- Ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), offering same-day surgical care including diagnostic and preventive procedures, are becoming integral to the healthcare system due to their cost-efficiency, shorter recovery times, and ability to alleviate pressure on hospitals by managing high surgical volumes in outpatient settings
- The growing demand for ASCs is primarily fueled by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing geriatric population, and expanding preference for minimally invasive procedures that require shorter stays and quicker discharge
- The market is witnessing strong growth due to a high number of facilities, favorable reimbursement policies, and growing investments in outpatient infrastructure, particularly in areas with rising healthcare needs and aging populations
- Demand is expected to grow rapidly in regions with expanding healthcare access, increasing insurance coverage, and rising demand for technologically advanced outpatient services
- The orthopedic segment dominated the ambulatory surgical centers market with a market share of 30.5% in 2024, propelled by the surge in sports injuries, joint replacements, and musculoskeletal disorders, alongside innovations in arthroscopic and robotic-assisted surgical techniques
