UAE Diagnostic Imaging Market By Type (X-Ray Imaging Solutions, Ultrasound Systems, MRI Systems, CT Scanners, Nuclear Imaging Solutions, Mammography, Others), By Mobility, By Source, By Application, By End User, By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2027

UAE diagnostic imaging market is anticipated to register growth with an impressive CAGR in the forecast period, 2023-2027, on the account of rising demands for the early and effective diagnosis of diseases. Increasing instances of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurological diseases, etc. further drive the growth of the UAE diagnostic imaging market in the upcoming five years. Moreover, increasing applications of radiological approaches and imaging techniques for the identification of diseases, diseased cells, and organs further aid the growth of the UAE diagnostic imaging market in the next five years.

Radiological techniques that function in providing detailed images of the insides of the human body on a screen or film are diagnostic imaging techniques. These techniques are applied mostly in the cases where identification of the health condition is required through analyzing the organ or organ system inside the body. Various types of diagnostic imaging include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray computed tomography scans (CT - Scan), positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT), ultrasound imaging, x-ray imaging, etc. The basic principle is to use light, sound, or magnetic fields to create an image on detectors and interpret it to understand the abnormalities and thus diagnose the ailment to provide necessary treatment.

Healthcare Infrastructure Developments Promise Market Growth

Due to increasing instances of chronic diseases, and rapidly increasing demands from patients looking for regular diagnostic checkups and monitoring in case of family histories of chronic diseases, demand for diagnostic tests is increasing. Such demands further lead to the surge in demand for healthcare infrastructures like hospitals, clinics, diagnostic imaging labs, etc. Also, increasing the demands for medical devices and equipment are research institutes and academic institutions that are consistently researching diseases and their effect on humans. These factors are anticipated to substantially aid the growth of the UAE diagnostic imaging market in the future five years.

The United Arab Emirates has an advanced healthcare industry. The country currently (2020) holds approximately 1500 medical centers, 41 standalone laboratories, and 95 laboratories attached to hospitals out of which 33 are in the government sector. These diagnostic laboratories can test over 20,000 samples per day grossing over AED470 million to AED550 million every year.

Growing Disease Burden Drives Market Growth
