The number of hip replacement procedures in Italy is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, with a projection of 122.73 thousand in 2024 to 129.42 thousand in 2028. The average annual growth rate from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent upward trend in demand for these surgeries.

Year-on-year analysis shows increases of approximately 1.38% from 2024 to 2025, 1.35% from 2025 to 2026, 1.32% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.28% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is modest yet positive, reflecting stable growth.

Future trends to watch for:

Advancements in surgical techniques and postoperative care could boost procedure numbers as they improve outcomes and recovery times.
Aging population dynamics might accelerate growth in hip replacements, especially if accompanied by increased awareness and accessibility.
Healthcare policy changes and budget allocations will also play a crucial role in meeting the rising demand.
