The forecast for out-patient medical care in Norway from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual increase in value from 5.5 million to 5.62 million persons. In 2023, the actual number stood at 5.47 million persons. Although the year-on-year growth percentages between each year from 2024 to 2028 are relatively modest, calculating the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates an average annual increase. The trend suggests a stable and continuous rise in out-patient medical care needs through 2028.
Future trends to watch include demographic changes such as aging populations, technological advancements in medical care, policy changes in healthcare, and the potential impacts of socio-economic factors. These can all influence the demand and provision of out-patient medical services in Norway.
