for nearly half of hospital care spending. Even so, increasing per capita disposable income and increasing the number of individuals with private insurance will boost revenues from private insurers and out-of-pocket payments for all hospitals, big and small. Hospitals will continue incorporating technological advancements in AI, telemedicine and wearables to enhance their services and reduce cost. These technologies aid hospital systems in strategically expanding outpatient services, mitigating the increasing competitive pressures from Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and capitalizing on the increased needs of an aging adult population and shifts in healthcare delivery preferences. As the consolidation trend advances and technology adoption further leverages economies of scale, industry revenue is expected to strengthen at a CAGR of 2.4%, reaching $1.7 trillion by 2030, with steady profit over the period.

Hospitals across the U.S. have been decreasing the number of hospitals beds available. With increasing concerns about the cost of health care, less traditional services and shorter stays have become the norm. The number of beds available in the U.S. greatly depends on the hospital size. As of 2019 there were a total of about *** thousand hospital beds available in hospitals with a *** bed capacity or greater.

U.S. Hospitals

Like the decrease in number of hospital beds, there has been a steady decline in the overall number of hospitals in the U.S. since 1975. Hospitals in the U.S. are becoming increasingly more technological with things like remote patient monitoring and AI. Despite being an important factor in patient health and wellbeing, patients don’t value the up-to-dateness of technology in hospitals as highly as they value other aspects.

Hospital rankings

Hospitals are ranked across the U.S. in a variety of ways. Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami was ranked as the top hospital in 2017 according to the number of beds they had. However, Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas, Texas had the most annual emergency visits in 2018. And, finally, the UCLA Medical Center was ranked as the number one hospital based on the number of organ transplants performed in the last ** years.

Accounting for under 5.0% of US hospitals, children's specialty hospitals are key to pediatric healthcare. And despite pandemic disruptions, industry revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 2.9% through 2025 to total $54.7 billion, with minimal growth of 0.1% in 2025. Several factors drive this growth, which outpaces the expected growth for the hospital sector overall. The closure of pediatric units in some general hospitals led some individuals to seek treatment at specialty hospitals. The rapid adoption of telemedicine, AI-aided diagnostics and monitoring also brought cost savings and expanded markets that contribute to revenue growth. Half of the revenue for children's hospitals comes from private insurance and increases in the number of people with private insurance have contributed to industry performance. However, two-fifths of industry revenue stems from government insurance. In April 2025, ten states remained Medicaid non-expansion states, affecting children's access to health services. Over half of uninsured children reside in non-expansion states, leaving a market segment underserved and a source of future revenue. Children's specialty hospitals' cost challenges are impacted by location. Some rural regions face persistent shortages of physicians and nurses, which leads to wage inflation and impacts service availability. Meanwhile, urban hospitals deal with increased and challenging occupancy rates. While consolidations can ease financial pressure and create economies of scale, advancements in telemedicine and innovations in wearables and medical devices could shift services from smaller rural hospitals to larger urban ones, worsening the imbalance. Looking forward, budget cuts at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), federal agency consolidations and spending cuts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) threaten children's specialty hospitals by undermining pediatric research, potentially stalling advancements in therapies for conditions like childhood cancers and rare diseases. Hospital financial stability and the risk of service reductions will vary by state and require proactive policy advocacy and alternative revenue strategies. Despite funding challenges, demand for services from children's specialty hospitals is expected to remain strong because of the increasing prevalence of conditions like asthma, obesity, diabetes and congenital anomalies in those under 18. Industry revenue will strengthen at a CAGR of 2.6% through the end of 2030, reaching $62.3 billion, with profit as a share of revenue expected to strengthen and surpass pre-pandemic levels.
