European Healthcare Expenditure on Therapeutic Appliances and Medical Durable Goods by Hospitals Share by Country (Million Euros)

In 2023, France led the European healthcare expenditure on therapeutic appliances and medical durable goods by hospitals, with a value of 75.16 million euros. Switzerland followed with 21.66 million euros, while Malta reached 1.97 million euros. The Czech Republic and Latvia spent 0.68 and 0.27 million euros, respectively. Slovenia, Portugal, Poland, Belgium, Cyprus, Lithuania, and Liechtenstein contributed marginally.

Year-on-year analysis reveals notable growth in Malta (16.76%) and Latvia (11.31%), while a minor decline occurred in Portugal (-0.078%). Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate has highlighted consistent rises in these expenditures, particularly in emerging markets.

Future trends to watch include increased healthcare spending across Europe driven by aging populations and technological advancements in medical goods. The sustainability of this growth will depend on economic conditions and healthcare policies. Monitoring shifts in policy focus towards preventive care and the adoption of innovative therapeutic devices could significantly impact future expenditure patterns.
