The CT Scanners market section acquired the highest share of the Diagnostic Imaging market within the forecast period.

In 2024, the CT scanners segment acquired the largest share of the global Diagnostic Imaging market. The high growth of this product is due to the growing demand for early and accurate diagnosis, high adoption of CT Scanners by hospitals and diagnostic centers across the globe. The development of high-precision CT scanners by integrating CT scanners with artificial intelligence and advanced visualization systems are the major factors driving the growth of this segment. There has been a considerable rise in the demand for CT scanners since the COVID-19 pandemic started as CT of the chest plays an important role in diagnosing COVID-19. Consequently, the rising demand for disease treatment will favor the CT scanners market in the coming years.

The ultrasound segment is also expected to maintain its lead over the forecast period due to the rising number of ultrasound applications. Moreover, a growing emphasis on the innovation of portable ultrasound equipment is expected to drive growth in this application sector in both ambulatory and emergency care.

Hospitals Imaging Centers hold the largest share of the global Diagnostic Imaging market.

The growing demand for advanced imaging techniques and the collaboration of surgical teams with imaging technologies are some of the factors driving the hospitals imaging centres segment growth. The developed countries are showing a substantial rise in demand for advanced imaging components in teaching hospitals as compared to general or special hospitals. The Healthcare service in developing countries is dominated by private players. Therefore, rising competition and increasing demand for world-class healthcare services are the factors expected to fuel the segment growth in upcoming years.

The rising demand for ambulatory imaging is expected to drive the ambulatory imaging centers segment at the fastest pace in upcoming years. The government investment to enlarge the reach of advanced healthcare in rural parts is one of the prime factors driving this segment.

North America is estimated to be the largest shareholder in the market during the forecast period.

In 2024, North America acquired the largest Medical Imaging Market in the forecasted period. The increase in numbers of chronic diseases, technological advancements, product launches, the rising number of awareness programs regarding the early diagnosis of diseases, and the increase in healthcare spending by people will drive the medical imaging market growth in the region in the coming years. In addition, implementation of safety guidelines and policies, and increase in investments by market players for product development and distribution in the US and Canada are encouraging market growth.

Asia Pacific medical imaging market is anticipated to grow at the fastest pace over the forecast period due to the rising incidences of chronic diseases and the high demand for advanced imaging devices. Japan is known as the largest market for medical imaging in the Asia Pacific. The presence of Japan and South Korea-based market players is anticipated to play a crucial role in the regional market growth. The growth of local manufacturing units is expected to lower the prices of diagnostic units, thus helping in price-sensitive and boosting the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
