Medical Imaging Equipment and Informatics Outlook and Growth Opportunities, 2024

Rising Demand for Primary Care, Increasing Investment in AI-based Image Analysis Solutions, and Rapid Adoption of Enterprise Imaging in Multiple Specialties are Driving the Medical Imaging Industry

The global medical imaging equipment and informatics industry is experiencing increasing demand for primary care, high prevalence of chronic diseases, and high footfall in screening centers, which are driving its growth. 2023 marked an increasing focus on oncology and precision imaging, indicated by the rising procurement of computed tomography (CT), mammography, and molecular imaging. In addition, the imaging informatics industry is largely driven by medical image diagnosis and visualization solutions due to the high demand for fast and accurate diagnosis. The focus on providing personalized care through precision imaging, the increasing shift to nonhospital settings, the rapid adoption of cloud infrastructure and AI by healthcare providers, and the focus on AI-based imaging algorithms for cardiology will also drive overall industry growth.

In this study, the publisher examines the industry and provides the top 5 predictions for 2024. Given that recent international events, such as the Russo-Ukrainian War, inflation, and recession, have had a substantial impact on the industry, the publisher picks 2021-2028 as the study period, with 2023 as the base year. The forecast period runs from 2024 to 2028, giving participants a sense of what to expect over the next 4 years. The publisher also offers stakeholder insight into the prominent growth opportunities in this industry, including the growing procurement of AI-enabled solutions through marketplaces, the evolution of new care locations beyond hospitals, the surge in mobile and portable imaging equipment utilization, and the increasing accessibility to remote areas through teleradiology and cloud-based solutions, all of which provide excellent growth prospects for the industry.
