From 2013 to 2023, the number of for-profit privately owned hospital beds in Denmark exhibited fluctuations, declining sharply from 355 units in 2013 to 310 units in 2015. However, the trend started to reverse post-2015, with intermittent growth leading to 353 units in 2023, showing a modest 0.57% year-on-year increase from 2022.
