Key Market Indicators
**Croatian Vaccination Coverage Stagnates, Imports on the Rise** Croatia's vaccination coverage for children aged one is projected to remain steady at 93% by 2028, showing no change from 2023. This stability in coverage reflects a broader trend observed since 2005, where the market has experienced a slight annual decrease of 0.2 percentage points. In a related segment, the vaccination coverage for children aged one is also expected to remain unchanged at 94% by 2028, maintaining the same rate as in 2023. This consistency has been a hallmark since 1997, with no significant variation reported over the years. Meanwhile, the country's vaccine imports are on an upward trajectory. By 2028, vaccine imports are estimated to reach approximately $15.8 million, up from around $14.2 million in 2023. This represents an annual growth rate of 1.5%. Historical data since 1997 shows a steady increase in demand, with imports rising by an average of 1.4% each year. On the export front, Croatia saw a dramatic spike in 2018, with vaccine exports totaling roughly $250,000, up from just $1,930 in 2017. This staggering increase of 12,850% highlights a significant, albeit irregular, shift. However, since 1997, the overall trend for Croatian vaccine supply has been a decline, with an average annual decrease of 32.1%.
