The forecast for total mastectomies performed on in-patients in Germany indicates a slight year-on-year decline starting from 2024, with values decreasing from 26.66 thousand procedures to 26.32 thousand by 2028. This steady decline results in an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.3% over the five-year period. In 2023, the level stood at 26.75 thousand procedures, highlighting a continuous downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in non-invasive treatments potentially decreasing demand for surgical procedures.
Improved early detection methods which may either increase early-stage interventions or reduce intensive surgical interventions.
Changes in healthcare policies affecting in-patient care could also impact procedure volumes.
