The forecast for total knee replacement procedures in Germany shows a gradual upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The number of procedures planned starts at 196,370 in 2024, increasing steadily to 203,480 by 2028. This forecast demonstrates an approximate annual growth rate of 0.91%, suggesting consistent demand over the five-year period. Compared to the previous year of 2023, when actual procedures stood at approximately 194,500, the increase reflects a growing need due to factors such as an aging population and advances in surgical technology.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in medical technology potentially reducing recovery times and increasing procedure demand.
Demographic changes, with an aging population likely to increase the number of procedures.
Economic factors affecting healthcare budgets and potentially influencing procedure accessibility and volume.
