Top drivers of change in the imaging market

Although the imaging market is enjoying a period of growth, health systems and radiology practices must grapple with a shift toward freestanding imaging centers, growing private equity interest, and workforce shortages across all levels of practice.

The overall imaging market is enjoying modest growth as a result of an aging and growing U.S. population. Diagnostic imaging volumes are projected to grow for most modalities, though interventional radiology is poised to see even greater expansion. Due to the strong and consistent growth in these sectors, the market size for imaging equipment is trending upwards and the software market is expected to almost double in size before the end of the decade.

Download the report with strategic insights on the drivers below:

1. Sites-of-care shift toward ambulatory imaging

Imaging services continue an uneven shift toward freestanding care, and previously-insulated markets may be vulnerable.

2. Private equity reshapes radiology practices

Private equity firms are driving the consolidation of radiology practices and funding new imaging technologies.

3. Workforce shortages affect all levels of industry

Shortages of radiologists, rad techs, and other support staff are compelling imaging leaders to update staff recruitment and retention strategies.
