As of 2024, cataract surgery procedures performed per hundred million persons in Italy are forecasted to begin at 1.04 units, gradually increasing each year to reach 1.18 units by 2028. Comparing this with prior data, a steady annual increase is evident. Between 2024 and 2025, there’s a 3.85% growth, followed by a 3.7% increase from 2025 to 2026, then a 2.68% rise from 2026 to 2027, and finally a 2.61% growth from 2027 to 2028. The compounded average growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 through 2028 predicts a consistent upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include advances in medical technology, regulatory changes, and shifts in demographic aging, which could further influence the demand for cataract surgeries. An aging population, increased healthcare accessibility, and adoption of innovative surgical techniques are likely to maintain or amplify current growth trajectories.
