According to the Eurostat data, Germany had the highest level of current healthcare expenditure among the EU Member States, valued at €432 billion in 2020. Following Italy ($160 billion) and Spain ($120 billion) in terms of current healthcare spending was France ($281 billion). More than any other EU Member State, current healthcare spending in Germany and France was comparable to 12.8% and 12.2% of GDP, respectively. The ratios in Austria (11.5%), Sweden (11.4%), the Netherlands (11.1%), and Belgium (11.1%) were the following highest. Spain, Portugal, and Denmark were the only EU Member States to record double-digit ratios. Luxembourg and Denmark incurred the greatest current healthcare expenditures among EU Member States in 2020, in euro terms and relation to population size (€5, 875 per inhabitant and €5, 642). Hence, the rising healthcare sector in Europe will help in the expansion of the regional healthcare sector.
