The global breast imaging market size was estimated at USD 5.45 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 9.00 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2025 to 2030. Factors such as the rising prevalence of breast cancer, technological breakthroughs in the domain of breast imaging, and investment from several organizations in breast cancer screening programs drive the breast imaging market.
According to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), by 2030, the number of cases of breast cancer is expected to reach about 2.1 million globally. According to a new report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), breast cancer cases are expected to increase by 38 percent globally by 2050, with annual deaths from the disease projected to rise by 68 percent. This aspect is expected to contribute to the growth of the breast imaging market over the forecast period.
The growing prevalence of breast cancer and other breast-related abnormalities is expected to drive the expansion of the breast imaging market significantly. According to data published by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. in June 2025, approximately 1 in 8 women in the U.S. is expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. In addition, projections from the International Agency for Research on Cancer estimate a 27.8% increase in breast cancer incidence in the U.S. between 2022 and 2050, with cases expected to reach approximately 350,693 by 2050. This substantial rise in cancer cases is anticipated to fuel the demand for breast magnetic resonance imaging procedures across the country.
Widespread research in the development of hybrid imaging systems provides high growth opportunities and also aids the market growth. Recent developments in imaging technology have completely revolutionized the nature of treatment and how it is approached. To view the metabolic data and anatomical characteristics of the organs, it has become more crucial to combine imaging methods such as CT scans, MRIs, PET, and others. Furthermore, the quality of breast pictures, patient comfort, and patient dose have all been enhanced by these integrated imaging modalities. Thereby, owing to these advantages, manufacturers across the globe are concentrating more on the introduction of new products to improve the sensitivity and precision of breast cancer diagnostics. For instance, in January 2021, Seno Medical Instruments obtained premarket approval from The Center for Devices and Radiological Health in the U.S. for its diagnostic breast cancer imaging technology. The novel technology specialized in differentiating malignant and benign breast lesions.
Furthermore, the increasing number of clinical trials aimed at evaluating advanced magnetic resonance imaging modalities for cancer detection and developing innovative imaging solutions is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the breast imaging market. These trials are crucial in improving diagnostic accuracy, enhancing early detection, and validating new technologies.
