From 2013 to 2023, healthcare expenditure on outpatient curative and rehabilitative care in France exhibited a generally upward trend, increasing from €722.44 per capita in 2013 to €918.8 in 2023. Noteworthy fluctuations include a significant decrease of 4.94% in 2020, likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a robust recovery with a 12.41% increase in 2021. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averaged 2.3%. Variations were relatively modest in the subsequent years, with a minor dip of 0.29% in 2022 and a slight rise of 2.09% in 2023.
Looking forward, forecasted data suggest continued growth, albeit at a slower pace. By 2028, expenditures are expected to reach €1000 per capita, reflecting a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 1.35% and an overall growth rate of 6.95% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of technological advancements in healthcare, shifts in health policy, and demographic changes such as aging populations which may drive demand for outpatient care. Monitoring these variables will be crucial for accurate forecasting and strategic planning.
