In 2023, the number of hip replacement procedures performed on UK patients stood at 195.98 units per hundred thousand persons. The forecast for subsequent years shows a steady increase: 197.74 in 2024, 199.48 in 2025, 201.18 in 2026, and reaching 202.84 by 2027. The year-on-year variation reveals a consistent growth of approximately 0.9% to 1.0% annually. Over the last two years, the rate has increased by a total of around 1.8%, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years is about 0.9%.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in surgical techniques and materials, leading to possibly higher success rates and shorter recovery times, which could further increase the demand for hip replacements. Additionally, an aging population may contribute to rising numbers of procedures, while innovations in preventive health and non-surgical treatments might impact future projections.
