Mobile C-arm Global Market Report 2024

The mobile c-arm market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.31 billion in 2023 to $1.39 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the increase in minimally invasive procedures, the aging population, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, expansions of hospitals and clinics, and a growing number of surgical procedures.

The mobile c-arm market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.75 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the portable and compact design of medical equipment, the development of global healthcare infrastructure, the rise of telemedicine and remote surgery, the adoption of value-based healthcare, and the incorporation of hybrid operating rooms. Key trends expected in this period encompass the integration of other imaging technologies, technological advancements, remote monitoring and diagnostics, customization, user-friendly interfaces, and the utilization of AI-driven image enhancement.

The anticipated growth in the mobile c-arm market is expected to be driven by the rising incidences of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, characterized by lasting three months or more, including conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, can benefit from the use of mobile c-arm devices. These devices contribute to improved clinical outcomes, potentially reducing revision rates and overall healthcare spending. For example, as of January 2023, the National Library of Medicine reported a projected 99.5% increase in the number of individuals aged 50 and older with at least one chronic condition in the United States, reaching 142.66 million by 2050. Consequently, the growth of the mobile c-arm market is influenced by the escalating incidence of chronic diseases.

The expansion of the mobile c-arm market is expected to be fueled by the increasing number of surgical procedures. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions performed by surgeons to address medical conditions, alleviate symptoms, or enhance overall patient health. Mobile c-arms play a crucial role in surgical settings, offering benefits such as improved visualization, enhanced precision, increased safety, and support for various medical specialties. Their versatility and real-time imaging capabilities make them valuable tools in modern operating rooms. As of June 2022, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) reported an increase in bariatric surgeries, with approximately 262,893 procedures conducted in 2021 compared to 198,651 in previous years. Hence, the surge in surgical procedures contributes to the growth of the mobile c-arm market.


Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the mobile C-arm market, with major companies in the sector adopting innovative technologies to maintain their market positions. For example, in May 2023, Koninklijke Philips N.V., a Netherlands-based health technology company, introduced the Philips image-guided therapy mobile C-arm system 1000, Zenition 10. This mobile arm system incorporates new flat panel detector technology from Philips, expanding access for more patients to routine surgical treatment and less invasive procedures. Philips Zenition 10 not only offers an affordable imaging solution but also provides the speed and efficiency necessary for handling high patient throughput. Its adaptability caters to the needs of various surgical specialties, including orthopedics and trauma, maximizing usage.

Prominent companies in the mobile C-arm market are focusing on the development of innovative solutions, such as compact mobile C-arm imaging systems, to gain a competitive advantage.
