European Healthcare Expenditure on Curative Care and Rehabilitative Care by Providers of Ambulatory Health Care by Country

In 2023, Germany led European healthcare expenditure on curative and rehabilitative care by ambulatory providers with €99.92 billion, followed by France and the UK with €56.48 billion and €41.06 billion, respectively. Italy, Spain, and Switzerland follow, with increased spending in smaller economies such as the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Slovenia, observing notable growth. Germany, Switzerland, and Ireland showcased robust growth rates in expenditure from the previous year. Growth across these nations is fueled by an increasingly aging population and rising demand for medical services.

Future trends indicate a continued upward trajectory in healthcare expenditure across Europe. This trend is driven by advancing healthcare technology, an aging demographic, and policies enhancing access to ambulatory care. Countries with historically lower expenditure, notably Eastern European countries, are predicted to experience more rapid growth rates as healthcare infrastructure development intensifies.
