The global ambulatory surgery centers market size is expected to reach USD 191.5 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.18% from 2023 to 2030. Key factors driving the market growth for ambulatory surgery centers include an increase in the number of surgeries, the growing burden of chronic diseases, and the rising geriatric population.
The number of patient admissions is slowly decreasing in hospitals, owing to increasing outpatient visits. This is primarily due to high hospitalization costs and the adoption of technologically advanced methods in outpatient centers, making treatments fast and cost-effective. Advanced surgical techniques allow tests and procedures to be performed without hospital admission. Increasing pressure from Medicare and payers has also increased the number of people opting for a diagnostic test in nearby community ambulatory care units compared to a city hospital.
Furthermore, the introduction of nonsurgical procedures and minimally invasive surgeries supported by technological advancements have reduced the duration of hospital stays, reducing healthcare expenditure. For instance, endoscopy and laparoscopic technology development has reduced the need for hospital admissions. According to Cleveland Clinic in 2022, approximately 13 million laparoscopic surgeries are conducted globally each year. Some surgeries, such as cataract surgery that earlier required a hospital stay, can now be completed in a day in outpatient or ambulatory centers.
Key participants are engaged in different strategies to expand their global footprint through innovations, partnership collaborations, and product launches. For instance, in January 2023 , McLeod Health announced its partnership with Wesmark Ambulatory Surgery Center to expand its reach of hospital systems & offer multi-specialty services of ambulatory surgery for the Sumter community in South Carolina. Centura Mercy Hospital and United Surgical Partners International partnered in July 2022 to establish an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) in Colorado, as part of Centura Mercy Hospital's commitment to providing superior treatment.
