The forecast for open prostatectomy performed on in-patients in Germany shows a gradual decline from 35.79 units per hundred thousand persons in 2024 to 35.11 units in 2028. In comparison, the previous year 2023, registered a total of 35.96 units per hundred thousand persons. This analysis indicates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.48% from 2023 to 2024, and an average annual decrease of about 0.48% over the following years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be approximately -0.48%.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in minimally invasive procedures, which may further reduce the number of open prostatectomies, and demographic changes, such as an ageing population, which may impact the overall number of procedures performed. Additionally, improvements in preventive healthcare and early detection may also influence future trends in prostatectomy rates.
