Global Diagnostic Imaging Market Size (2024 to 2029)

As per our research report, the size of the global diagnostic imaging market was worth USD 38.34 billion in 2023. The global diagnostic imaging market is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 6.67% from 2024 to 2029 and be worth USD 56.48 billion by 2029 from USD 40.9 billion in 2024.

Diagnostic imaging is also called medical imaging. Medical imaging depicts information and picturization of internal organs and abnormalities. It establishes a database for anatomy and physiology to make it easy to identify abnormalities. Medical imaging draws images or visual representations of various parts of the human body with digital health to diagnose and treat underlying diseases. 

Global Diagnostic Imaging Market Drivers:

The demand for medical imaging services is always at the top end and will continue to grow throughout the forecast period. Then, any other market considering the healthcare sector's diagnostic imaging market holds the most considerable revenue and will continue to grow due to technological advancements, rising incidences of chronic diseases, awareness in the population of a healthy lifestyle, and early detection of diseases. R&D activities are a key factor for market growth. Government funding to healthcare sectors and, most importantly, the diagnostic imaging market is crucial for growth. In developing regions such as Asia-Pacific and LAMEA, the market is expected to grow immensely. Highly populated countries where the senior population's ratio is high also hold the most significant shares globally. 

An increase in early detection of diseases, awareness of early diagnosis and treatment, and growing geriatric and pediatric populations are propelling the growth of the global diagnostic imaging market. Government initiatives to create awareness of the early stages of diagnosis and treatment and investments from government and private organizations to worldwide healthcare fuel the diagnostic imaging market. Technological advances in the diagnostic imaging market led to new inventions, such as devices for various disease diagnoses. In addition, the rising demand for providing knowledge to students in hospitals and universities by providing training for advanced medical imaging technology influences the market growth. With an increase in population and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancers, cardiovascular issues, and organ failures, the spread of diseases and infections is expected to increase market size. 

Various health monitoring systems introduced by the government, easy usage of mobile health systems, subscription plans in healthcare apps, and a rise in vulnerable diseases augment market growth factors. In addition, the rise in demand for various medical diagnostic tests such as MRI, nuclear imaging and PET scans, Ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT) scans, and X-rays are the primary growth contributing factors for the diagnostic imaging market across the globe. 

Global Diagnostic Imaging Market Restraints:

The high costs involved with treatment procedures and the rise in complications due to exposure to high radiation are hindering the growth rate of the global diagnostic imaging market. The preliminary reimbursement plans, high costs associated with diagnosis plans and procedures, and helium shortage are expected to hamper the market growth. Skilled workers are needed daily. Since this market lacks skilled workers and staff, operating all the procedures will cause low market growth. In addition, the risk of radiation exposure is high for patients, workers, and staff; this may create significant health issues with daily exposure. Recently, a severe helium shortage has been recorded in many countries, and stringent approval regulations restricted this market. In addition, repeated quality checks and control of medical devices are hard to process. 

Impact of COVID-19 on the global diagnostic imaging market:

During this COVID-19 pandemic, diagnostic imaging has been used to monitor the patients affected by Coronavirus. For example, ultrasound is used to track pneumonia symptoms in COVID-19 patients, whereas MRI monitors brain abnormalities in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the factor mentioned above is expected to drive the market exponentially. COVID-19 has taught us social distancing is the only key to minimizing the infection ratio and preventing the spread of infection. However, the stringent regulations, such as travel ban issues and the lockdown, have restricted the market from growing. Manufacturers and distributors of medical imaging systems worldwide are crucial and pivotal for market growth, so they were impacted negatively during COVID-19 issues. Governments' focus shift is observed on COVID-19-related issues, and the funding from the government end to the diagnostic imaging market has been halted. On the other hand, to detect infection, medical diagnoses such as CT scans to detect infection rates in the lungs and other blood tests have seen tremendous growth and demand from 2020.
