Rising Aging Population
Germany's aging demographic increases demand for health and medical insurance, as older individuals typically require more healthcare services and coverage. According to industry reports, Germany’s population age 65 years and older is projected to grow by 41%, reaching 24 million by 2050 and accounting for nearly one-third of the total population. Meanwhile, the population aged 15 to 64 is projected to decrease by 23%, from about 53 million in 2015 to around 41 million by 2050. In Germany, the super-aged population enjoys a high healthy life expectancy, with three-quarters of individuals aged 65 and older reporting that they still feel fit.
Increasing Government Regulations and Policies
Supportive government policies and regulations, including mandatory health insurance, ensure a broad base of insured individuals, thereby bolstering the market. For instance, starting from January 1, 2024, statutory health insurance contributions in Germany increased by 0.1 percentage points. This means that health insurance contributions are now as high as 1.7%. The decision has been announced by the Federal Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach, in a bid of the same to close the approximately €17 billion deficit which is expected in 2024. Finance Minister Christian Lindner emphasized that tax subsidies to statutory health insurance cannot be increased, leading to the necessity of this slight contribution rate rise. Lauterbach reassured that there will be no reductions in benefits and highlighted that the minimal increase is a positive step to bolster trust in social security systems. However, the 1.7% rate is not uniform across all insurance companies, as some may adjust their minimum contribution rates, according to Anne Klemm, board member of the umbrella association of company health insurance companies (BKK). Health insurance is mandatory for all residents in Germany, including foreigners. The country offers both public and private health insurance options, with public insurance available to employees below a certain income threshold and private insurance an option for higher earners or self-employed individuals.
