The global ambulatory services market size is expected to reach USD 1.2 trillion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.29% from 2023 to 2030. The key factors driving the ambulatory services market growth include an increase in the number of surgeries, the growing burden of chronic diseases, and rising geriatric population.
Additionally, the growing demand for ASC has led several hospitals to establish outpatient facilities to serve public healthcare needs. Furthermore, the cost of ambulatory surgeries is a primary factor aiding the expansion of these services. According to an article published by Ambula Health, the cost for ambulatory surgeries is estimated to be 45% to 60% lower than identical surgeries performed in an inpatient hospital setting.
In the United States, around 500,000 lumbar spine operations are conducted annually. According to a recent survey by Annals of Translational Medicine of academic spine surgeons, 49% of them currently have free-standing surgery centers. In addition, advancements in procedures are anticipated to boost the market. Technological advancements in these surgeries have facilitated increased demand for ambulatory care centers, where surgeons use minimally invasive procedures to diagnose/treat patients. According to Stryker, the largest orthopedics firm by revenue, 10% of joint replacements are performed in ASCs, and Stryker anticipates that number to grow over the next five years.
The key participants are engaged in different strategies to expand their global footprints with innovation, partnership collaborations, and product launches. For instance, in May 2022, VCU Health System announced that it has opened its first ASC. The short pump location offers surgical services to the patient on the same day. With six new operating rooms, VCU Health System is expanding access to high-quality care outside the traditional hospital setting for about 100 to 125 patients a week. Additionally, the patients benefit from the latest techniques, including minimally invasive, diagnostic & preventative procedures.
