In 2023, the total knee replacement procedures performed in Italy were approximately 91,000. From the forecasted data for 2024 to 2028, there is a clear upward trend with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.17%. The year-on-year increase is steady, showing 3.35% from 2024 to 2025, 3.21% from 2025 to 2026, 3.09% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.96% from 2027 to 2028. This consistent rise reflects a growing demand for knee replacement procedures, likely driven by an aging population and advancements in medical technology.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of innovative surgical techniques and materials, which could improve outcomes and recovery times. Additionally, health policy changes or resource allocation toward preventive healthcare might influence the demand for surgeries. Monitoring demographic shifts, such as an increasing elderly population, will also be crucial in predicting future procedure volumes.
