Healthcare expenditure on therapeutic appliances and medical durable goods in Poland has exhibited a declining trend since 2018. The spending relative to GDP remained stable at 0.15 from 2013 to 2015, then dropped slightly in 2016 followed by fluctuations and a steady decline from 2018 onwards. By 2023, expenditure was at 0.13 of GDP, experiencing no yearly change from 2019 to 2023. The forecast indicates a continued gradual decrease, reaching 0.11 by 2028, with an anticipated average annual decline (CAGR) of -1.73% over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in durable medical equipment might influence expenditure patterns.
- Government policies targeting healthcare funding and subsidies might mitigate or exacerbate the forecasted decline.
- Demographic changes, particularly aging populations, could spur increased demand despite the declining trend in per GDP expenditure.
