The number of in-patients for non-residents in Germany is forecasted to grow very slightly from 0.53 to 0.54 million by 2026, showcasing an almost stagnant growth trajectory between 2024 and 2028. Up until 2023, the actual figure stood still, reflecting stability.
The year-on-year variation is minimal, barely registering a noteworthy percentage change, highlighting a potentially mature or saturated market segment. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period underlines a marginal rise, indicative of limited growth dynamics.
Future trends to keep an eye on include:
- Changes in global mobility and tourism which could impact non-resident patient numbers.
- Regulatory shifts in medical tourism policies across Europe.
- Advancements in telemedicine potentially reducing the need for in-patient stays.
