The forecast indicates a decline in the share of practicing general practitioners in France, moving from 29.17% of total physicians in 2024 to 27.56% by 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a consistent downward trend. The year-on-year percentage change shows a steady decrease, with the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period emphasizing a diminishing role for general practitioners among the medical profession. This decline may point to underlying issues in healthcare recruitment or shifts in physician specialization preferences.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes aimed at balancing physician distribution, technological advancements that could impact general practice needs, and demographic shifts influencing demand for general practitioners in the healthcare sector.
