European Healthcare Expenditure on Outpatient Curative and Rehabilitative Care by NPISH Financing Schemes Share by Country (Million Euros)

The United Kingdom leads European healthcare expenditure on outpatient curative and rehabilitative care by NPISH financing schemes, with significant spending compared to other countries. Spain and Austria follow at a considerable distance. The period from 2023 shows varied trends, with Austria and Croatia displaying strong growth, marked by 13.83% and 14.87% increases, respectively. Conversely, Switzerland saw a sharp decline of 37.43%, and Portugal decreased by 3.29%. Some countries like Cyprus and Romania, although smaller in absolute expenditure, exhibit notable increases of 8.45% and 17.94%, suggesting dynamic change in some eastern European countries.

Future trends to watch include:

• Potential stabilizing growth patterns in mature markets like the UK and Germany.
• Emerging upticks in Eastern and Southern Europe which may diversify the demand landscape.
• The impact of policy changes and digital health integration, potentially driving efficiencies in NPISH financing across Europe.
