In 2023, the number of cholecystectomy procedures performed in Canada stood at a higher volume compared to subsequent years. The forecast from 2024 through 2028 indicates a consistent year-on-year decline, with the number of surgeries dropping steadily from 29.43 thousand in 2024 to 25.06 thousand in 2028. This represents an overall decreasing trend with a reduction rate averaging around 3.8% per year over the five-year period. The percentage decline from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 3.78%, followed by a similar trend through 2028.
Factors to watch in the future include advancements in non-surgical treatments for gallbladder diseases, which could further decrease demand for cholecystectomies. Additionally, increased focus on preventive healthcare and the adoption of healthier lifestyles may contribute to the declining trend.
