Overview

The medical imaging industry is undergoing a transformative shift as it grapples with escalating challenges such as the surge in imaging exams, leading to radiologists’ increasing workloads, complex diagnostic tasks, and a global shortage of trained staff, which has placed a growing burden on radiologists and healthcare systems alike. In response, automation and AI integration are growing and offering a pathway to alleviate and streamline radiologists' workloads and improve accuracy. This shift to AI-driven solutions not only enhances operational efficiency but also enables more patient-focused care.

Another area of growth for medical imaging is mobile imaging as it expands access to imaging services across the care continuum. Mobile point-of-care (POC) imaging is growing because it provides access to diagnostic imaging for patients in rural areas, as well as for elderly or immobile patients who require imaging at their bedsides or in non-hospital settings. Many medical imaging companies are developing strategies and innovative solutions to extend access to high-quality radiology services to underserved populations.

In terms of regional growth opportunities, the Chinese medical imaging industry is growing due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiometabolic diseases, as well as cancer. In addition, demand for minimally invasive procedures involving image-guided procedures and interventional radiology is growing. Moreover, in Asia-Pacific (APAC), China accounts for the largest share of the medical imaging industry, mainly due to the growing purchase of advanced imaging equipment.

• How can AI and cloud technologies address the growing shortage of trained radiologists in the medical imaging industry creating new growth opportunities?
• How can investments in medical imaging technology align with the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures and image-guided therapy (IGT) and achieve growth?
• How can mobile imaging solutions be integrated into existing healthcare systems to enhance patient care and drive growth?
