The forecast for the number of practicing physiotherapists in Italy shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the number is projected at 72.95 thousand, growing to 78.58 thousand by 2028. If we consider the value for 2023 was below the 2024 starting point, this marks consistent year-on-year growth. The year-over-year growth percentages over this period indicate steady increases, reflecting a CAGR that supports this upward momentum over these five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increasing demand due to an aging population requiring physiotherapy services.
Potential growth in specialized physiotherapy fields as healthcare delivery continues to evolve.
Technological advancements fostering more efficient therapy options and possibly influencing the number of practitioners needed.
Healthcare policy changes impacting professional training or practice environments, which could alter future growth rates.
