In 2023, the number of practicing physicians in urology in Italy stood at approximately 8.15 thousand. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted growth shows a steady but minimal increase in the number of urologists each year: from 8.16 thousand in 2024 to 8.20 thousand in 2028. The year-on-year variation remains almost identical with a slight increase each year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years is projected to be low, reflecting a stable but slow growth trend in the sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in the demand for urologists due to demographic changes, potential increases in urological conditions, and healthcare policy reforms. Additionally, technological advancements could influence the efficiency and specialization within the field, potentially impacting the number of needed professionals.
