The magnetic resonance imaging coils market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of magnetic resonance imaging coils has seen substantial growth in the past few years. The market, valued at $12.62 billion in 2024, is forecasted to reach $13.53 billion in 2025, projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%.
Factors such as the growing occurrence of chronic diseases, an aging population, research and development activities, increasing healthcare expenditure, and stringent regulatory compliance have all contributed to this historic growth.
The magnetic resonance imaging coils market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for magnetic resonance imaging coils is predicted to expand rapidly in the coming years. It is anticipated to reach a size of $19.97 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%.
The anticipated growth during this period can be linked to the surge in telemedicine, the development of hybrid imaging, the initiatives in precision medicine, the advent of personalized medicine, and faster diagnosis and treatment procedures. Significant trends to watch out for during this period include AI-assisted imaging, wearable and constant monitoring, the use of advanced materials and manufacturing processes, personalized coil design, and low-field MRI systems.
The rise in chronic illnesses is predicted to fuel the magnetic resonance imaging coil market's expansion. These are conditions that persist for a year or longer, necessitating continual medical intervention and limiting daily life activities. Diseases such as heart disease and cancer, where MRI is crucial in diagnosing and monitoring treatment responses, are predominant chronic diseases. The MRI coil captures the radio frequency signal obtained from the patient's body and transfers the data to a computer to generate images. For example, the World Health Organization, a specialized UN agency based in Switzerland, reported in September 2023 that there were 41 million deaths globally, accounting for 74% of all deaths from non-communicable or chronic diseases. Cardiovascular diseases accounted for 17.9 million deaths, cancer for 9.3 million, and chronic respiratory diseases for 4.1 million. As such, there's an anticipated increase in MRI machine usage for monitoring chronic diseases. This rise in chronic illness prevalence is thus projected to stimulate demand for magnetic resonance imaging coils over the forecast period.

Leading businesses in the magnetic resonance imaging coils market are concentrating on developing smart fit coils to bolster patient comfort, enhance picture quality, and ramp up workflow productivity by automatically modifying to various body sizes and shapes. Smart fit coils exemplify cutting-edge MRI coils that self-adjust their form and size to conform to the patient’s body. The Smart Fit coils can flex over 90 degrees in all angles, making them adaptable to different anatomical constructions. This adaptability is exceptionally useful for imaging complex areas like long bones or patients with plaster casts. For example, in November 2023, Koninklijke Philips N.V., a company based in the Netherlands, introduced MR Smart Fit coils. These coils are noticeably lighter than conventional options, leading to improved patient comfort and easier handling for medical personnel. The Smart Fit 1.5T shoulder coil is engineered to decrease setup time by approximately 10%, enabling patients to be prepped while seated on the examination table, thus making the entire process more efficient. These coils are primed for use with Philips’ SmartSpeed AI solution, improving image quality and resolution.
