Mobile Imaging Services Market - By Device Type (X-ray, Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, PET/CT, Mammography), By End-use (Hospitals & Clinics, Home Healthcare) - Global Forecast, 2023-2032

Mobile Imaging Services Market size is projected to expand at 5.2% CAGR from 2023-2032 propelled by the ongoing trend of point-of-care diagnostics.

Of late, point-of-care diagnostics is gaining wide popularity as it enables healthcare professionals to conduct real-time imaging at the patient's bedside for facilitating quicker decision-making and treatment initiation. The demand for immediate and on-site diagnostic capabilities in various healthcare settings is also driving the adoption of mobile imaging services. Moreover, following the pandemic, mobile imaging has gained prominence in several healthcare settings. Many market participants are also delivering effective mobile solutions to enhance the visualization of bone and tissues at the bedside, further boosting the industry prospects. To cite an instance, in July 2023, KA Imaging collaborated with UMG/Del Medical to develop and commercialize its Reveal Mobi Pro dual-energy mobile X-ray equipment.

The overall industry is segmented into service type, end-use, and region.

In terms of device type, the mobile ultrasound imaging services market will gain significant traction at 5% CAGR from 2023-2032. The growth is owing to the ongoing advancements in portable ultrasound technology to enhance imaging quality. Portable ultrasound devices offer versatility and accessibility for enabling healthcare professionals to conduct diagnostic imaging at various locations. The increasing prevalence of point-of-care diagnostics and the higher need for real-time imaging in emergency and critical care situations is also amplifying the demand for mobile ultrasound services, thereby fueling the segment growth.

As per end-use, the mobile imaging services industry size from the home healthcare segment generated considerable revenue in 2022 and is poised to record 5.5% growth rate through 2032. Mobile imaging services help to deliver diagnostic capabilities at the homes of patients for enhancing the convenience for individuals with limited mobility or chronic conditions. The ability to perform imaging procedures in a home setting is also supporting the early diagnosis and ongoing monitoring, further contributing to the segment growth.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific mobile imaging services industry is set to exhibit 5.6% CAGR from 2023-2032 driven by the escalating need for accessible and on-the-go diagnostic services coupled with rising healthcare infrastructure development across the region. Many remote and underserved areas of India, China, Bangladesh, and other APAC countries with scarce traditional imaging facilities, are surging the need for mobile imaging services. Furthermore, recognizing the immense potential, some leading healthcare companies are investing in advanced mobile imaging technologies to meet the rising demand for diagnostic services in the region. For instance, in January 2023, FUJIFILM Healthcare Asia Pacific introduced a new range of digital healthcare solutions powered by superior medical image processing and AI.
