In 2023, 74.3% of women aged 50-69 in South Korea were screened for breast cancer. The forecast data for the following years shows a subtle but consistent upward trend. From 2024 to 2028, the percentage of screened women increases from 74.5% to 75.1%. This represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.27% for each successive year from 2024 to 2028. Over a five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects a stable, modest growth in the breast cancer screening rate of about 0.21% per year.
Trends to watch for include potential impacts of public health policies, awareness campaigns, and advancements in healthcare technology on the screening rates. Also, keep an eye on demographic shifts and their potential effects on healthcare services demand. Any economic fluctuations and their impact on healthcare funding and access should also be considered. Monitoring these factors will provide insights into the sustainability and potential acceleration of the observed trends.
