From 2013 to 2023, the number of practising physicians in Gastroenterology in France showed a steady increase from 3.57 thousand to 3.89 thousand, with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.54%. Year-on-year growth varied, peaking at 1.79% in 2016 and moderating to 0.52% by 2023. This consistent upward trend reflects a growing demand for gastroenterological services. Looking ahead to 2028, the forecasted growth slows slightly, with a projected 5-year CAGR of 0.38%, suggesting more stable future growth.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advances in gastroenterological treatments and technologies could drive demand for specialized training and services.
- Potential shifts in healthcare policies and funding may influence the supply and demand for gastroenterologists.
- Demographic changes, such as an aging population, may increase the prevalence of gastroenterological conditions, thereby boosting the need for more practitioners.
