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

In 2023, Luxembourg led Europe in healthcare expenditure on day long-term care through compulsory health schemes, contributing 1.67% of its total health expenditure. Germany, with a marked increase of 12.59% from the previous year, ranked second at 0.38%. Conversely, the Netherlands and Belgium experienced slight declines, while Estonia reported a complete cessation of spending in this category. Notably, Croatia, Lithuania, and other countries exhibited negligible changes. The five-year CAGR shows Luxembourg declining slightly despite leading, while Germany exhibited the most significant upward trend.

Future trends to monitor include potential increases in healthcare expenditure through compulsory schemes in Germany and changes in policy impacting funding across Europe. With aging populations, demand for long-term care solutions continues growing, potentially driving expenditures up, especially in countries with existing robust insurance schemes.
