The rehabilitative care beds landscape in European hospitals reveals significant variations by country. As of 2024, Germany leads with 161.11 thousand beds, followed by France at 106.77 thousand, and Poland at 70.04 thousand. Italy, Hungary, and Romania have moderate figures, with values ranging from 25.97 thousand to 14.05 thousand beds. Many Western European countries, such as the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Finland, have lower values, highlighting a potential gap in rehabilitative care services.
Year-on-year, Germany saw a slight decline of 0.32%, while France had a modest increase of 0.23%. Poland and Italy showed greater growth, at 0.75% and 0.67% respectively. On the other hand, Belgium and Portugal experienced declines of 2.4% and 2.31%, respectively. Noteworthy are Luxembourg and Denmark, which saw significant increases at 4.42% and 15.61%. Finland saw the largest decrease at 14.81%.
Future trends to watch include continued growth in countries with lower current values, as market demand expands and healthcare policies adapt. Growth in Eastern Europe, driven by Romania and Bulgaria, could be notable. The impact of aging populations across Europe may drive increases in rehabilitative care demands, particularly in countries with currently lower bed availability.
