It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The clinical trial imaging market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.44 billion in 2024 to $1.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased sales and the distribution of clinical imaging software and services, increased risks of breast cancer, increased healthcare spending, rise in healthcare expenditure results in improved infrastructure, increased research and development spending by the pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies.

The clinical trial imaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.26 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing chronic diseases, rising research and development expenditures, an increasing geriatric population, a growing number of clinical studies, and an increasing number of contract research organizations. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements enhancing imaging modalities, strategic initiatives by market players to expand capabilities and offerings, adoption of imaging-based approaches in drug development, advancements in molecular imaging and AI-driven analysis, and product innovation.

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the clinical trial imaging market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-term conditions that require continuous medical attention and can significantly affect daily activities and quality of life. This increase in chronic diseases is attributed to factors such as exposure to air pollution, chemicals, and toxins, lifestyle changes, and genetic influences. Clinical trial imaging plays a crucial role in monitoring patients efficiently, providing valuable insights into their condition and the effects of treatments, which helps improve patient adherence and satisfaction. For example, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a US-based National Library of Medicine, projected in January 2023 that by 2050, the number of individuals aged 50 and above with at least one chronic illness will rise by 99.5%, from 71.52 million in 2020 to 142.66 million. As a result, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the clinical trial imaging market.

Major players in the clinical trial imaging market are focusing on developing cloud-based imaging tools to offer improved solutions and enhance clinical trial efficiency. These tools leverage cloud computing technology to store, manage, and analyze medical images. For instance, in March 2023, Clarion, a US-based manufacturer of advanced power distribution systems, introduced an innovative cloud-based image viewer tool. This tool enables real-time, on-demand viewing and manipulation of high-resolution images, providing read-quality access without the need for manual steps. It streamlines the image viewing process, ensuring easy, secure, and compliant data accessibility, empowering users to gain valuable insights into trial subjects.

In March 2023, Medica, a UAE-based medical company, acquired RadMD for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition enables Medica to enter the clinical trials market, utilizing RadMD's expertise to enhance cost-efficiency and streamline drug and device development processes for pharmaceutical, biotech, and contract research organizations (CROs). RadMD, based in the US, specializes in offering clinical trial imaging solutions.
