In 2023, the number of paediatric ICU beds in France was lower than the forecasted 1.34 thousand beds expected in 2024. Over the following years, a consistent increase is evident with values reaching 1.44 thousand by 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 2.24%, with a similar trend continuing annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reveals a steady average yearly increase, indicative of a slight yet stable expansion of paediatric ICU capabilities.
Future trends to watch for include updates in healthcare infrastructure policies which could affect the expansion rate, advances in pediatric care technology, and demographic changes influencing demand for ICU beds in France.
