The intraoperative imaging market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for intraoperative imaging has experienced robust growth in the past few years. It's predicted to escalate from $2.76 billion in 2024 to $2.99 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.3%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historic period include an increase in the aged population, a surge in surgeries related to cancer, a rise in orthopedic procedures, an uptick in cardiovascular surgeries, and an increase in neurological surgeries.
The intraoperative imaging market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to experience substantial expansion in the years to come, the intraoperative imaging market is predicted to reach a value of $4.13 billion in 2029, progressing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
This robust rise during the forecasted period can be credited to the escalating utilization of personalized medicines, increased global healthcare accessibility, surging medical tourism, numerous worldwide health initiatives and the intensifying measures for radiation safety. Furthermore, augmenting this growth are significant emerging trends including the implementation of augmented reality (ar) and virtual reality (vr), the advent of portable intraoperative imaging systems, enhanced 3D imaging technology, the assistance of robots in surgical procedures, innovative navigation systems, and image-guided radiation therapy (igrt).
An upward trend in the number of surgeries is anticipated to fuel the progression of the intraoperative imaging market in the future. The increasing occurrence of conditions such as strokes, orthopedic diseases, cancer, among others, has amplified the requirement for highly accurate complex surgical procedures. Intraoperative imaging tools offer a live update of the patient's status during the operation, thus heightening the precision of the surgery. For example, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons reported in March 2023 that there was a marked upsurge in cosmetic procedures performed in 2022. The report demonstrated that 31,057 cosmetic surgeries were conducted in the UK that year, signifying a striking 102% increase from the previous year. A majority of these procedures, approximately 93%, were undergone by women, representing a notable rise of 101% compared to 2021. Hence, the increasing rate of surgeries is contributing to the expansion of the intraoperative imaging market.
