Based on type, the medical digital imaging systems market is segmented into MRI, x-ray, ultrasound, CT, mammography and nuclear imaging. The MRI segment held the largest revenue size over USD 5 billion in 2022. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions is driving the demand for MRI imaging. MRI provides detailed and accurate images of soft tissues, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring these conditions.
Moreover, ongoing advancements in MRI technology including higher magnetic field strengths, improved image resolution, faster scanning techniques, and enhanced software algorithms, are anticipated to boost the adoption of MRI systems. Also, the integration of AI algorithms with MRI imaging is an emerging trend in the medical digital imaging market. AI can assist radiologists in analyzing and interpreting MRI images, improving accuracy, efficiency, and diagnostic outcomes. AI algorithms can also enable faster image reconstruction and enhance image quality, further improving the utility of MRI.
Based on technology, the medical digital imaging systems market is bifurcated into 2D and 3D/4D. Further, 2D segment is subdivided into BnW and color. The 3D/4D segment accounted for over 76% revenue share in the year 2022. Advances in 3D/4D imaging technologies provide precise and efficient real-time depictions of the human body, reducing distortion for patients that has led to their increased adoption. Moreover, 4D imaging combines 3D and real-time movement.
The medical digital imaging systems market is segmented by end-use into hospitals, diagnostic centers, specialty centers and others. Hospitals segment is estimated to witness lucrative growth at 7.7% CAGR by 2032. High segment growth can be attributable to growing number of people suffering from chronic diseases across developing countries and rising awareness about disease diagnostics and prevention. Further, increasing disposable income and favorable reimbursement policies in developed nations will contribute considerably towards the adoption of medical digital imaging systems in hospitals.
U.S. medical digital imaging systems market accounted for USD 6.8 billion in revenue size in 2022. The use of medical digital imaging technology is growing rapidly due to its non-invasive nature and ability to produce real-time images. This has led to an increased demand for medical digital imaging systems in the U.S. Also, high adoption of innovative technologies and upgraded healthcare infrastructure, as well as high purchasing power and a favorable reimbursement framework will stimulate the potential for the U.S. industry expansion by 2032.
