The ai in medical imaging market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•Recent years have seen a dramatic expansion in the market size for AI in medical imaging. The projection is for growth from a value of $2.8 billion in 2024, rising to $3.81 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.0%.
Factors attributable to this growth during the historical period include an escalation in medical imaging data volume, rising demand for enhanced diagnostic precision, increased instances of chronic diseases, improved workflow efficiency, and a growth in healthcare spending.
The ai in medical imaging market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, the AI in medical imaging market is projected to experience a significant surge, reaching a value of $14.64 billion in 2029 with an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.0%.
This anticipated growth within the forecast period can be ascribed to various factors such as the integration with electronic health records (EHR), the rising use in image-guided interventions, the rise of AI-fueled personalized treatment, a heightened emphasis on preventative healthcare, and the worldwide advancement of telemedicine. Notable trends within this predicted period include improvements in imaging methods through AI, increased data interoperability and sharing, the evolution of regulatory frameworks, growth in industry collaboration, and a strengthening focus on explainable AI.
The increase in AI use within the radiology sector is set to drive the AI in medical imaging market forward. Radiology is a medical specialty that centers on diagnosing and treating diseases or injuries through medical imaging techniques. The application of AI in medical imaging, particularly in radiology, is gaining popularity due to its ability to enhance the interpretation of medical images, and to increase the effectiveness and precision of radiological procedures such as automated image analysis, image reconstruction, enhancement, and computer-aided detection. As an example, a report released by the Radiological Society of North America in October 2023, a non-profit organization based in the US, revealed that 75% out of more than 500 FDA approved AI algorithms are directed towards radiology, an increase from 70% in 2021. Moreover, Itransition, a US-based software development company, stated in November 2022 that 30% of radiologists made use of AI in their clinical work in 2022. They also noted that 20% of practices have plans to purchase AI tools in the foreseeable future. Thus, as AI becomes increasingly utilized within the field of radiology, it will continue to push the AI in medical imaging market upwardly.
