In 2023, the number of Caesarean sections performed in France stood at 143.27 thousand procedures. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline, beginning with 141.82 thousand in 2024 and decreasing to 136.31 thousand in 2028. Year-on-year analysis indicates a consistent trend with approximately 1% to 1.2% annual decrease. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects this gradual downturn.
Future trends to monitor include potential improvements in prenatal care and education, which could further reduce the need for Caesarean sections. Additionally, enhancements in surgical techniques might impact rates differently across regions in France.
