European Household Expenditure on Health Services by Country

In 2024, Switzerland leads European household expenditure on health services, with 7.05 thousand euros per capita, significantly higher than the next highest, Luxembourg, at 1.53 thousand euros. Germany and Finland follow with values just above 1.2 thousand euros. The lowest expenditure is observed in Macedonia at 0.066 thousand euros. Over the last two years, Croatia has seen the highest year-on-year growth at 17.42%, followed by Romania at 14.8% and Lithuania at 11.43%. Noticeably, Cyprus is the only country with a negative growth rate of -14.47%.

Key future trends to watch include potential increases in expenditure in Eastern European countries like Romania and Poland, which have seen significant growth rates. Western European countries with established healthcare systems such as Switzerland and Germany may experience consistent but slower growth. Monitoring policy changes and economic developments which could impact household spending on health services across Europe will be crucial.
