[sara James]

The global Ambulatory Surgery Centers Market size is expected to reach USD 120.8 billion by 2026, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period. Increase in incidence of chronic diseases and rise in geriatric population have furthered the demand for ambulatory surgery centers. Furthermore, advancements in surgeries, such as endoscopy and laparoscopy, are expected to propel ASC market growth.

The number of patient admissions is slowly decreasing owing to increasing outpatient visits. This is primarily due to high hospitalization cost and adoption of technologically advanced techniques in outpatient centers, making treatment fast and cost-effective. Advanced surgical methods allow tests and procedures to be performed without hospital admission. According to the American Hospital Association, the total number of outpatient admissions increased from 624 million in 2008 to 675 million in 2012. The number of inpatient admissions decreased from 35.76 million in 2008 to 34.40 million in 2012.

In May 2016, some new codes were added to the coverage for outpatient services in U.S., such as that for gynecology, adenoidectomy, and tonsillectomy. Hence, supportive reimbursement scenario is anticipated to boost market growth.

North America held the dominant share in 2018, driven primarily by U.S. Leading market players in the country are acquiring ambulatory services to provide technologically advanced surgeries and treatments, further propelling demand for ambulatory and primary care services. Asia Pacific is likely to emerge as a strong contender in the global scenario. Some of the prominent players in this region are Surgery Center of Melbourne, Nova Medical Centers, Kaiser Permanente, The Indian Association of Day Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering, M D Anderson Cancer Center, and The Mumbai Surgical Society.
