How Has the Spinal Imaging Market Size Evolved in Recent Years?
The spinal imaging market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of spinal imaging has displayed significant growth in the past few years. It is predicted to expand from $2.14 billion in 2024 to $2.31 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%.
The rise in the historic period is associated with the aging population and orthopedic conditions, an increase in musculoskeletal disorders, advancements in medical imaging technologies, a rise in spinal injuries, along with growing consciousness and access to healthcare.
What are the Forecasted Growth and Key Factors of the Spinal Imaging Market?
The spinal imaging market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the spinal imaging market is projected to witness robust growth, expanding to a valuation of $3.18 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 8.3%.
This anticipated growth over the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increase in spinal conditions related to lifestyle, the rise in surgical interventions, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), and wider access to specialized healthcare services, coupled with the growing incidence of chronic spinal disorders. Key trends over the forecast period will include advancements in multimodal imaging solutions, a surge in minimally invasive spinal procedures, greater utilization of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the incorporation of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), and a growing emphasis on functional and dynamic imaging techniques.
What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Spinal Imaging Market?
The increasing incidences of spinal cord injuries (SCI) are stimulating the expansion of the spinal imaging market. A spinal cord injury is characterized by a sudden, violent impact to the vertebrae causing harm to the spinal cord or nerves at the rear end of the spinal canal, which may result in a fracture or a loss of function or mobility in various body parts. Spinal imaging holds critical significance in the assessment of both acute and chronic spinal injuries, fundamentally contributing to the diagnosis, treatment, and recuperation of patients suffering from SCI. For example, in July 2022, the United Spinal Association, hailing from the US, stated that nearly 17,700 Americans are afflicted by spinal cord injuries annually. Among these, about 78% are men, with the patients' average age being 43 years. The principal causes of spinal cord injuries are vehicle accidents (39.3%), falls (31.8%), acts of violence (13.2%), sports (8%), and medical or surgical interventions (4.3%). Thus, an escalating trend of spinal cord injuries (SCI) is anticipated to spur the advancement of the spinal imaging market.
