Medical Digital Imaging System Market Report 2025

The medical digital imaging system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $23.64 billion in 2024 to $25.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the transition from analog to digital imaging, the expansion of healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets, government initiatives and funding, increased awareness and implementation of screening programs, and the adoption of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS).

The medical digital imaging system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.13 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. Growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the shift toward point-of-care and portable imaging solutions, increasing demand for advanced imaging modalities, rising preference for minimally invasive and image-guided procedures, the growing emphasis on personalized medicine and early disease detection, and the emergence of hybrid and multi-modality imaging systems. Key trends expected during this period include the integration of AI-powered image analysis, development of portable and point-of-care imaging devices, adoption of photon-counting CT technology, advancements in 3D and 4D imaging, and the rise of hybrid imaging modalities.

The increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases is expected to drive the growth of the medical digital imaging system market in the coming years. Lifestyle-related diseases are medical conditions that arise primarily from unhealthy habits such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. A key factor contributing to the rise in these diseases is physical inactivity, including prolonged sitting, reduced physical labor, and minimal daily movement. Medical digital imaging systems play a vital role in managing lifestyle-related diseases by enabling early and accurate detection of issues such as heart disease, complications from diabetes, and obesity-related conditions, which allows for timely intervention and improved disease management. For example, in June 2024, the National Health Service in the UK reported that in 2023, 3,615,330 people registered with a GP were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia, or pre-diabetes - an 18% increase from 3,065,825 cases in 2022. Therefore, the growing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases is fueling the demand for medical digital imaging systems.

Companies in the medical digital imaging system market are prioritizing technological innovations such as hospital-wide integrated platforms to improve diagnostic precision, reduce patient wait times, and enhance overall workflow efficiency within healthcare facilities. These integrated platforms unify various hospital departments and services under a single digital system, allowing seamless data sharing and coordination across the entire facility. For instance, in May 2023, Niagara Health, a Canadian healthcare network, launched an advanced digital imaging system across its hospitals aimed at improving patient care and outcomes. The new system integrates imaging functions into one digital platform, enabling faster image capture, high-resolution imaging for X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, and secure storage. It allows multiple departments to access images simultaneously, facilitating real-time diagnostics and better collaboration among healthcare providers. Additionally, it supports secure sharing with primary care providers and specialists, contributing to more effective treatment planning.

In April 2024, Shimadzu Corporation, a Japan-based company specializing in analytical and medical equipment, acquired California X-Ray Imaging Services Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition was intended to expand Shimadzu’s medical imaging operations in North America and enhance its service capabilities for diagnostic imaging solutions. California X-Ray Imaging Services Inc. is a U.S.-based company that specializes in medical digital imaging systems.

The medical digital imaging system market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as diagnostic imaging, image archiving, image-guided interventions, and remote image sharing and consultation. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The medical digital imaging system market also includes sales of digital X-ray systems, computed tomography (CT) scanners, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, ultrasound systems, and digital mammography systems. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
