Analyst’s Viewpoint

The CT Scanner market analysis explains growth drivers, such as the increased prevalence of chronic diseases, growing demand for early diagnosis, and the development of healthcare infrastructure. Further, technological advancements in CT scanners are anticipated to introduce new trends in the market during 2022­–2030.

A computerized tomography (CT) scanner is a medical imaging technology device that uses X-rays from multiple angles to generate detailed images of the body's bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. These images provide more detail than traditional X-rays. In addition, CT scanners are widely used to examine people who may have internal injuries due to car accidents or other types of traumas. This scan can visualize almost all body parts and help diagnose injuries or diseases. Additionally, it is used to plan medical, surgical, or radiation treatment for the affected areas during disease diagnosis.

Market Insights

Increased Prevalence of Chronic Diseases to Fuel CT Scanner Market

As per the article published by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering in June 2022, CT has evolved into an effective screening method for detecting potential cancers or lesions in the abdomen. A heart CT scan may be recommended when different sorts of cardiac illnesses or anomalies are suspected. CT scans of the head can also be used to detect injuries, tumors, clots that cause stroke, bleeding, and other diseases. It can examine the lungs to detect malignancies, pulmonary embolisms (blood clots), excess fluid, and other diseases, including emphysema or pneumonia. A CT scan is especially beneficial for detecting complicated bone fractures, badly degraded joints, or bone malignancies because it generates more detail than a traditional x-ray. Therefore, the rising frequency of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurology diseases, and orthopedic problems has resulted in a vast patient population getting computed tomography scans across the world. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2021, 1,898,160 new cancer cases were reported in the US. As a result, the rising prevalence of cancer throughout the world is boosting demand for computed tomography scanners. In addition, as per the article published by Harvard Health in September 2021, an estimated 90.0 million CT scan procedures are performed in the US annually.

Leading players are introducing advanced technological products to gain an edge over their competitors. For instance, in April 2021, Hitachi, Ltd. announced the launch of a newly designed Scenaria 64-slice CT scanner. The product is designed to reduce radiation dose, improve efficiency, and cater to interventionists in their practice. Hitachi aims to strengthen its product portfolio in a highly competitive market with this product launch.

Future Trend

Technological Advancements in CT Scanners emerge as a future trend in CT Scanner Market

With concerns about radiation exposure, there has been a significant focus on dose-reduction technologies in CT scanners. This includes advancements in iterative reconstruction techniques, automatic exposure control, and other dose optimization strategies to minimize radiation dose while maintaining image quality. According to the American Cancer Society, yearly screening with a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan is recommended for adults aged 50 years and above who smoke or have a history of smoking for lung cancer.

The study published by Science Direct in 2022 analyzed the connection between incidental respiratory disease-related findings from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) and respiratory disease mortality (RDM), excluding lung cancer detected during low-dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screenings. In the study, out of 26,722 participants in the NLST LDCT arm, 25,002 underwent both the baseline and a subsequent LDCT screening. The study found that Emphysema and reticular opacities, both incidental respiratory-related findings on NLST LDCT screenings, were linked with higher RDM.

Various strategies adopted by key players are boosting the market growth. For instance, in December 2023, Fujifilm India collaborated with Soorya Diagnostics LLP. As part of this collaboration, Fujifilm placed its most recent CT Scan equipment at Soorya Diagnostics Center to foster screening culture and provide people in the region with access to quality healthcare services.
