1. The North American ASC market reached $70 billion in revenue in 2018. It is expected to witness a 5 percent compound annual growth rate from 2019 to 2025.
2. The development of outpatient surgery programs was fueled by a prevalence of chronic disorders and growing awareness of early diagnostic treatments.
3. The global ASC market share will benefit from government initiatives encouraging healthcare access in developing economies.
