Global Digital Radiology Market Expected to Reach USD 5.0 Billion by 2033 - IMARC Group

Global Digital Radiology Market Statistics, Outlook and Regional Analysis 2025-2033

The global digital radiology market size was valued at USD 3.3 Billion in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 5.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.23% from 2025 to 2033.

There has been a significant increase in chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and musculoskeletal disorders. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, there were nearly 20 million new cancer diagnoses and 9.7 million fatalities. Cancer affects around one in every five persons in their lifetime, with one in every nine men and one in every twelve women dying from it. Similarly, as per the American Cancer Society, in 2024, the United States is expected to see 2,001,140 new cancer cases and 611,720 cancer deaths. This has further escalated the demand for advanced diagnostic imaging solutions, including digital radiology. 

The global rise in the elderly population is significantly contributing to the market growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030, one in every six persons in the world will be 60 or older. At this time, the proportion of the population aged 60 and up will rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the global population of persons aged 60 and up will double (2.1 billion). Many elderly individuals require repeated imaging over time, which boosts demand for digital radiology systems capable of providing high-quality, accurate, and efficient results. Moreover, continuous innovations have enhanced image quality, reduced radiation exposure, and improved diagnostic capabilities. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into digital radiology systems has further streamlined workflows and increased diagnostic accuracy. For instance, in January 2024, Boston Imaging, Samsung's digital radiography (DR) and ultrasound business's headquarters in the United States, signed a supply contract with Lunit Inc., a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) powered solutions for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, to enable faster and more accurate chest screenings for timely interventions with better patient outcomes. The Lunit INSIGHT CXR, an AI-powered chest X-ray analysis solution, and the Lunit Insight CXR Triage, an FDA 510(k)-cleared AI triage solution for critical chest findings, will allow Samsung's computer aided detection (CAD) AI to assist radiologists in managing the unprecedented volume of patient exams by prioritizing those with suspected abnormalities.
