The global mobile tomography market size was USD 7 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 11.3 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% during 2024–2032. The market growth is attributed to the increasing integration of mobile tomography with telemedicine platforms to serve patient’s needs.
Growing awareness and acceptance of point-of-care diagnostics are resulting in high utilization of mobile tomography solutions, further boosting the market. Mobile tomography systems are important in point-of-care settings by providing healthcare providers with immediate access to diagnostic imaging capabilities. Additionally, growing number of aged people suffering from chronic disease further boosts the demand for portable advanced mobile tomography solutions in the coming years.
As per the report published by the WHO on October 1, 2022, the global population aged over 60 years is projected to nearly double from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050.
The use of artificial intelligence is likely to boost the mobile tomography market. AI-powered image analysis algorithms rapidly analyze vast amounts of imaging data to detect subtle abnormalities and patterns missed by human observers. Moreover, AI-driven predictive analytics identifies the risk of developing certain medical conditions for early intervention and personalized treatment plans.
Growing adoption of telemedicine solutions is projected to drive the market during the forecast period. Mobile tomography systems provide healthcare professionals with immediate access to diagnostic imaging capabilities. This eliminates the need for patients to wait for imaging appointments at centralized facilities. Moreover, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, further fuels the need for accurate and efficient diagnostic tools, thereby boosting the adoption of mobile tomography systems.
According to the report published by WHO on June 11, 2021, around 17.9 million individuals were affected by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in 2019, accounting for 32% of all global fatalities.
High cost associated with mobile tomography systems is expected to hinder the market. The initial investment required for acquiring these systems and operational expenses pose a financial burden on healthcare facilities with limited healthcare budgets. Moreover, the limited availability of skilled healthcare professionals trained in mobile imaging techniques further hampers the market.
Rising investments in healthcare infrastructure and technological innovations are likely to create immense opportunities for the players competing in the market. Governments are increasingly investing in the development of healthcare infrastructure to meet the growing demand for advanced diagnostic and imaging services. This includes the procurement of modern medical equipment, including mobile tomography systems to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, the growing use of mobile health (mHealth) solutions and remote monitoring technologies further fuels the demand for mobile tomography solutions.
