POC medical imaging entails the utilization of portable or handheld imaging devices within healthcare settings to swiftly acquire diagnostic images at the patient's bedside or point of care. This approach facilitates immediate decision-making and treatment planning. It's a pivotal tool bringing imaging directly to the patient, significantly aiding in clinical research.
The primary product types in POC medical imaging include x-ray, CT scans, and ultrasound. X-ray technology involves a form of electromagnetic radiation capable of penetrating materials, commonly utilized for medical imaging and security screening purposes. These imaging applications span across various medical fields such as cardiology, gynecology or obstetrics, oncology, orthopedics, neurology, and others. They find application in hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and even in home care settings.

This POC medical imaging market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The POC medical imaging market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from$1.41 billion in 2024 to $1.47 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to remote and underserved areas accessibility, increased prevalence of chronic diseases, improved connectivity and mobility, rise in telemedicine and remote consultation, focused government initiatives
The POC medical imaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emergence of novel imaging modalities, investments in research and development, personalized and precision medicine, development of wireless connectivity, focus on rapid diagnostics. Major trends in the forecast period include ai-powered interpretation and analytics, remote monitoring and telemedicine, focus on cost-effectiveness, point-of-care testing expansion, development of smartphone-compatible devices.
The escalating prevalence of chronic diseases stands as a driving force behind the anticipated growth in the point-of-care medical imaging market. This surge in chronic conditions, stemming from lifestyle choices, genetic factors, environmental influences, and aging populations, underscores the pivotal role of point-of-care medical imaging. This technology facilitates timely diagnostic insights and enables healthcare professionals to monitor disease progression, guiding effective treatment decisions. According to the World Health Organization's September 2022 report, chronic diseases accounted for 74% of global deaths, with around 17 million deaths annually before the age of 70, the majority occurring in low- and middle-income countries. By 2030, it's projected that chronic diseases will contribute to 70% of the global burden of disease. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases acts as a primary driver fostering growth in the point-of-care medical imaging market.
The increasing geriatric population is expected to drive the growth of point-of-care (POC) medical imaging in the future. The geriatric population refers to individuals typically aged 65 and older. POC medical imaging plays a crucial role for this demographic by providing quick and accessible diagnostic assessments, addressing the specific healthcare needs of elderly individuals, and facilitating timely interventions for age-related conditions. For example, in January 2024, the Population Reference Bureau, a US-based nonprofit organization specializing in statistics, projected that the number of Americans aged 65 and older will rise from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, representing a 47% increase. Therefore, the growing geriatric population is driving the expansion of the POC medical imaging market.
Major companies in the point-of-care (POC) medical imaging market are concentrating on developing advanced products, such as cutting-edge imaging solutions, to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve workflow efficiency, and provide timely results directly at the point of care for better patient outcomes. These advanced imaging solutions are designed to deliver high-resolution diagnostic images quickly and efficiently, allowing healthcare professionals to make informed decisions at the point of care. For instance, in June 2022, Mindray, a China-based medical device company, launched the TEX20 Series. This series is designed to offer high-quality imaging with improved portability, making it suitable for various clinical environments. By integrating advanced imaging technologies and user-friendly features, the TEX20 aims to raise the standards of POC medical imaging, enabling healthcare professionals to deliver efficient and effective patient care across different settings.
Major players in the POC medical imaging market are intensifying their focus on introducing innovative products such as cloud-based platforms to gain a competitive edge. These cloud-based platforms, exemplified by Exo's April 2022 launch of Exo Works, offer streamlined ultrasound exam documentation, billing, and quality assurance. By simplifying workflow management, this platform allows physicians to concentrate on patient care. Compatible with various POC ultrasound devices and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, Exo Works prioritizes security, compliance, and user-friendly functionality, addressing long-standing challenges in POC ultrasound workflow management.
In July 2022, Exo, a renowned US-based manufacturer specializing in health information and handheld ultrasound devices, successfully acquired Medo AI, a Canadian company recognized for its AI-driven ultrasound technology. The undisclosed acquisition marks a significant advancement for Exo, facilitating the integration of AI-enabled ultrasound image access technology. This integration aims to streamline point-of-care (POC) ultrasound procedures, simplifying the process for caregivers to acquire and interpret ultrasound images more seamlessly. Medo AI's advanced technology empowers clinicians with AI-automated image acquisition and interpretation capabilities, enabling the diagnosis of both common and critical medical conditions with greater efficiency and accuracy. This strategic move underscores Exo's commitment to enhancing healthcare through innovative AI-driven solutions in the realm of ultrasound technology.
