Diagnostic Imaging Services Market by Procedure (MRI, Ultrasound, CT, X-RAY, Nuclear Imaging, Mammography), Application (OB/Gyn, Pelvic/Abdomen, Cardiology, Oncology, Neurology), Technology, User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers) - Global Forecast to 2027

The diagnostic imaging services market is projected to reach USD 702.6 billion by 2027 from USD 549.0 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. Major factors driving the growth of market includes rising global incidence of various chronic diseases, growing awareness about the different imaging modalities, and growing expansion of outpatient imaging centers

However, high cost associated with diagnostic imaging equipment; reducing the adoption of new imaging technology among lower economic countries and shortage of skilled workforce is anticipated to restrain the growth of market.

“X-ray accounted for the largest share of the global diagnostic imaging services market in 2021”.

Based on Modality, the market is segmented into X-ray , computed tomography, ultrasound, MRI, nuclear imaging, and mammography. In 2021, the x-ray segment accounted for the largest share of the diagnostic imaging services market. This is attributed to the increased usage of digital X-ray imaging modality among hospitals & diagnostic centers across the globe. Additionally, ongoing technological upgradation in X-ray scan such as Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT) , offering 3D image of whole body scan with the resolution 10 times greater than CT scanner , are anticipated to support the growth of the segment in the near future.

“The neurology segment accounted for the largest share of the MRI imaging services market in 2021”.

Based on application, the MRI services market is segmented into neurology, orthopedics, cardiovascular, pelvic & abdomen, and oncology. The neurology segment accounted for the largest share of the MRI services market in 2021. This is attributed to the increased aged population and growing incidences of neurodegenerative disorders, traumatic brain injuries, advancements in MRI imaging technology and growing number of players introducing new MRI technology for prediction of various neurological disorders.
