From 2013 to 2023, healthcare expenditure by government schemes in France showed a notable increase, peaking in 2020 at 5.51 units of total current health expenditure, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The year-on-year variations reveal several significant trends: a steady rise from 2013 to 2019, a sharp increase in 2020, and a significant drop in 2021 followed by a robust recovery in 2022. The CAGR over the last five years up to 2023 indicates a slight downward trend of -0.3% per year.
Looking ahead, the forecast from 2024 to 2028 projects a relatively stable expenditure with marginal increases, culminating in 5.21 units by 2028. The 5-year growth rate of 0.19% and a forecasted CAGR of 0.04% suggest minimal annual growth in healthcare expenditure.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of ongoing or new healthcare policies and reforms on expenditure.
- Potential shifts due to economic factors or health crises.
- Technological advancements and their effects on healthcare costs.
- Demographic changes, particularly the aging population, and subsequent healthcare demand.
