Oncology is where medical imaging AI is being tested most aggressively-and where it is starting to stick. Breast and lung screening programs, complex CT/MRI staging, PET-based theranostics, and RT planning are all pushing clinicians toward faster, more consistent, more quantitative imaging decisions.
This Markintel(TM) Horizon report quantifies and explains that shift. It analyzes the World Market for Oncology Imaging AI from 2023 to 2032, using a consistent segmentation across:
- Modality: CT, X-ray/DR (incl. DBT), MRI, PET/Nuclear, Ultrasound
- Tumor site: Breast, Lung/Chest, Prostate, Colorectal, Liver, Neuro-oncology, and others
- Clinical application & pathway stage: from Screening & Risk through Treatment Planning and Response
- Revenue stream & buyer type: Hardware attach, Software, Services, Cloud/PPU across Cancer Centers, IDNs/AMCs, Community providers, and Teleradiology
Beyond the numbers, the report applies the full Markintel framework stack-M3, ARC-Index, GTM Growth-Maturity, and the new Upgrade & Package Ladders-to show how AI Software vendors, Imaging OEMs, RT planning providers, AI Platforms, Providers/Telerad networks, and Imaging-Pharma/CROs can convert opportunity into repeatable, profitable business.
The goal is not just to describe the market, but to give executives an insights-to-action playbook: where Oncology Imaging AI is truly ready to scale, which clusters will capture the value, and what evidence, packaging, and partnerships will matter most over the next three to five years.
Market Snapshot
Oncology Imaging AI has moved from experimental pilots to a fast scaling market. The report sizes a global opportunity that expands more than 10x between 2023 and 2032, with a compound annual growth rate in the low 30s. North America remains the largest revenue pool over the horizon, but Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region, overtaking Europe on momentum as national breast and lung programs, domestic OEMs, and cloud first deployments ramp. Europe stays a strong second engine, with adoption paced by MDR, HTA, and national screening strategies.
Most spend concentrates in CT, X ray/DBT and MRI oncology workflows, with PET/Nuclear and Ultrasound forming smaller but high value niches tied to theranostics, quantification, and interventional oncology. The mix of value pools also shifts along the pathway: Detection & Diagnosis remains foundational, but more spend migrates toward screening, treatment planning, and response assessment, where lesion level segmentation, dosimetry, and structured reporting are becoming mandatory for modern cancer programs.
The report quantifies Oncology Imaging AI across regions and countries, modalities, tumor sites, clinical applications, pathway stages, revenue streams, and end use settings (cancer centers, IDNs/AMCs, community providers, teleradiology). Detailed numbers are reserved for report buyers; the public snapshot is directional by design.
What's Covered:
- Global market sizing & forecast (2023-2032) - total Oncology Imaging AI market today and through 2032, with growth outlook, scenario commentary and key inflection points along the decade.
- Granular segmentation of value pools - analysis by modality, tumor site, clinical application, pathway stage, revenue stream and end-use setting (cancer centers, IDNs/AMCs, community hospitals, imaging centers, teleradiology), aligned with the broader Markintel(TM) AI-in-Imaging taxonomy.
- Regional & country perspectives - detailed views for North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa, including commentary on leading and fast-growth countries, screening initiatives, and local regulatory/reimbursement dynamics.
