In 2023, the density of long-term care beds was 155 hospital beds per 1,000 persons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts predict a consistent decrease in bed density from 150 in 2024 and 2025 to 140 from 2026 onwards. The year-on-year variation shows a stable environment in 2024 and 2025 with no change, followed by a 6.67% decrease at the start of 2026. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decline due to reduced bed density projections.
Future trends to watch include increasing demand for long-term care due to an aging population, which might drive innovation in alternative care models outside traditional facilities, impacting bed density predictions.
