Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is transforming the landscape of diagnosis, particularly in emergency diagnosis and ambulatory surgery centers. Compact CT imaging devices enhance disease detection by delivering 3D images of internal structures, crucial for diagnosing lung cancer, brain tumors, and traumatic brain injury. Healthcare providers are increasingly relying on computed tomography equipment for rapid assessment, improving patient happiness through more efficient scanning protocols and real-time data. With AI-powered medical devices and cloud-based AI analysis, the accuracy and speed of disease detection are significantly enhanced, though total cost of diagnosis and high expense remain considerations. Radiographers and healthcare staff benefit from advanced photon-counting technology, which reduces radiation dose and improves energy efficiency. This technology is vital for managing chronic diseases, including chronic respiratory conditions and musculoskeletal issues, especially within the geriatric population. Enhanced medical technology supports specialists in providing accurate and timely care.

Key Market Driver

The global market for Point of Care (PoC) CT imaging equipment is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders, particularly in the aging population. Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders are on the rise, necessitating the use of advanced diagnostic tools like PoC CT imaging equipment for timely and accurate diagnosis. In critical care settings like emergency rooms and intensive care units, PoC CT imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and therapy of various conditions, including stroke, trauma, and infectious diseases. Manufacturers of PoC CT imaging equipment, such as Neurologica, Varian, and others, are focusing on obtaining CE marking to expand their reach in Europe and other regions.

Further, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has further accelerated the adoption of PoC CT imaging equipment in remote areas and resource-limited settings for the diagnosis of COVID-19 and other conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features in PoC CT imaging solutions are enabling healthcare professionals to improve workflow efficiency and provide quality care at an affordable cost. Outpatient services, radiology centers, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers are increasingly investing in PoC CT imaging equipment for patient treatment and diagnostic fees.

Significant Market Trends

A key factor shaping the point-of-care CT imaging market growth is the integration of AI with CT imaging.  The main advantage of the integration of AI with POC computed tomography imaging equipment is that it facilitates end-users to automate and standardize complex diagnostic procedures, enhance patient experience and outcomes, and reduce the cost of healthcare. In addition, AI helps to analyze and interpret a large amount of data from the results of CT scans thereby increasing productivity, improving accuracy, and reducing errors in diagnosis for radiologists and technicians.

Moreover, AI plays a major role in the image acquisition, processing, and interpretation of computed tomography scans. Some of the key AI techniques including object detection and image segmentation, facilitate radiologists and technicians to identify and compare relevant patterns and other imaging data faster and more accurately. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenges

High costs associated with POC CT imaging are a major challenge hindering market growth. The high cost of medical imaging equipment and procedures is a significant burden on the patients and end-users. For example,  the average cost of an MRI machine is USDUSD300,000-USD2,000,000. Some of the additional costs include remodeling, maintenance, and installation. 

Moreover, there is a regular need for annual service maintenance for POC computed tomography imaging equipment.  Some of the other costs include preventive maintenance costs, including those related to parts, labor costs, and technicians' pay which adds to the overall costs. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the point of care (POC) CT imaging systems. Therefore, it is expected to hinder growth during the market forecast period.
