Pediatric Radiology Market Report 2025

This Pediatric Radiology market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The pediatric radiology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.94 billion in 2024 to $6.29 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to medical imaging innovations, increasing incidence of pediatric diseases, growing awareness and adoption, improvements in imaging quality and safety, and pediatric-focused research and training.

The pediatric radiology market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.9 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine and remote imaging, personalized medicine and precision imaging, the shift towards value-based healthcare, and innovations in emerging markets. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in pediatric-specific imaging techniques, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, expansion of point-of-care imaging, remote monitoring and telemedicine solutions, and emphasis on patient-centered care and family-centered imaging.

The growing prevalence of chronic pediatric conditions is expected to drive the expansion of the pediatric radiology market in the coming years. Chronic pediatric conditions are long-lasting health issues that affect children and adolescents, lasting for a year or more and often requiring continuous medical care or restricting daily activities. These conditions are becoming more common due to factors such as genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and lifestyle changes. Pediatric radiology plays a crucial role in diagnosing, monitoring, and managing these long-term health issues through imaging methods like X-rays, MRI, and CT scans, which provide essential data for effective treatment and care. For example, in November 2024, Asthma Australia, a non-profit organization based in Australia, reported that during 2022-2023, more than 31,000 hospitalizations were recorded with asthma as the primary diagnosis, nearly 43% of which involved children aged 14 or younger. As a result, the increasing prevalence of chronic pediatric conditions is fueling the growth of the pediatric radiology market.

Leading companies in the pediatric radiology market are focusing on developing innovative products to enhance diagnostic and treatment options for smaller or more vulnerable patients, improve imaging precision, and enhance overall patient comfort and outcomes. One such innovation is the mini transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) ultrasound transducers, compact imaging devices designed to provide detailed images of the heart and its structures through the esophagus. These devices extend diagnostic and treatment capabilities for patients of varying sizes and conditions. For example, in May 2024, Koninklijke Philips N.V. introduced the X11-4t Mini 3D TEE transducer, designed for enhanced patient comfort. This miniaturized transducer provides detailed 3D imaging crucial for diagnosing and treating structural heart diseases, benefiting small pediatric patients and adults at risk of complications. Compatible with Philips’ EPIQ CVx and EchoNavigator systems, it offers high-quality imaging while reducing the need for general anesthesia and minimizing recovery times.

In April 2023, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. acquired IMACTIS for an undisclosed amount, expanding its portfolio in interventional guidance. With this acquisition, GE HealthCare gained access to IMACTIS' CT-Navigation system, which enhances workflow efficiency and procedural accuracy in minimally invasive percutaneous procedures, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. IMACTIS specializes in medical imaging, radiology, and interventional radiology, and the acquisition strengthens GE HealthCare's position in the market.

Pediatric radiology is a specialized medical field focusing on diagnosing and treating diseases, disorders, and injuries affecting infants, children, and adolescents through imaging techniques. These techniques include X-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine, tailored to pediatric patients' anatomy, physiology, and pathology.

The main types of pediatric radiology include ultrasound, MRI, X-rays, CT scanners, and others. Ultrasound employs high-frequency sound waves to generate images of internal body structures, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring various medical conditions. Various modalities include standalone, table-top, and portable devices used across different medical fields such as oncology, orthopedics, and cardiology. These devices cater to a range of end-users, including hospitals, pediatric clinics, and diagnostic centers.
