The ambulatory X-ray devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.11 billion in 2024 to $2.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in the number of ambulatory care centers, growing preference among patients for receiving care in outpatient, growth of x-ray device deployment, growing geriatric population, and increasing focus on early diagnosis.

The ambulatory X-ray devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.99 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for portable x-ray machines, growth of point-of-care diagnostics, growing demand for point-of-care imaging, increase in prevalence of other chronic conditions, and increase in the prevalence of arthritis and other orthopedic conditions. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in making x-ray devices, integration of x-ray devices with digital health technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications in x-ray, advanced imaging capabilities, and product innovations.

The growing prevalence of orthopedic conditions is anticipated to drive the expansion of the ambulatory X-ray device market. Orthopedic conditions encompass various disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. The increase in these conditions is attributed to factors such as an aging population, the obesity epidemic, participation in sports, occupational hazards, and advancements in diagnostic capabilities. Ambulatory X-ray devices are crucial for diagnosing and managing orthopedic conditions, facilitating early detection and improved monitoring of treatments. For example, research published in February 2023 by the National Library of Medicine forecasts significant increases in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures, with THA procedures expected to rise to 719,364 and TKA procedures to 1.22 million by 2040. Additionally, TKA numbers are projected to reach 2.91 million and THA to 1.98 million by 2060. Thus, the growing prevalence of orthopedic conditions is fueling the demand for ambulatory X-ray devices.

Key players in the ambulatory X-ray devices market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as digital mobile X-ray systems, to enhance imaging capabilities and portability, facilitating efficient and accurate diagnostics at the point of care.
