Medical Imaging and Radiology Software Global Market Report 2024

The medical imaging and radiology software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.78 billion in 2023 to $7.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to factors such as adherence to regulations, heightened healthcare spending, an aging population, the pursuit of precision medicine, and the wider acceptance of digital imaging technology.

The medical imaging and radiology software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.23 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The projected growth in the upcoming period is linked to the integration of artificial intelligence, the emergence of telemedicine and remote imaging, the introduction of new imaging modalities, the focus on population health management, and the integration with electronic health records (EHR). Noteworthy trends anticipated in the forecast period include the adoption of AI and machine learning, the utilization of cloud-based radiology software, the advancement of imaging modalities, an emphasis on population health analytics, and the integration of radiology software with EHR systems.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the medical imaging and radiology software market in the future. Chronic diseases, characterized by enduring symptoms requiring continuous medical management, result from various factors such as urbanization, genetic predisposition, and sedentary lifestyles. Medical imaging and radiology software play a crucial role in managing chronic conditions by enabling early detection, precise diagnosis, disease monitoring, and treatment planning, thereby facilitating timely interventions and optimizing patient outcomes. For instance, in September 2023, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, each year there are 41 million deaths worldwide, accounting for 74% of all fatalities attributed to chronic diseases. This includes 17.9 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2 million from diabetes. Therefore, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases drives the growth of the medical imaging and radiology software market.

Leading companies in the medical imaging and radiology software sector are innovating by introducing new technologies such as deep learning reconstruction (DLR) technology to enhance image quality, increase diagnostic accuracy, and streamline workflow efficiency. These cutting-edge solutions leverage artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to reconstruct medical images with greater clarity and detail. DLR technology, driven by artificial intelligence, is an advanced imaging technique that sharpens medical images and speeds up scan times, particularly in modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), thereby improving image quality, expediting diagnoses, and enhancing patient experiences. For example, in August 2023, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation launched the ECHELON Synergy MRI system, a 1.5 Tesla MRI system incorporating Synergy DLR technology powered by AI. This innovation enhances image sharpness, accelerates scan times, and promises superior image quality and higher throughput, ultimately leading to increased patient satisfaction. Additionally, features such as a spacious bore and table for patient comfort, SoftSound gradient technology for reduced noise, and AutoExam One Touch operation for streamlined workflow are incorporated. Furthermore, the integration of Hydro AG antibacterial coating addresses healthcare-associated infections, offering additional protection against common bacterial strains.

In April 2024, GE HealthCare bolstered its portfolio by acquiring MIM Software Inc., a US-based software company, for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move enables GE HealthCare to enhance its precision care strategy by integrating MIM Software's imaging analytics and digital workflow solutions, catering to evolving patient needs and reinforcing its commitment to providing clinicians and healthcare systems with integrated and automated solutions. MIM Software Inc. specializes in providing imaging solutions for various medical fields including radiation oncology, radiology, nuclear medicine, theranostics, and urology.
