The diagnostic imaging services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $674.09 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected due to an increased demand for remote diagnostics, the development of personalized medicine, integration of telemedicine services, a shift towards outcomes-based reimbursement models, and the adoption of eco-friendly practices within the healthcare industry.

The escalation in chronic illnesses globally is anticipated to drive the expansion of the diagnostic imaging services sector. Utilizing modalities such as ultrasound, fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine, radiographs, and CT scans, these services aid in diagnosing various non-communicable diseases. For instance, in February 2022, cancer stood as a primary cause of global mortality, accounting for nearly one in six deaths, nearing 10 million annually. Similarly, in the USA, cardiovascular disease claims a life every 34 seconds. This surge in chronic conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis, is expected to propel the demand for diagnostic imaging services.

The escalation in healthcare spending is projected to bolster the expansion of the diagnostic imaging services market. Healthcare expenditure, encompassing costs within a specific timeframe, notably impacts the diagnostic imaging services' growth trajectory. In March 2023, the United States' healthcare spending reached $4.3 trillion, amounting to $12,914 per person, reflecting a 2.7% increase over 2020. Hospital and clinical services experienced higher growth rates compared to physician spending between 2009 and 2019, averaging at 4.5% and 6.6%, respectively. This uptrend in healthcare spending drives the demand for diagnostic imaging services.

The adoption of artificial intelligence drives transformation. Companies such as Royal Philips and Medo harness AI to innovate MR imaging, optimizing workflows and diagnostic quality. For example, in November 2021, Royal Philips, a US-based company engaged in health technology, launched new AI-enabled innovations in MR imaging. Philips’ new MR portfolio of intelligent integrated solutions is designed to streamline workflows, speed up MR exams, help ensure the sustainability and efficiency of radiology operations and optimize diagnostic quality. Similarly, in December 2021, Medo, a Canada-based company engaged in using artificial intelligence (AI), entered a partnership with Medical Imaging Consultants (MIC), a Canada-based radiology company, to improve diagnostic imaging services.

The players in the diagnostic imaging services market are entering into strategic collaborations to make Innovations in medical Imaging. Collaborations drive tech advances, expand markets, ensure compliance, and enhance patient outcomes in diagnostic imaging. For instance, in September 2023, Mayo Clinic, a US-based Health care company, and GE HealthCare Technologies, Inc., a US-based multinational medical technology company, have formed a strategic collaboration focused on innovating medical imaging and theranostics. The partnership targets advancements in MRI technologies, development of theranostic agents for precise tumor imaging, improvement of ultrasound efficiency through AI, and enhancing the patient experience with data, AI, and digital health tools. The partnership aims to transform the experience of patients and clinicians in the practice of radiology and drive healthcare capabilities through clinical translation and adoption of advanced technologies.
