The healthcare expenditure on general outpatient curative care in Poland has shown a consistent increase over the past decade, with notable year-on-year variations. In the most recent years, the growth rate has slowed down, with a year-on-year increase of 3.25% in 2023 bringing the expenditure to 5.39 billion Euros. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) up to 2023 is 3.28%, indicating a deceleration compared to earlier periods.
From 2024 onward, the forecast data suggests a continued but moderate increase in expenditure. The projected CAGR over the next five years is 1.57%, leading to a forecasted value of 5.99 billion Euros by 2028, reflecting an 8.08% total growth over this period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of demographic changes, particularly aging population, on outpatient care demand.
- Innovations in healthcare technology which might affect cost structures and expenditure.
- Policy changes and healthcare funding reforms which could alter growth trajectories.
- The integration of digital health services and their impact on overall expenditure.
