As of recent data, approximately 32% of all births in the United States are delivered via Cesarean section (C-section). This translates to about 1.3 million C-sections performed annually. The percentage can vary by factors such as maternal health, pregnancy complications, and hospital practices. Trends indicate a gradual decline in the C-section rate in recent years.
On average, globally, about 21% of births are by cesarean section. This percentage varies widely by country and region, with some countries reporting rates above 40%.
