India Ambulatory Surgical Centers Market Trends:

Growing Demand for Healthcare Services for the Elderly

Chronic illnesses are becoming more prevalent among India's elderly, with major variations between rural and urban locations. Hypertension and diabetes are the most frequent chronic disorders affecting the elderly. This increased healthcare need is propelling the growth of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) across the country, particularly in metropolitan areas where the senior population is more likely to develop chronic illnesses. ASCs are gaining momentum because they provide cost-effective, efficient, and less invasive treatment choices for older patients seeking outpatient care. As the older population grows, the demand for specialized, accessible healthcare services will drive the expansion of ASCs, boosting overall healthcare infrastructure and patient outcomes. According to industry reports published in 2022, around 21% of India's elderly population is reported to suffer from at least one chronic disease, with significant differences between rural and urban areas. In rural areas, 17% of seniors are affected, while the figure rises to 29% in urban regions. Hypertension and diabetes are the most prevalent chronic conditions, making up roughly 68% of all reported cases.

Expansion of Global Medical Tech Centers

The healthcare technology sector in India is witnessing growth as global companies establish specialized capability centers to enhance their services. These centers focus on various medical specialties, including orthopedics, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, pain management, plastic surgery, and ambulatory surgical centers. By integrating advanced technologies such as electronic health records, practice management, and analytics tools, these centers are optimizing healthcare delivery. They support a vast network of healthcare providers, enabling them to streamline operations and improve patient care. This expansion highlights India's growing role as a hub for healthcare innovation and digital solutions, contributing to the efficiency of the medical industry globally. The sector is expected to continue evolving, supporting both domestic and international healthcare needs. For instance, in March 2024, ModMed, a US-based company offering cloud solutions for various medical specialties, launched its first Global Capability Center (GCC) in Hyderabad, India. The center focuses on specialties including orthopedics, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, pain management, plastic surgery, and ambulatory surgery centers. ModMed provides electronic health records, practice management, and analytics tools and supports over 35,000 providers.
