Segment Analysis

The global Medical Imaging Market has been segmented based on product, and end-use.

The ultrasound segment held the largest share of 31.6% in 2024 and is expected to maintain its lead over the forecast period. The segment growth can be attributed to the rising number of ultrasound applications. Recent developments of advanced ultrasound transducers have opened new avenues for ultrasound devices into biomedical and cardiovascular imaging.

Moreover, a high focus on the development of portable ultrasound devices is expected to expand the applications of this modality in ambulatory as well as emergency care. Integration of artificial intelligence into ultrasound systems to automate the process of image quantification and selection, is also expected to influence the market growth.

Hospitals captured the largest share of 47.1% in 2024. Rising demand for advanced imaging modalities and the integration of surgical suits with imaging technologies are some of the factors driving the segment. Some of the countries in developed regions have shown a sharp rise in demand for these modalities in teaching hospitals as compared to general or special hospitals.

The developing countries in Asia Pacific region have witnessed a steep rise in the number of new hospitals. This can be attributed to the entry of multinational healthcare service providers. Healthcare service in these countries is dominated by private players.
