In 2024, Luxembourg leads European healthcare expenditure on day long-term care with €127.13 per capita, despite a modest 0.85% growth from the previous year. Sweden follows with €63 per capita, even though it experienced a minor decrease of 0.9%. Ireland ranks third at €50.65 per capita, benefiting from a solid 3.29% increase. Spain and Germany show significant contrasts with Germany growing by a notable 17.81% to reach €23.13, while Spain grows by 2.67% to €25.37 per capita. Belgium, Czech Republic, and the Netherlands each display steady growth ranging from 3.93% to 12.11%. On the other hand, Italy and the United Kingdom witnessed declines of 4.41% and 8.25%, respectively. Iceland experienced the most substantial decrease of -34.13%.

Looking ahead, future trends in European healthcare expenditure on day long-term care will likely focus on increasing investments in digital health solutions, and home-based care support, and addressing demographic changes. Monitoring emerging technologies, government policies, and healthcare reforms will be vital in predicting the direction of expenditure variations across different countries. Special attention should be given to fast-growing markets like Germany, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, which have shown significant year-on-year growth, as well as potential shifts in countries with declining expenditure such as Iceland and the United Kingdom.
