European healthcare expenditure on long-term care shows a significant variation between countries, with Norway leading at 30.03% of total current health expenditure, followed closely by the Netherlands and Sweden. On the opposite end, Slovakia spends only 0.44%. Year-on-year variations indicate a mixed trend: notable increases in countries like Poland (9.25%) and Slovenia (3.1%), contrasted by significant decreases in Bulgaria (-5.09%) and Croatia (-6.76%). Over the last couple of years, major fluctuations were observed, particularly in Bulgaria, which saw a staggering increase of 127.39% in 2023.
Future trends to watch include the potential for expenditure growth in emerging economies as they strengthen their long-term care infrastructure. Additionally, the impact of aging populations in countries like Norway, Netherlands, and Germany may continue to drive higher investments in long-term care. Conversely, economic constraints could lead to reduced spending in certain regions.
