The global point of care CT imaging market size is expected to reach USD 327.8 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 5.59% from 2024 to 2030. The growing prevalence of neurological conditions including traumatic brain injury and brain tumor is expected to drive the market growth. Additionally, the increasing burden due to COVID-19 is leading people to opt for PoC Computed Tomography (CT) imaging to identify the problem. As the demand for the PoC CT imaging is increasing outpatient settings such as Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), hospitals, and clinics are widely installing the devices.
A large number of clinical trial studies are being conducted on PoC computed tomography imaging devices to understand the effectiveness and efficiency of the device in diagnosing various diseases. Many research centers and institutes, therefore, are installing the devices for conducting these studies. Furthermore, market players are forming alliances to enhance knowledge regarding PoC computed tomography imaging by support educational groups at research institutions.
Patients seeking PoC diagnostic devices prefer outpatient settings over the hospital to avoid long wait time and extra hospital-associated expenses. Therefore, market players to provide PoC computed tomography imaging in these settings are developing compact devices that can be easily accommodated and accessed. Many players are adding mobility as well to the compact devices so that these devices can be carried to different departments and locations, especially, where the need for COVID-19 diagnosis is high.
Market players are forming strategic alliances with various distributors to provide advanced PoC computed tomography imaging devices for COVID-19 diagnosis. In February 2020, NeuroLogica in assistance with Chinese distributor Chindex, is distributing the BodyTomPoC CT scanner in China for COVID-19 diagnosis. Moreover, these players are also creating digital platforms to enhance the access images captured by PoC computed tomography imaging devices for consultation.
