Forecast: Healthcare Expenditure on Specialised Outpatient Curative Care in Germany

The healthcare expenditure on specialized outpatient curative care in Germany is set to increase steadily from €25.7 billion in 2024 to €27.95 billion by 2028. This reflects a rising trend with year-on-year growth percentages consistent around 2 to 3%. Assuming the expenditure in 2023 was around €25 billion, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period stands at approximately 2%. Such an upward trajectory suggests sustained demand for outpatient services due to an aging population and advances in medical technology.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Potential policy changes affecting healthcare budgets and funding allocations.
• Technological innovations leading to more efficient outpatient care delivery.
• Demographic shifts, particularly the increasing elderly population, which will likely drive higher service demand.
