European Healthcare Expenditure on Outpatient Curative Care by Country

The 2024 forecast shows Liechtenstein with the highest per capita expenditure on outpatient curative care, closely followed by Switzerland and Denmark. In 2023, Norway and Luxembourg experienced a slight decline, while Slovenia, Malta, and Latvia exhibited double-digit growth rates. Countries like Austria and Spain also saw significant rises in expenditure. Over the last five years, the expenditure trajectory indicates robust growth in several Central and Eastern European countries, with Latvia, Malta, and the Czech Republic leading the way in CAGR terms.

Future trends to monitor include potential growth in Eastern Europe as healthcare infrastructure improves, balancing of expenditures in Nordic countries due to demographic changes, and implications of digital health adoption across Europe, prompting shifts in outpatient care dynamics. Additionally, macroeconomic factors and policy shifts will play critical roles in shaping future expenditure patterns.
