Global medical costs to stay elevated in 2025: report

This continues the double-digit growth seen in 2024 and 2023.

Medical costs are expected to remain high at a global average rate of 10.4% in 2025, according to the latest WTW Global Medical Trends Survey. This continues the double-digit growth seen in 2024 and 2023, where costs peaked at 10.7%.

In the Asia Pacific region, the medical trend is projected to rise from 11.9% in 2024 to 12.3% in 2025.

A notable contributor has been the increased use of new medical technologies and pharmaceuticals, which have raised the overall cost of care.

Meanwhile, public healthcare systems have been struggling to meet high demand with limited resources, leading more individuals to turn to private healthcare providers. The surge in healthcare utilisation since the COVID-19 pandemic has also added pressure, further inflating costs.
