European Healthcare Expenditure on Therapeutic Appliances and Medical Durable Goods by Government Schemes by Country

In 2023, European healthcare expenditure on therapeutic appliances and medical durable goods exhibited diverse trends by country. Malta led in per capita spending at 166.18 euros, with a significant year-on-year increase of 19.32%. Conversely, the UK saw a decline of 1.34%, while Germany and the Netherlands reported moderate increases. Over the past five years, Malta experienced the fastest growth in expenditure. Other notable growths were in Latvia and Belgium. A decrease in expenditure was observed in Spain and France.

Future trends to watch include the potential for continued growth in countries like Malta and Latvia due to their increasing healthcare needs. Conversely, challenges in the UK and Spain might hinder expenditure growth unless policy changes occur. Innovation and improved healthcare infrastructure may drive increases across Europe, particularly in countries previously showing lower investment.
