Mobile Imaging Services Global Market Report 2025

Mobile imaging services engage in providing imaging services like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear imaging directly to medical facilities, homes, and businesses. These services utilize mobile equipment, overcoming location or cost constraints for patients. Mobile imaging services cover a range of diagnostic procedures, including X-rays, electrocardiograms (EKGs), and ultrasounds, delivered to medical facilities, households, and businesses. Typically, this approach is both cost-effective and faster than third-party alternatives, offering support to overwhelmed in-house imaging departments.

Key products in the mobile imaging services market include X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, mammography, bone densitometry, and others. For instance, in mobile X-ray, digital radiology (DR) systems with built-in or tethered flat panel sensors transform X-rays into visible light using a scintillator material. Ultrasound employs sound waves through lightweight devices to produce sonograms of body organs, tissues, and structures. CT scans use noninvasive imaging techniques to create detailed body images, while MRI utilizes magnetic resonance instead of radiation for three-dimensional anatomical images. Mammography involves low-energy X-rays for early detection of breast cancer, and bone densitometry measures bone density. Mobile imaging services find application across various verticals, including hospitals, private clinics, home healthcare providers, rehabilitation centers, geriatric care and hospice agencies, sports organizations, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The mobile imaging services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides mobile imaging services market statistics, including mobile imaging services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a mobile imaging services market share, detailed mobile imaging services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the mobile imaging services industry. This mobile imaging services 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 mobile imaging services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.13 billion in 2024 to $20.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging population, cost-efficiency, emergency medical services, disease screening programs, chronic disease management, regulatory frameworks.

The mobile imaging services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rural healthcare, telehealth services, global health initiatives, infectious disease control, point-of-care testing. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence (AI) integration, data security, technological advancements, remote monitoring, point-of-care ultrasound.

The forecast of 7.9% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may disrupt U.S. rural healthcare by increasing costs for portable Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) units and digital X-ray systems sourced from South Korea and Sweden, potentially compromising diagnostic access and raising mobile health service fees. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The anticipated increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases is set to drive the growth of the mobile imaging services market in the forecast period. Chronic diseases are prolonged health issues that last for more than a year, requiring continuous medical attention and limiting daily activities. These diseases, which include cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, are a leading cause of death and disability globally, affecting people across all socioeconomic backgrounds. Mobile imaging services play a crucial role in conducting vital screenings using various imaging technologies like X-Ray, EKG, and ultrasound. For example, the United Nations estimates that chronic diseases will account for 70% of total global deaths by 2030. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a significant factor propelling the growth of the mobile imaging services market.

The rising number of cancer cases is expected to be a driving factor for the mobile imaging services market. Factors such as changes in lifestyle, western diets, excessive alcohol consumption, and tobacco smoking contribute to the increasing incidence of cancer. Mobile imaging services play a vital role in the battle against cancer by enabling early detection and diagnosis. By bringing imaging technology directly to patients, these services facilitate the identification of cancerous growths and tumors in their early and more treatable stages. According to estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), new cancer cases worldwide are projected to reach 27.5 million, with 16.3 million cancer-related deaths by 2040. The growing number of cancer cases will drive the expansion of the mobile imaging services market.

Strategic collaborations and acquisitions are a notable trend gaining popularity in the mobile imaging services market. Key players in the market are focusing on collaborations and acquisitions to foster innovation and maintain competitiveness. For example, in April 2023, Photonis, a France-based manufacturer of electro-optical detection and imaging systems, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telops, a Canadian company specializing in high-performance imaging systems and infrared cameras. This strategic move aims to provide unique high-end imaging products to Business-to-Business customers through enhanced component manufacturing capabilities, geographical reach, and advanced technology.

Major companies in the mobile imaging services market are introducing innovative products such as the Swift Ray 1, a hardware device that wirelessly attaches to a smartphone camera to capture comprehensive clinical data, supporting the assessment, treatment, and monitoring of skin and wound conditions. For instance, in March 2022, Swift Medical, a Canada-based digital wound care technology company, launched Swift Ray 1, offering powerful medical imaging that fits in the palm of a clinician or patient's hand, making it accessible anywhere from hospitals to homes.
