Ambulatory surgery center industry overview

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global ambulatory surgical centers market will grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of more than 4% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the increasing incidence of chronic diseases as one of the primary growth factors for the ambulatory surgery centers market.

Ambulatory surgery center market growth

The constantly changing eating habits of people across the globe and the sedentary lifestyle greatly impacts the homeostasis of the body. This will make people susceptible to cardiovascular diseases and chronic illnesses. As a result, the coming years will witness an increase in the adoption of minimally invasive techniques such as radiofrequency ablation devices to treat chest and joint pains, dermatological conditions, and liver and kidney problems. Since ambulatory surgical centers use endoscopic procedures and surgical robots to increase the precision and ability of surgeons who perform minimally invasive procedures, a rise in the number of chronic disorders will consequently boost the revenue of outpatient surgery centers.

Ambulatory surgery center market size based on geography

This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, the Americas will be the major revenue contributor to the ambulatory center market throughout the forecast period. The US will be the major contributor in this region where the rise in the incidence of gastrointestinal disorders and chronic diseases such as colon and rectal cancer and severe abdominal diseases drive the market’s growth prospects. Additionally, the increasing number of eye disorders and the awareness about the laser eye surgeries performed in ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), will also propel the growth of the market in this region.
