From 2013 to 2023, healthcare expenditure on outpatient curative care in Poland demonstrated fluctuating growth patterns with some peak and dip years. The highest year-on-year increase occurred in 2017 at 22.76%, followed by a significant decline in 2018 by -7.3%. Over the last five years leading up to 2023, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) was 0.24%, indicating a relatively stable but marginal growth rate.

In 2023, the expenditure stood at 1.67 units of GDP, reflecting a slight rise of 0.6% from the previous year. Subsequent forecasts suggest a steady, minor annual increment leading up to 2028, maintaining a consistent value of 1.7 units of GDP from 2026 onward.

Technological advancements in outpatient care leading to either cost savings or additional investments.
Economic fluctuations which may influence the GDP and subsequently the allocated healthcare budget.
Population aging and related demand for curative healthcare services.
