In 2023, Italy's long-term care bed density was 90.5 beds per 1,000 persons. From 2024 to 2026, this density is forecasted to remain steady at 100 beds per 1,000 persons. However, starting in 2027, a decrease is projected, with density dropping to 90 beds per 1,000 persons through 2028. This represents a 10% reduction in bed density from 2026 to 2027. The predicted CAGR from 2024 to 2028 suggests a -2.6% annual average decrease.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential impacts of demographic shifts, such as an aging population, on the demand for long-term care services.
Changes in healthcare policies and funding that might affect bed availability.
Technological advancements that could influence long-term care delivery and efficiency.
