The diagnostic imaging equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for diagnostic imaging equipment has seen robust growth in the past few years. It's predicted to rise from $56.96 billion in 2024 to $60.86 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
The historic growth is linked to factors such as the aging population, increased incidence of diseases, healthcare reimbursements, and regulatory approvals.
The diagnostic imaging equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the diagnostic imaging equipment market size is predicted to experience consistent expansion. The market is projected to reach $71.44 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the forecast period include the blending of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the availability of remote imaging services, the development of personalized medicinal approaches, the rise of emerging markets, and the practice of minimally invasive procedures. The forecast period will also witness significant trends such as the use of 3D and 4D imaging techniques, point-of-care imaging, strategies for radiation dose reduction, hybrid imaging, and environmentally sustainable practices.
The surge in global chronic diseases is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the diagnostic imaging equipment market. Chronic ailments are conditions that persist for a year or more, requiring ongoing medical attention, limiting daily functions, or both, and they encompass diseases like cancer, diabetes, etc. Radiology's imaging technologies are utilized to detect an array of diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Diagnostic imaging can discover chronic diseases that haven't displayed any symptoms as of yet. For example, as reported by the World Health Organization, a US-based intergovernmental entity, in September 2023, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) cause 41 million deaths every year, comprising 74% of worldwide deaths, with 17 million individuals dying before reaching the age of 70, 86% of which occur in low- to mid-income countries. Therefore, the global rise in chronic diseases is propelling the growth of the diagnostic imaging equipment sector.

Leading firms in the diagnostic imaging equipment market are striving to innovate new technologies like medical imaging for enhancing diagnostic precision and patient results. These innovations are designed to make workflows more efficient and elevate accessibility to superior imaging. Medical imaging involves using methods to generate visual depictions of the body's interior for diagnosis and treatment purposes. X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound are frequently used in these methods. As an example, in April 2022, Wipro Ltd., a technology company from India partnered with GE Healthcare Technologies, Inc., a medical technology company from the US, to bring a transformative change to the Aspire CT scanner. This is a top-tier computed tomography system entirely produced in India, aligning with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. This future generation scanner boasts advanced imaging abilities, operational efficiency that is up to 50% higher, and image quality bettered by 30%. Thanks to an over INR 100 crore investment under the government's Production Linked Incentives (PLI) Scheme, the scanner was made in a newly established facility. Its main objective is to enhance access to quality healthcare, especially in tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
