In 2023, the total number of knee replacement procedures performed in Switzerland was 23.44 thousand. The forecasted data from 2024 indicates an upward trend, with values projected to reach 24.63 thousand by 2027. The year-on-year growth rates are relatively stable, with slight increases observed annually: approximately 1.28% growth from 2023 to 2024, 1.31% from 2024 to 2025, 1.20% from 2025 to 2026, and 1.19% from 2026 to 2027. Over the five-year period from 2023 to 2027, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is around 1.26%, indicating a steady rise in the number of procedures.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in surgical techniques and prosthetic materials, which could potentially increase the efficiency and outcomes of the procedures, potentially leading to higher uptake. Another trend to monitor is the potential impact of demographic changes, such as an aging population, which may further drive demand. Additionally, healthcare policy changes and economic factors could also significantly influence the number of procedures performed.
