European Healthcare Expenditure on Providers of Preventive Care by Household Out-of-Pocket Payment Share by Country (Million Euros)

In 2023, Switzerland led European expenditure on preventive care by household out-of-pocket payment, followed by Italy and the Netherlands. While Norway saw a growth, Sweden's out-of-pocket share significantly declined. Smaller markets like Cyprus noted substantial increases, whereas Latvia, Liechtenstein, and others experienced minor contractions. Countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria remained stagnant. The estimated trends present a varying landscape with some countries experiencing declines and others showcasing moderate growth.

Looking to the future, increased technological integration and policy shifts towards preventive care can drive higher expenditures. Countries with lower current shares might exhibit more dynamic growth as public health initiatives and consumer awareness increase.
