The share of male practising physicians aged 55-64 in Germany is expected to decline from 19.54% in 2024 to 18.44% by 2028. This represents a gradual decrease with year-on-year variations as follows: -1.64% for 2025, -1.51% for 2026, -1.37% for 2027, and -1.23% for 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is approximately -1.5%.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from retirement rates among older physicians and policies aimed at retaining older professionals in practice. Additionally, changes in healthcare demands and gender balance among new medical graduates could further influence these figures.
