This represents an annual growth rate, with year-on-year increases of around 0.33 percentage points each year. As of 2023, the share stood at slightly below 3%, marking a notable uptrend as the aging physician workforce continues to grow.

Potential shortages or reallocation of healthcare resources as more physicians reach retirement age.
Technological advancements facilitating the extension of medical practice careers.
