European Healthcare Expenditure on Residential Long-Term Care Facilities by Compulsory Contributory Health Insurance Schemes and Compulsory Medical Saving Accounts (CMSA) by Country

In 2023, the Netherlands led European healthcare expenditure on residential long-term care facilities through compulsory contributory health insurance schemes, with 25.15% of total current health expenditure. France (6.41%) and Luxembourg (6.28%) followed. Estonia showed notable growth with an 8.45% increase over the previous year, while Liechtenstein saw the sharpest decline at -3.02%. Over five years, a mixed trend emerged, with different countries experiencing growth and contraction. The sector's outlook is influenced by demographic shifts, technological advances, and governmental policy changes.

Future trends to monitor include:

• Increasing aging populations placed greater demand on long-term care services.
• Technological developments in healthcare management and remote care.
• Potential reforms in health financing and insurance schemes across European nations.
• Changing preferences toward home-based care solutions over residential facilities.
