In 2023, the number of open prostatectomy procedures performed in Italy was 84 units per hundred thousand men. Forecasts show a steady increase: in 2024, this number is expected to be 84.8, rising to 85.6 in 2025, 86.2 in 2026, reaching 86.7 by 2027, and further climbing to 87.1 by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.95% from 2023 to 2024, and similar incremental growth rates in the subsequent years. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at around 0.72%.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in minimally invasive procedures, which could impact the number of traditional open surgeries. Additionally, shifts in population demographics, healthcare policies, and increased awareness and screening for prostate conditions could further influence these trends.
