Spinal imaging involves utilizing radio waves and magnetic fields in MRI to generate detailed images of the spine and surrounding tissues. It aids in monitoring spinal cord changes, fractures, post-surgery alterations, and other related conditions.
The primary products within the spinal imaging market comprise X-ray, CT scans, MRI scans, and Ultrasound. X-rays are employed to assess various spinal areas, while myelography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scans are complementary techniques utilized to detect disorders in the spine, back, or neck. These techniques have diverse applications, including diagnosing spinal infections, vertebral fractures, spinal cancer, spinal cord issues, nerve compressions, among others. They cater to different end-users such as hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and ambulatory care centers.
The spinal imaging market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides spinal imaging market statistics, including spinal imaging industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a spinal imaging market share, detailed spinal imaging market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the spinal imaging industry. This spinal 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 spinal imaging market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.14 billion in 2024 to $2.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population and orthopedic conditions, rise in musculoskeletal disorders, advancements in medical imaging technologies, increasing incidence of spinal injuries, growing awareness and healthcare access.
The spinal imaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in lifestyle-related spinal conditions, increasing surgical interventions, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), expanding access to specialized healthcare services, rising burden of chronic spinal disorders. Major trends in the forecast period include development of multimodal imaging solutions, rise in minimally invasive spinal procedures, increased utilization of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), integration of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), focus on functional and dynamic imaging techniques.
The spinal imaging market is witnessing growth attributed to the increasing incidence of spinal cord injuries (SCI). These injuries, caused by sudden trauma to the spinal cord or nerves, significantly impact mobility and bodily functions. Spinal imaging aids in evaluating and treating these injuries effectively. Reports from the United Spinal Association in July 2022 highlighted around 17,700 annual spinal cord injury cases in the US, predominantly affecting men at an average age of 43. Such injuries stem mainly from vehicular accidents, falls, violence, sports, and medical procedures. Hence, the growing occurrence of SCI is a driving factor for the spinal imaging market.
The increasing incidence of sports injuries is expected to drive the growth of the spinal imaging market in the coming years. Sports injuries refer to harm or injuries sustained during sports or athletic activities, which can vary from mild to severe and affect different parts of the body. Spinal imaging plays a crucial role in managing these injuries by providing precise diagnostic information that enables healthcare professionals to evaluate the extent of spinal damage and develop effective treatment plans. For example, in April 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations agency based in Switzerland, reported that approximately 17 million people worldwide live with spinal cord injuries (SCI), with 2.5 million new cases documented in 2023. This represents a 15% increase from 2022, with 25% of these injuries associated with sports activities. Consequently, the rise in sports injuries is significantly contributing to the growth of the spinal imaging market.
Technological advancement is a significant trend gaining traction in the spinal imaging market. Leading companies in this sector are developing new advanced technologies to strengthen their market position and meet customer demands. For example, in October 2024, Koninklijke Philips N.V., a Netherlands-based company specializing in healthcare technology and imaging solutions, launched the Philips Radiology Operations Command Center (ROCC). This innovative, vendor-agnostic solution enhances real-time collaboration among radiology teams by enabling remote communication between technologists, radiologists, and imaging operations across multiple locations. By utilizing secure telepresence capabilities, ROCC eliminates traditional communication barriers and improves the efficiency of imaging care delivery.
Leading firms are intensifying efforts to introduce cutting-edge imaging tools such as DeepSpine, aiming for a competitive edge. DeepSpine, launched in January 2023 by DeepTek, is an AI-powered lumbar spine quantification and metrics tool. Designed to analyze MRI scans, it offers a sophisticated solution for lumbar spine MRI studies, aiding radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physiologists in obtaining objective, automated quantification and documentation of the lumbar spine.
In August 2022, Wenzel Spine, Inc., a US-based medical technology firm specializing in minimally invasive treatments for spinal diseases, acquired Statera Spine for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Wenzel Spine offered complete solutions to spine surgeons and their patients with innovative diagnostic and planning tools that complemented their already cutting-edge minimally invasive implant technology. Statera Spine is a US-based software-enabled spine imaging analytics company.
