The data indicates that Belgium’s public health insurance coverage was at 98.5% of the population in 2023. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast shows a slight and consistent increase, reaching 98.7% by 2025 and stabilizing at that level through 2028. Specifically, the year-on-year variation shows minimal growth of about 0.1% from 2023 to 2025 and zero variation from 2025 onwards. Over the last two years, there is a total increase of 0.1%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last 5 years remains low, reflecting the high saturation point in public health insurance coverage.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of demographic changes such as aging populations and policy reforms in the healthcare sector. Additionally, tracking any socioeconomic shifts or public health crises that may influence insurance coverage will be crucial. There is also a potential for digital health innovations to play a role in maintaining or possibly increasing coverage rates.
