As of 2024, the UK is forecasting a steady increase in hip replacement procedures among in-patients, starting from 133.71 thousand procedures. In 2025, the number is expected to grow to 135.31 thousand, representing a 1.2% year-on-year increase. This upward trend continues with a 1.2% increase in 2026, reaching 136.87 thousand procedures.

Future trends to observe include the potential impact of technological advancements in surgical techniques and personalized medicine, which could further influence the volume of procedures.
