KOF Forecasts of Swiss Health Care Expenditures
Contracted by Comparis the KOF publishes forecasts for Swiss health care expenditures. The forecasts are for the three breakdowns by ʽfunctionsʼ, ʽby providersʼ, and ʽby financingʼ.
KOF maintains an econometric model, which reflects developments in the individual categories. In this model, economic and demographic trends constitute the major determinants for expenditures in the health system. The predictions on the economy and demography required by the model are taken from the KOF economic forecasts and the demographic scenarios of the Swiss Federal Statistical Office. In addition to the model computations, the Health Care Expenditure Forecasts include specific factors such as health policy measures.
KOF publishes a press release and a report in German twice a year with in-depth commentaries on the forecasts.

Healthcare expenditure rises to over CHF 100 billion
Healthcare spending in Switzerland continues to grow. KOF expects this expenditure to rise from CHF 95 billion in 2023 to over CHF 106 billion in 2026, with per-capita healthcare expenditure likely to reach almost CHF 11,600 by the end of 2026. And the importance of the healthcare sector in terms of GDP will also continue to increase. These are the key findings of KOF’s health expenditure forecast, which was compiled with the help of a research contribution from comparis.ch.
