The artificial intelligence in medical imaging market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of artificial intelligence in medical imaging has seen a substantial expansion in the recent past. The growth forecast predicts an increase from $3.42 billion in 2024 to $4.46 billion in 2025, maintaining a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.4%.
The scale-up during the historical period is credited to factors such as the surging demand for AI-integrated CT, a growing incidence of cancer, a surge in the usage of cloud computing, an increasing elderly population, and the execution of beneficial government initiatives.
The artificial intelligence in medical imaging market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions show a tremendous surge in the market size of artificial intelligence in medical imaging in the coming years. It is estimated to reach a remarkable $13.16 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.1%.
This predicted growth during the forecast period can be associated with factors such as an increasing desire to reduce the workload of radiologists, a rising older population, increased investment, an augmented demand for large and complex datasets, and the increasing need for AI-integrated CT. Some significant trends during this period include the utilization of computer vision techniques allowing AI algorithms to examine medical images, advancements in deep learning technology, product innovations in nuclear medicine, and advancements in other technologies like ultrasound systems and magnetic resonance imaging product innovation.
The expansion of imaging modalities is projected to boost the growth of AI in the medical imaging market. Imaging modalities are the various techniques used for visualizing internal body structures for diagnosis and treatment. AI algorithms play a crucial role in these modalities by aiding in image reconstruction, reducing noise, and correcting artifacts, thereby improving the clarity and precision of CT images. For example, the National Health Service, a government department in the UK, reported in July 2022 that 43.3 million imaging tests were conducted in England from April 2021 to March 2022. Additionally, approximately 3.67 million imaging tests occurred in March 2022 alone. Hence, the increasing use of imaging modality is fueling the growth of AI in the medical imaging market.
