Forecast: Healthcare Expenditure on Over-The-Counter Medicines in Germany

Based on the forecast data, Germany's per capita expenditure on over-the-counter (OTC) medicines is expected to increase steadily from 100.83 Euros in 2024 to 116.91 Euros in 2028. This represents a consistent upward trend, with a year-on-year growth rate averaging around 3.71%. This growth can be attributed to factors such as an aging population, increased health awareness, and self-medication trends.

Future trends to watch include:

• Technological advancements in health monitoring appliances that may fuel demand for OTC medications.
• Health policy changes that could affect pricing and accessibility.
• Shifts in consumer behavior towards natural and alternative remedies.
