The forecast for caesarean sections performed in France from 2024 to 2028 indicates stability with minor increases each year. From a baseline in 2023, the number of procedures per thousand live births increases marginally year-on-year, maintaining a steady trend. This limited variation suggests a plateau in surgical interventions relative to live births. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the 5-year period from 2023 to 2028 is effectively flat, highlighting minimal growth.
Future trends to watch include potential impact of evolving healthcare policies, advances in maternal-neonatal care, and changing demographic factors which could alter caesarean rates significantly. Monitoring these will provide early indicators of shifts in surgical birth practices.
