A computed tomography (CT) scanner is a medical imaging device that combines X-rays with computer processing to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It helps healthcare professionals diagnose diseases, guide treatments, and track conditions by providing more accurate information than traditional X-ray images.
The primary types of computed tomography (CT) scanners are stationary and portable CT scanners. A stationary CT scanner is a large, fixed device placed in a designated room within a hospital or clinic. It comes in different configurations, such as O-arm and C-arm. The technologies used in CT scanning include high-slice, mid-slice, low-slice, and cone beam computed tomography. CT scanners are employed in various fields, including neurology, oncology, cardiovascular care, and orthopedics. They are used by a range of end users, such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, research labs, academic institutions, contract research organizations, ambulatory care centers, and veterinary clinics and hospitals.

The computed tomography (CT) scanner market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The computed tomography (CT) scanner market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.58 billion in 2024 to $8.28 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, a growing demand for early and accurate diagnosis, an aging population, rising healthcare spending, increased use of computed tomography for cancer detection, and the rising adoption of minimally invasive diagnostic procedures.
The computed tomography (CT) scanner market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.72 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by the growing demand for portable computed tomography scanners, an increased use of CT in preventive healthcare, rising investments in healthcare infrastructure, a greater focus on personalized medicine, the expansion of medical tourism in emerging markets, and government initiatives aimed at healthcare modernization. Key trends during this period include the development of artificial intelligence-based image analysis, advancements in low-dose radiation CT scanners, the rise of portable and mobile CT scanners, improvements in 3D and 4D CT imaging, the emergence of real-time CT imaging technologies, and greater automation in CT workflows and reporting.
The increasing prevalence of cancer is expected to drive the growth of the computed tomography (CT) scanner market in the future. Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. Its rise is largely due to the aging global population, as longer life expectancies lead to more people living into older age groups where the combined effects of genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and weakened immune systems significantly increase the risk of developing various cancers. CT scanners play a crucial role in cancer care by providing detailed cross-sectional and 3D images that assist in early detection, precise localization, accurate staging, treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring of tumors. This allows clinicians to make informed decisions, ultimately improving patient outcomes across the cancer care continuum. For example, in April 2024, the American Cancer Society reported that in 2022, there were an estimated 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths worldwide, with the number of cancer cases expected to rise to 35 million by 2050. As a result, the growing prevalence of cancer is driving the expansion of the CT scanner market.
Leading companies in the CT scanner market are focusing on developing cutting-edge technologies, such as volume imaging, to enhance image quality, reduce scan times, lower radiation exposure, and improve diagnostic accuracy for various clinical applications. Volume imaging technology enables the capture of entire anatomical volumes in a single rotation, significantly enhancing image resolution and reducing motion artifacts. For instance, in March 2025, GE Healthcare Technologies launched the Revolution Vibe CT system, which features unlimited one-beat cardiac imaging and AI-powered workflow enhancements. This system provides high-quality images even in challenging cases, such as atrial fibrillation and heavily calcified coronaries, and simplifies patient preparation by eliminating the need for ECG connections. The Revolution Vibe system aims to improve diagnostic confidence and patient comfort while enhancing workflow efficiency.
In January 2023, GE Healthcare Technologies acquired IMACTIS for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances GE Healthcare's image-guided therapy portfolio by incorporating IMACTIS's advanced CT-Navigation technology, which improves the precision and efficiency of interventional procedures. IMACTIS, based in France, specializes in developing CT-based navigation systems that assist in guiding medical procedures such as biopsies and ablations.
