The increasing number of pediatric ailments is expected to drive the growth of the pediatric imaging market in the coming years. Pediatric imaging involves scanning and diagnosing younger patients using advanced technologies such as ultrasound, CT scans, X-rays, and others to detect abnormalities in children's bodies and develop effective treatment plans. Imaging in pediatric nuclear medicine is particularly useful for identifying life-threatening conditions in children, whether congenital, infectious, or non-infectious, such as cancer. For example, in August 2024, the National Cancer Institute, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, estimated that 14,910 children and adolescents aged 0 to 19 in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer in 2024, leading to 1,590 deaths. Of these, 9,620 diagnoses and 1,040 deaths are expected among children aged 0 to 14, while 5,290 diagnoses and 550 deaths will occur among adolescents aged 15 to 19. As a result, the rise in pediatric ailments is driving the growth of the pediatric imaging market.

The pediatric imaging market is expected to experience growth due to the expanding pediatric population. Pediatrics, a medical specialty focused on the growth, care, and illnesses of newborns, children, teens, and young adults, plays a vital role in providing comprehensive healthcare to children. Accurate diagnosis, prompt therapy, and optimal outcomes for various medical disorders are facilitated through pediatric imaging. In 2023, the Children's Defense Fund reported a continuous increase in the overall number of children in the United States, reaching an estimated 74 million in 2021, constituting 22% of the total population. Consequently, the expanding pediatric population serves as a driving factor for the pediatric imaging market.

Technological advancement is a key trend being pursued by companies in the pediatric imaging market. Leading companies in this sector are focused on developing advanced technologies to strengthen their market position. For example, in July 2023, Eyas Medical Imaging, a U.S.-based precision imaging company, announced the first installation of the Ascent, a neonatal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system, at a hospital. The Ascent features a 3 Tesla (3T) magnet, offering a magnetic field strength not previously available in neonatal MRI systems. The 3T magnet provides a more detailed and precise diagnostic tool, allowing healthcare professionals to obtain high-resolution images of vital organs, such as the brain, lungs, heart, and abdomen.

Companies in the pediatric imaging market are also focusing on innovative products such as multi-departmental imaging solutions to better cater to the needs of their consumers. Multi-departmental imaging solutions encompass comprehensive imaging systems that provide services across different departments within a healthcare organization. These solutions offer healthcare practitioners access to modern imaging technology and specialized skills, enhancing patient care and outcomes. In 2022, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based diagnostics and electronics company, launched the BodyTom 64 CT scanner. This enhanced model of the BodyTom Elite CT scanner offers expanded functionality and high-resolution imaging capabilities. Indicated for both adult and pediatric imaging, the BodyTom 64 is a multi-departmental imaging system applicable in neurological surgery, interventional radiology, brachytherapy, trauma, medical examinations, and more.
