The healthcare expenditure on hospitals in France has seen fluctuations over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, expenditure varied with a mix of growth and contractions, peaking with robust growth of 11.85% in 2020 due to heightened healthcare needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, subsequent years saw declines or only marginal increases, with 2023 recording a slight growth of 0.44%, standing at 4.54% of GDP.
Future trends to watch for:
- Stabilization of expenditure growth with a forecasted average annual increment (CAGR) of 0.13% from 2024 to 2028.
- Potential impact of France's healthcare policy changes and digital health advancements on hospital expenditure.
