One of the most significant, sector-shaping trends in health care is the migration of care out of the traditional hospital and into lower-cost outpatient settings. Ambulatory surgery center (ASC) market growth reflects this idea.

In light of this overarching theme of care shifting into non-traditional settings, the ASC industry has entered into a period of rapid change and fast-paced growth that's certain to extend into 2025.

More private equity investors will turn their attention to surgery centers, with more hospitals investing in ASCs, too. And because the U.S. health system is seeking to move care into more cost-effective models, the list of approved procedures for ASCs will likely continue to expand.

As this happens, technology will redefine what's possible, more consumers will demand a better experience, and new payment arrangements will gain traction, especially those that fall under the broad umbrella of value-based care.
