European Healthcare Expenditure on Therapeutic Appliances and Medical Durable Goods by Compulsory Contributory Health Insurance Schemes and Compulsory Medical Saving Accounts (CMSA) Share by Country (Million Euros)

In 2023, France led European healthcare expenditure on therapeutic appliances and medical durable goods funded through compulsory contributory health insurance schemes, with €43.37 million. Germany followed at €38.52 million, while the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Austria reported €4.84 million, €3.52 million, and €3.16 million, respectively. Countries like Ireland exhibited the fastest growth in 2023, showing an 8.29% increase, while some, such as Greece, experienced declines. Over the past five years, expenditures have generally risen, reflecting the importance of healthcare investment. The combined annual growth has been steady, highlighting a consistent upward trend in most countries.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Continued EU-wide investments in healthcare infrastructure, particularly in the wake of increasing healthcare demands and aging populations.
• An amplified focus on innovative medical durable goods, driving expenditure up as technology advances.
• Expansion of compulsory medical saving accounts across more countries, influencing expenditure patterns.
• An increased emphasis on value-based care, which may shift investment priorities within therapeutic appliances.
