The forecast for the average length of stay for renal failure cases in Germany indicates a gradual decline from 8.8 days in 2024 to 8.4 days in 2028. As of 2023, the actual average length of stay was 8.9 days. This denotes a negative trend, with the year-on-year decrease consistently at 1.1% across the forecasted period. Looking over the five-year forecast, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a decrease of approximately 1.15% per year.
As hospitals continue to improve care protocols and implement advanced renal treatment technologies, the length of stay is expected to decrease further. However, trends to watch include the impact of demographic changes and potential resource constraints that could influence the future efficiency of renal care management.
