United States Diagnostic Imaging Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)

The major factors driving the US diagnostic imaging market include the technological advancement in imaging modalities, growing awareness regarding preventive care, the rising number of diagnostic imaging centers, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and increasing geriatric population.

• The United States is expected to experience an accelerated rate of the aging population, as compared to other developed countries. The growth in the aging population leads to an increase in the demand for imaging services since the elderly population is more prone to chronic diseases.
• According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Data, patients aged 65 years and above undergo diagnostic imaging two or more times more than the younger population. The number of times women undergo diagnostic imaging is expected to be slightly higher than that of men. The proportion of the older population in the United States, with favorable insurance coverage policies, is likely to drive the market.
• According to the estimates of the American Cancer Society, in 2018, there were 1,735,350 new cancer cases diagnosed and 609,640 cancer deaths in the United States. The rising number of cases of cancer is creating tremendous opportunities for market players.
