The forecast for total knee replacement procedures in Canada shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the value stands at 216.2 procedures per hundred thousand persons, with consistent year-on-year increases projected at around 2.3% to 2.4%, reaching 236.1 by 2028. Compared to 2023 levels, which were slightly lower, this reflects a robust upward trajectory driven by an aging population and increasing mobility demands.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in surgical techniques and prosthetics which may further boost demand.
Policy changes regarding healthcare funding and resource allocation that could impact procedural volumes.
Potential shifts in demographic factors, especially related to aging populations, influencing the rate of surgeries.
