The US Ambulatory Surgical Center Market size is expected to be worth around US$ 103.4 Billion by 2034 from US$ 44.5 Billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period 2025 to 2034.
In 2025, the U.S. Ambulatory Surgical Center Market continues its ascent as patients and payers favor on-site, efficient outpatient procedures over hospital admissions. Advances in minimally invasive techniques allow complex procedures—such as spinal injections, joint arthroscopy, and cataract removal—to be safely performed in ASCs with same-day discharge. Health systems are signing value-based contracts with ASCs to reduce costs and avoid hospital readmissions.
Rapid pre-op assessments, standardized pathways, and patient-centric recovery spaces enhance satisfaction. As consumer preference for convenience grows, and health plans seek cost-effective care, ASCs are firmly positioned as frontline surgical hubs, delivering specialized services at lower cost and higher turn-around compared to inpatient settings.
