According to Nova one advisor, the U.S. & Europe Ambulatory Surgery Centers market size was estimated at USD 70.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to hit around USD 109.8 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.

Key Takeaways:

  • In Europe, the plastic surgery segment is expected to witness a high growth rate during the forecast period owing to the growing trend of body shaping and the increasing number of cosmetic and aesthetic procedures in the region
  • U.S. held the largest market share in 2022, attributed to a shifting trend towards day surgery, technological advancements, and the presence of a large number of ASCs chains in the country. In addition, the availability of Medicare coverage for many complex procedures performed at ASCs is another key factor driving market growth
  • Increasing adoption of technologically advanced products in ambulatory surgery centers has changed the way surgeons operate in these facilities. For instance, robotic-assisted endoscopy for diagnostics and the use of robotic surgical systems for MIS procedures are some examples of why ASCs are gaining the market share
  • Mergers and acquisition and partnership for facility expansion are the key strategies followed by the market leaders.

Increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), technological developments in surgical devices and equipment, and surgeons’ control over the choice of such equipment are some of the factors responsible for the market growth. Other factors such as an increase in the incidence of chronic diseases and a rise in geriatric population and thus rising requirement of cost-effective and efficient treatments also contribute to the growth. Rising healthcare costs is anticipated to play a vital role in increasing focus on ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). These centers allow healthcare professionals to make healthcare services more affordable without having to compromise on the quality of care. This factor is expected to bode well for the market growth in the forthcoming years.

The Medicare-certified ambulatory surgery centers with registered doctors, nurses, and physical therapists at Medicare-certified offer surgical treatment at a low cost. Demand for ASCs is gaining traction for minimally invasive surgical procedures in several fields, including neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and cosmetic surgery. The number of inpatient admissions has significantly decreased in the past years, due to the trend shifting toward ASCs.

In the U.S., more than 65% of total surgeries are performed in ambulatory surgery centers. This is primarily due to high inpatient hospitalization costs and a rise in the adoption of advanced technologies by the ASCs, enabling the provision of rapid and cost-effective treatment.

The use of robotic surgical systems for performing complex surgical procedures and the integration of advanced visualization systems at ASCs are the major factors driving the growth of the market. Rising numbers of mergers and acquisitions are projected to create growth opportunities for the key players operating in the market.
