This marks a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 1.75% to 1.65% in the early forecasted period, signifying a consistent upward trend in the volume of these surgical procedures.
In 2023, the actual number of procedures stood at 19.08 thousand. Over the past two years leading up to 2024, the average annual growth rate, or CAGR, was around 1.75%. This trend reflects a gradual rise in the necessity or preference for open prostatectomy.
As we look to future trends, key aspects to watch include advancements in less invasive surgical alternatives, the impact of demographic changes such as an aging population, and evolving healthcare policies and funding. These factors could significantly influence demand and procedural volume in the coming years.
