In the Netherlands, the number of hysterectomies performed is expected to decline steadily over the next few years. In 2023, the actual number of procedures stood at 9.5 thousand. The foreseen figures for 2024 to 2028 indicate a downward trend, reducing from 9.2 thousand in 2024 to 8.49 thousand in 2028. On a year-on-year basis, the variations show slight decreases: -1.95% from 2024 to 2025 and -2.00% from 2025 to 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 suggests an average annual decline rate of about -1.88% over this five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in medical technology, increased awareness and uptake of alternative treatments, and shifts in demographic factors such as an aging population and changes in women's health policies. These factors may influence both the demand for and the practice of hysterectomies in the coming years.
