The forecast for total knee replacements performed on in-patients in France shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028. It is projected to increase from 138.21 thousand procedures in 2024 to 153.0 thousand in 2028. The anticipated annual growth rates in these years hover around 2.7% to 2.8%, reflecting a steady rise in demand for knee replacement surgeries. In 2023, the count was slightly lower, denoting the continued aging population and advancements in surgical procedures as primary growth drivers.
Key future trends to monitor include:
- Advancements in medical technology improving surgery outcomes and recovery times.
- Demographic shifts, particularly aging populations, increasing the demand for such procedures.
- Potential healthcare policy changes affecting funding and access to surgical interventions.
