In France, healthcare expenditure on imaging services has shown a complex trajectory. Between 2013 and 2018, there was a modest year-on-year increase, peaking at 0.87 in 2018. However, 2019 and 2020 saw a decline, with a significant dip during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The recovery in 2021 to 0.86 was not sustained, and by 2022 and 2023, expenditures had decreased to 0.73 and 0.69, respectively. Notably, 2023 ended 5.48% lower than 2022. The 5-year CAGR from 2019 to 2023 stands at -4.53%, indicating a declining trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of advancements in imaging technology, changes in healthcare policies, and the influence of economic factors on budget allocations for imaging services. The forecasted 5-year CAGR of -4% suggests a continued decline through 2028. However, unexpected shifts in the healthcare landscape or technological innovations could alter this trajectory.
