In 2023, the density of adult ICU beds in Germany stood at 300 beds per 100,000 persons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a decline initially, with a decrease from 290 beds in 2024 to a stable 280 beds from 2025 onwards. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 3.3% from 2023 to 2024 and stabilization thereafter. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, there is an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.76%, signaling a slight downward trend in the ICU bed density.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of healthcare policies in Germany aimed at optimizing hospital resource allocations, technological advancements, and shifts in population demographics that could influence ICU bed requirements and distribution.
