Download our sample report **The Homecare and Supported Living UK Market Report, Seventh Edition by LaingBuisson is indispensable reading for anyone involved in this fragmented and rapidly evolving market. This report provides key analysis for advisors, investors, commissioners, policymakers, service providers and other stakeholders invested in the sector** Authored by respected social care commentator William Laing, this edition provides fully updated insight into a sector supporting around 915,000 adults in England and encompassing almost 18,000 regulated services across the UK. With the latest data from 2024/25, the report provides a comprehensive analysis of a market now valued at £15.1bn . It reflects an increasingly diverse provider landscape, marked by the growth of supported living, the persistence of small-scale micro-providers, and ongoing shifts in how care is delivered between settings. Alongside refreshed data and market modelling, the report assesses the key dynamics reshaping the sector, including continued expansion in commissioned supported living hours, changing approaches to local authority commissioning, and major disruption to workforce supply following recent immigration policy reforms that have reduced access to overseas care workers. Together, these factors are redefining service capacity, staffing structures and market entry conditions.
