Forecast: Healthcare Expenditure on Outpatient Curative Care in Germany

In 2023, healthcare expenditure on outpatient curative care in Germany stood at approximately 2.56% of GDP. Forecasts indicate a modest annual increase, reaching 2.60% by 2028. Year-on-year variations are minor, averaging around 0.39% annually as a CAGR from 2024 to 2028. This slight upward trend reflects increasing demand for outpatient services amid Germany's aging population and innovations in healthcare delivery.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Technological advancements in outpatient care that could drive efficiencies and cost management.
• Potential policy changes affecting healthcare funding and reimbursement mechanisms.
• The impact of demographic shifts, especially in light of a growing older population demanding more outpatient services.
• Economic factors that might influence overall GDP and, consequently, the relative allocation to healthcare.
