Over the past decades, health technologies have made a major contribution to improving the health status of populations . At the same time, during the 1995–2005 period the countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have witnessed an annual average health expenditure growth per capita of 4%. Growth in health expenditures outpaced the economic growth of 2.2% during the same period. Health expenditure growth can be attributed to a number of factors, including ageing populations, the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, health care resource use price inflation, technological advances, and increased expenditures on drugs. With respect to the latter, annual average growth in pharmaceutical expenditure per capita of 4.6% during the 1995–2005 period exceeded the annual rise in health expenditures .

The requirement for health economic assessment fits within an overall trend towards evidence-based decision making in health care.
