The global AI in medical imaging market size is expected to reach USD 20.2 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 35.11% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Moreover, developed countries have been investing in offering people access to inexpensive and advanced healthcare systems in response to this demographic challenge, ultimately boosting the market growth. Additionally, X-ray imaging technology is utilized to identify a variety of disorders, including fractures, infections, various malignancies, and arthritis. As a result, the rise in the incidence rate of these diseases is expected to have a positive impact on the market growth.

COVID-19 had a positive impact on the market as the majority of medical professionals chose imaging as one of the most popular COVID-19 screening modalities as it provided critical diagnostic in a short time. The entire set of imaging data has been used to research the virus and its effect on people of various demographics. Many hospitals have resorted to medical imaging and image analytics techniques to improve the identification and control of the virus as nearly every healthcare organization is working to manage COVID-19 better and limit its spread. For instance, in June 2020, a hospital in Florida, the Tampa General Hospital employed AI-driven technology to check people for COVID-19 before they interacted with staff members and other patients.
