The range of services offered by specialist practices for certain illnesses, injuries or preventative measures is essential for healthcare and is benefiting from the ageing population and rising patient numbers. Sector revenues have risen by an average of 10.3% per year over the past five years. The capped budgeting of services and the cost increases in energy, rents and wages, which have not been adequately refinanced, have put increasing pressure on the earnings situation of industry players in recent years. Specialist practices in energy-intensive areas such as radiology or neurology have been particularly hard hit by rising energy prices.In addition to various cost increases, structural problems such as a worsening shortage of skilled labour and excessive bureaucracy are putting a strain on outpatient care structures. An increasing number of requirements, documentation obligations and checks are taking up time and increasingly restricting the time and localisation of patient care. There is a threat of long waiting times for specialist appointments, an ongoing freeze on the admission of new patients and further service cuts for patients in specialist practices. This development in turn puts a damper on revenue growth.The orientation value negotiated by the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds for 2024 is to be increased by 3.85%, meaning that specialists will receive more money for the same amount of services. However, this increase is unlikely to fully cover the cost increases for rent, energy and practice requirements. In 2024, the salaries of medical assistants alone have risen by 7.4% across all pay scale groups.In 2025, turnover in the sector is expected to amount to 47.1 billion euros. This corresponds to a decline in turnover of 0.6% compared to the previous year. Rising operating expenses, cost increases due to innovations and the growing need for medical care due to an increasing number of patients are leading to a continuous rise in financial expenditure and putting pressure on the profitability of many practices. A further increase in remuneration rates is expected accordingly.IBISWorld expects industry turnover to increase at an average annual rate of 1.5% over the next five years and reach 50.6 billion euros in 2030. The increasing level of digitalisation and rising investment in new medical technology equipment should lead to more efficient practice processes. Against the backdrop of a shortage of skilled labour, however, the supply bottleneck is likely to worsen in the coming years and place an additional burden on the workforce. In all likelihood, waiting times for specialist appointments will continue to rise as a result and fewer new customers will be able to be accepted.

On average, the industry recorded an annual increase in turnover of 17.7% between 2020 and 2025. In January 2023, the list of diagnoses was expanded, meaning that long-term prescriptions can now be issued for more illnesses. This had a positive impact on service utilisation and sales. Prices for physiotherapy and physiotherapy treatments also increased. However, these increases in turnover were almost completely eaten up by inflation: The increases in remuneration were not enough to offset the inflationary price pressure.In light of the cost increases in 2023 and 2024, the physiotherapy associations and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds have agreed on an increase in physiotherapy service remuneration of 6.4% (8.5%), starting in January 2024 (2023). The new state aid regulations are likely to provide an impetus for growth. Since November 2024, remedies in the field of physiotherapy have been reimbursable as part of a blank prescription, while occupational therapy has been reimbursable since August. This means that practices can invoice their services directly to the health insurance companies and do not require a new medical prescription. This new room for manoeuvre should have a positive impact on sales development.In 2025, the sector is expected to generate turnover of €40.9 billion, which corresponds to growth of 0.9% compared to the previous year. From 2025, German companies must be able to receive electronic invoices. However, the mandatory use does not apply to tax-free services, such as medical services, small amounts and invoices to private patients.The industry will benefit from the rising demand for healthcare services in the coming years. Due to the ageing population and the increased willingness of patients to make more co-payments for healthcare services, annual revenue growth of 2.1% on average is expected in the period from 2025 to 2030 and industry revenue of 45.3 billion euros in 2030. One challenge is the shortage of skilled labour, which is jeopardising medical care for the growing number of patients. The high bureaucratic administrative burden ties up staff and further exacerbates this problem. Digitalisation and telematics infrastructure are having an increasing impact on the development of the healthcare professions and will contribute to improving healthcare. At the same time, the implementation of digital processes can relieve the burden on staff and better counter the shortage of skilled labour. The challenges will lie in information and data security.
