The Global Medical Imaging Market reached USD 41.6 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2034. This growth is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, continuous advancements in imaging technologies, and increasing global healthcare expenditure. Chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders, remain significant drivers of demand for advanced diagnostic solutions.
The need for non-invasive diagnostic procedures is a major factor fueling the adoption of medical imaging solutions. Technologies such as artificial intelligence-powered imaging tools are transforming the industry by improving image accuracy, enhancing diagnostic speed, and optimizing patient care. The growing aging population is also a critical contributor to market growth, as older adults are more susceptible to health conditions that necessitate medical imaging for diagnosis and treatment planning.
