The number of practicing General Practitioners (GPs) in Germany is anticipated to increase incrementally from 61.87 thousand in 2024 to 63.51 thousand in 2028. Compared to the actual data in 2023, the projected growth is modest, showing a consistent upward trend year-on-year. The year-on-year growth between 2024 and 2025 is approximately 0.68%, gradually declining to about 0.63% annually by 2028.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years marks a stable 0.65% increase per annum. This projection reflects a steady demand for GPs in the forthcoming years, possibly driven by demographic shifts and healthcare policy changes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of aging populations on healthcare needs and GP requirements.
Technological advancements and their role in transforming primary care practices.
Policy initiatives aimed at addressing doctor shortages, particularly in rural areas.
