In 2023, the total knee replacement procedures in Germany stood at 10.5 units per thousand persons aged 65+. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a stable trend with gradual increases, from 10.6 units in 2024 to 10.7 units in 2028. Year-on-year variation indicates negligible changes with a consistent forecasted increase by 0.1 units only between 2026 and 2027. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years is modest, suggesting steady demand.
Future trends to watch include demographic shifts like an aging population which might increase demand, healthcare policy changes, and technological advancements in surgical procedures potentially influencing growth rates. Additionally, factors such as healthcare funding and policy reforms could affect future procedure volumes.
