Beyond Traditional Care: How Europe’s Top Hospitals Are Winning
Why Europe’s Hospital Services Market Demands Your Attention Now
Europe’s Other Hospital Services Market is at a pivotal crossroads. With aging populations, rising patient
expectations, and post-pandemic financial pressures, healthcare providers must rethink service delivery—or risk
falling behind. Did you know? By 2030, over 30% of Europe’s population will be over 60, drastically increasing demand
for integrated care. Meanwhile, digital health investments in the EU have surged by 47% since 2020 (OECD, 2023).
For healthcare executives and policymakers, understanding these shifts isn’t just beneficial, it’s essential for
survival.
