In 2023, hospital discharges for medical abortion in Germany were recorded at 10.6 units per hundred thousand persons. From 2024, forecasts suggest a slight decline, stabilizing at 10.5 units for 2024 and 2025, then dipping to 10.4 units through to 2028. This indicates a minor year-on-year decrease from 2026 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for:
