Forecast: Private Health Insurance Coverage in Austria

The private health insurance coverage in Austria showed a consistent growth from 2013 to 2023, standing at 3.49 million units in 2023. However, the yearly increase and the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years have been gradually decreasing. The year-on-year growth dipped to 0.85% in 2023, while the CAGR over the last five years was just 1.17%, reflecting a slowdown in the growth rate.
