The Japan medical imaging market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.4 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases attributed to a poor lifestyle, the need for early detection tools, improved shift time technology, increased government investment and reimbursement initiatives, and market players creating new facilities in developing nations are accelerating the market growth.
The rising preference for non-invasive diagnostic techniques are driving the demand for the cardiovascular ultrasound, and X-ray market hence, boosting the growth of Japan’s medical imaging industry. According to the Springer’s study published in June 2021, Japan’s researchers stated that during COVID-19 cases were being increasingly registered, radiographic screening proved useful by facilitating fast & early detection of pneumonia through radiological findings. Therefore, Chest radiography was used to rapidly screen for COVID-19 cases, facilitating hospitals in a pandemic circumstance by detecting significance in patient treatment.
The growing number of individuals seeking COVID-19 diagnoses through CT scans contributed to a surge in the computed tomography market. Prominent companies within the sector, such as Siemens Healthineers, have said that the pandemic phase doubled their CT scanner volume of sales, so contributing to the CT market's overall expansion.
