Global Computed Tomography Market to Reach USD 7.8 Billion by 2033, Propelled by Rising Prevalence of Chronic Conditions

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Computed Tomography Market by Type (Low Slice, Medium Slice, High Slice, Cone Beam), Application (Oncology, Neurology, Cardiovascular, Musculoskeletal, and Others), End User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers, and Others), and Region 2025-2033," the global computed tomography market size reached USD 4.9 Billion in 2024. Computed tomography (CT) refers to a medical imaging technique that utilizes X-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It is comprised of several components, such as an X-ray tube, detectors, gantry, patient table, data acquisition system (DAS), image processing and storage, console, and user interface. Computed tomography is widely used for diagnosis, cancer detection, emergency medicine, interventional procedures, virtual endoscopy, orthopedics, and cardiovascular imaging. As compared to traditional X-ray imaging, CT is a safe, reliable, and highly efficient technique that offers better visualization of organs, bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. It can also generate images in multiple planes, including axial, sagittal, and coronal views, which enables healthcare professionals to examine structures from different angles for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Computed Tomography Market Trends:

The escalating prevalence of chronic conditions, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and neurological disorders, is propelling the market growth. CT is widely used for the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of diseases, which aids healthcare professionals in decision-making and improving clinical outcomes. Along with this, the rising geriatric population, which is highly susceptible to developing chronic illnesses, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the growing awareness among the masses regarding early disease diagnosis to prevent future complications, enable early intervention, and reduce healthcare expenditure is providing a boost to the market growth. Additionally, the recent development of photon-counting detectors that improve spectral imaging, material decomposition, and reduce radiation dose by optimizing energy-specific imaging is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, the introduction of dual-energy computed tomography, which utilizes different levels of X-rays to provide additional information about tissue composition and characteristics, is positively influencing the market growth. Apart from this, the implementation of supportive government policies to spread awareness regarding chronic illnesses and provide access to high-quality treatments is favoring the market growth. Other factors, including increasing demand for minimally invasive (MI) procedures, rising investments in the development of advanced CT scanners, and the growing number of healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and clinics, are anticipated to drive the market growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market value is expected to reach USD 7.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.01% during 2025-2033.
