In 2023, Germany and the United Kingdom led Europe with the highest share of Caesarean Section procedures, accounting for 18.25% and 16.55% respectively. France and Poland follow, though they experienced a decline, much like Italy and Spain. Conversely, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, and Denmark have shown noticeable year-on-year growth, indicating regional variance in procedural trends. Countries like Lithuania, Romania, and Spain faced significant drops. Looking at the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past five years, the average yearly variation provides a deeper understanding of these trend shifts.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in surgical methods, healthcare policy changes, and demographic shifts influencing the need and accessibility of Caesarean Sections across Europe. Emerging markets in Eastern Europe and the integration of AI in healthcare could also play pivotal roles in shaping these trends.
