Forecast: Out-of-Pocket Health Expenditure in France

In 2023, France's out-of-pocket health expenditure made up approximately 5.6% of total health expenditure. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 predict a slight decline, from 5.6% in 2024 to 5.32% in 2028. Year-on-year changes reflect a gradual decrease, around 1.4% on average, suggesting a continuous, albeit minor, downward trend in individual health cost burdens.

Future trends to watch include potential policy changes in healthcare funding, shifts in insurance coverage, and economic conditions that may influence private health spending. Monitoring these factors will be essential for understanding long-term expenditure trends.
