Global Intraoperative Imaging Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By End-use, By Component, By Product (C-arm System, Intraoperative CT, Intraoperative Ultrasound and Intraoperative MRI), By Application, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028
The Global Intraoperative Imaging Market size is expected to reach $3.8 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period.
During surgery, the surgeon uses the intraoperative imaging system, an optical imaging device, to obtain a fast and detailed image of the surgical site. Through the use of images of the organ, tissue, or cell that the surgeon will be operating on, intraoperative imaging assists the surgeon. Intraoperative ultrasound, intraoperative X-ray, intraoperative MRI, intraoperative CT, and mobile C-arm are a few examples of intraoperative imaging equipment.
These tools are utilized in a variety of surgical operations, including gastrointestinal surgery, heart surgery, neurosurgery, and cancer surgery. The market is growing as a result of improvements in intraoperative imaging devices and the use of these technologies in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centres for better surgical outcomes. Additionally, the government's efforts to advance the healthcare sector spur market expansion.
Increased prevalence of chronic conditions like cancer and cardiovascular illnesses results in more surgeries being performed, which fuels the intraoperative imaging market's expansion. For example, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) reported that 25,050 persons, including 14,170 men and 10,880 women, are expected to be detected with brain and spinal cord tumours in the United States in February 2022.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The intraoperative imaging market has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. In the manufacturing and supply chain, the market must address issues including timely product delivery to customers and inconsistent demand for the goods and services offered in the industry.

End-use Outlook
On the basis of end-use, the intraoperative imaging market is segmented into Hospitals and Others. Hospitals segment acquired highest revenue share in the intraoperative imaging market in 2021. This is because hospitals are increasingly implementing cutting-edge intraoperative imaging equipment to improve patient outcomes. For example, the first cerebral resection case employing a 3.0T high field intraoperative MRI equipment was done by the Xuanwu Hospital Neurosurgery Department China in April 2019, suggesting that the department has begun a new age of precision neurosurgery.
Component Outlook
By component, the intraoperative imaging market is fragmented into Systems, Software and Services. The systems segment recorded the largest revenue share in the intraoperative imaging market in 2021. It is due to the growing investment by governments on the adoption of various latest healthcare technologies and solutions. These systems are developed to fulfill the workflow demands of the surgical surroundings. In addition, these systems are utilized in a wide range of processes involving cranial, spine and orthopedics.
Application Outlook
Based on application, the intraoperative imaging market is classified into Neurosurgery, Orthopedic, ENT Surgery, Oncology Surgery, Trauma surgery/ emergency room, Cardiovascular and Others. The neurosurgery segment procured the highest revenue share in the intraoperative imaging market in 2021. Outcomes from intraoperative imaging are game-changing because they let neurosurgeons perform with greater precision, reduce the requirement for extra procedures, and shield patients from infection whereas being moved in and out of the operating theatre.
Regional Outlook
Region-wise, the intraoperative imaging market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. North America emerged as the leading region in the intraoperative imaging market with the maximum revenue share in 2021. With significant adoption of intraoperative imaging technology among important end users and quite well distribution networks for manufacturers and distributors of intraoperative imaging products, North America is a mature market.
