Mobile Imaging Services Global Market Report 2024

Mobile imaging services engage in providing imaging services like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear imaging directly to medical facilities, homes, and businesses. These services utilize mobile equipment, overcoming location or cost constraints for patients. Mobile imaging services cover a range of diagnostic procedures, including X-rays, electrocardiograms (EKGs), and ultrasounds, delivered to medical facilities, households, and businesses. Typically, this approach is both cost-effective and faster than third-party alternatives, offering support to overwhelmed in-house imaging departments.

Key products in the mobile imaging services market include X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, mammography, bone densitometry, and others. For instance, in mobile X-ray, digital radiology (DR) systems with built-in or tethered flat panel sensors transform X-rays into visible light using a scintillator material. Ultrasound employs sound waves through lightweight devices to produce sonograms of body organs, tissues, and structures. CT scans use noninvasive imaging techniques to create detailed body images, while MRI utilizes magnetic resonance instead of radiation for three-dimensional anatomical images. Mammography involves low-energy X-rays for early detection of breast cancer, and bone densitometry measures bone density. Mobile imaging services find application across various verticals, including hospitals, private clinics, home healthcare providers, rehabilitation centers, geriatric care and hospice agencies, sports organizations, and others.

The mobile imaging services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.93 billion in 2023 to $19.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as an aging population, a focus on cost-efficiency, the importance of emergency medical services, the implementation of disease screening programs, the emphasis on chronic disease management, and the presence of regulatory frameworks.

The mobile imaging services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.04 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as advancements in rural healthcare, the expansion of telehealth services, global health initiatives, efforts in infectious disease control, and the increasing prominence of point-of-care testing. Notable trends expected during this period encompass the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), a focus on data security, continuous technological advancements, the rise of remote monitoring, and the utilization of point-of-care ultrasound.

The anticipated increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases is set to drive the growth of the mobile imaging services market in the forecast period. Chronic diseases are prolonged health issues that last for more than a year, requiring continuous medical attention and limiting daily activities. These diseases, which include cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, are a leading cause of death and disability globally, affecting people across all socioeconomic backgrounds. Mobile imaging services play a crucial role in conducting vital screenings using various imaging technologies like X-Ray, EKG, and ultrasound. For example, the United Nations estimates that chronic diseases will account for 70% of total global deaths by 2030. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a significant factor propelling the growth of the mobile imaging services market.

The rising number of cancer cases is expected to be a driving factor for the mobile imaging services market. Factors such as changes in lifestyle, western diets, excessive alcohol consumption, and tobacco smoking contribute to the increasing incidence of cancer. Mobile imaging services play a vital role in the battle against cancer by enabling early detection and diagnosis. By bringing imaging technology directly to patients, these services facilitate the identification of cancerous growths and tumors in their early and more treatable stages. According to estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), new cancer cases worldwide are projected to reach 27.5 million, with 16.3 million cancer-related deaths by 2040. The growing number of cancer cases will drive the expansion of the mobile imaging services market.

Strategic collaborations and acquisitions are a notable trend gaining popularity in the mobile imaging services market. Key players in the market are focusing on collaborations and acquisitions to foster innovation and maintain competitiveness. For example, in April 2023, Photonis, a France-based manufacturer of electro-optical detection and imaging systems, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telops, a Canadian company specializing in high-performance imaging systems and infrared cameras. This strategic move aims to provide unique high-end imaging products to Business-to-Business customers through enhanced component manufacturing capabilities, geographical reach, and advanced technology.

Major companies in the mobile imaging services market are introducing innovative products such as the Swift Ray 1, a hardware device that wirelessly attaches to a smartphone camera to capture comprehensive clinical data, supporting the assessment, treatment, and monitoring of skin and wound conditions. For instance, in March 2022, Swift Medical, a Canada-based digital wound care technology company, launched Swift Ray 1, offering powerful medical imaging that fits in the palm of a clinician or patient's hand, making it accessible anywhere from hospitals to homes.

In April 2021, DispatchHealth, a US-based provider of in-home medical care services, acquired Professional Portable X-ray (PPX) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will enable DispatchHealth to further expand its services and continue building the largest home care system. Professional Portable X-ray (PPX) is a US-based mobile radiology service provider.
