Emerging innovations in medical imaging technology and their adoption by service providers are expanding the market size. For instance, in May 2020, Alliance Medical and Expandable Healthcare announced the launch of Mobile Medical Plus in the UK, a mobile imaging unit with an in-patient facility. Furthermore, the market is likely to grow over the forecast period due to the increased prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders, which necessitates the use of advanced medical imaging technologies for diagnosis. As per the International Agency for Research on Cancer, about 457,960 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the UK in 2020, with 179,648 fatalities in the same year.
With the adoption of modern imaging technology, the number of imaging service providers in the UK is rapidly increasing. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), hospitals had around 7.8 MRI units and 9 CT units installed per 1,000,000 population in 2020. Furthermore, the rising frequency of CT scans in the UK is predicted to boost the overall market growth. According to the same source, CT scans were performed in UK hospitals at a rate of 103 per 1,000 people in 2019. The low cost of CT scans compared to MRI scans is also expected to increase their uptake.
In order to grow their services and presence, the market's leading competitors are undertaking various efforts such as acquisitions and funding of medium and small-sized organizations. For instance, in March 2021, Fortius Clinic, UK's single largest orthopedic group with an international reputation in orthopedics and MSK, was acquired by Affidea Group, the leading European provider of diagnostic imaging, outpatient, and cancer care services. In July 2020, Rutherford Health entered into a partnership with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, to provide diagnostic services through a new diagnostics facility in Somerset, England. The diagnostics facility is expected to offer a variety of diagnostic services and assist in the delivery of test results.
