The poc medical imaging market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.46 billion in 2025 to $1.54 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of emergency and critical care services, rising demand for rapid diagnostics, increasing use of mobile healthcare units, technological miniaturization of imaging devices, growing adoption of ultrasound imaging.
The poc medical imaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.9 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in point-of-care diagnostics, rising demand for decentralized healthcare delivery, expansion of ai-enabled imaging solutions, growing use of home-based diagnostic tools, increasing focus on workflow efficiency in hospitals. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of portable imaging devices, rising use of bedside diagnostic imaging, growing integration of AI-based image interpretation, expansion of handheld ultrasound applications, enhanced focus on rapid clinical decision support.
The expanding geriatric population is expected to drive the growth of the POC medical imaging market going forward. The geriatric population consists of individuals typically aged 65 years and above. POC medical imaging plays an important role in geriatric care by providing rapid and easily accessible diagnostic imaging, addressing the specific healthcare needs of elderly patients, and enabling timely diagnosis and intervention for age related conditions. For instance, in January 2024, according to the Population Reference Bureau, a US based private nonprofit organization focused on demographic statistics, the population of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to grow from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, representing a 47% increase. Therefore, the rising geriatric population is contributing to the growth of the POC medical imaging market.
Major companies operating in the POC medical imaging market are focusing on technological innovations such as AI enabled portable ultrasound systems to support rapid bedside diagnostics, improve workflow efficiency, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and increase accessibility in emergency and critical care environments. AI enabled portable ultrasound systems integrate compact, handheld hardware with advanced imaging software and automated interpretation algorithms, allowing clinicians to perform high quality imaging directly at the point of care compared with traditional fixed and bulky ultrasound systems that require specialized operators. For instance, in June 2025, Royal Philips N.V., a Netherlands based health technology company, launched the Flash Ultrasound System 5100 POC. This system delivers high image clarity through advanced transducer technology, incorporates AI assisted automated measurements, features an intuitive touchscreen interface for real time imaging, and supports rapid diagnostics in emergency, intensive care, and musculoskeletal applications, offering a faster and more accessible alternative to conventional imaging solutions.
In February 2023, GE HealthCare, a US based provider of medical imaging and diagnostic equipment, acquired Caption Health for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, GE HealthCare aims to enhance its point of care ultrasound offerings by integrating Caption Health’s AI guided image interpretation software, enabling clinicians to conduct high quality scans outside traditional radiology departments. Caption Health is a US based company that develops AI powered ultrasound guidance software for point of care imaging, including bedside and emergency care applications.
