In 2024, the forecast indicates that open prostatectomy procedures in Germany will total 28.63 thousand, down from an actual figure of 28.63 thousand in 2023. The year-on-year decrease continues through 2028, with a projected value of 25.45 thousand. The percentage decrease each year averages around 3% from 2024 to 2028. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a consistent decline.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in minimally invasive procedures may continue reducing demand for open prostatectomies.
Aging population might slightly increase surgery numbers, but may not offset declines due to alternative treatments.
Healthcare policy changes and innovations in disease management could further influence downward trends.
