Digital diagnostics refers to the use of advanced digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data analytics, and imaging systems, to identify, monitor, and predict health conditions with high precision and efficiency. By utilizing electronic health records (EHRs), wearable devices, and diagnostic tools, real-time data collection, analysis, and interpretation can assist healthcare professionals in making accurate medical decisions.
The main products in digital diagnostics include hardware, software, and services. Hardware refers to the physical devices used for conducting tests and collecting health data. These technologies are applied in various fields, such as cardiology, gynecology, infectious diseases, oncology, diabetes, and more. They are used by hospitals, clinics, clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic and research institutions, among 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 digital diagnostics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides digital diagnostics market statistics, including digital diagnostics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a digital diagnostics market share, detailed digital diagnostics market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the digital diagnostics industry. This digital diagnostics 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 digital diagnostics market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.76 billion in 2024 to $2.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing investment and funding, increasing awareness and training, increasing funding for R&D, increasing emphasis on ESG factors and increasing patient-centric approaches.
The digital diagnostics market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global health initiatives, globalization of healthcare, cultural shift towards digital solutions, support from healthcare institutions, and expansion of diagnostic capabilities. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of point-of-care testing, growth of telemedicine solutions, development of advanced software solutions, expansion of digital pathology solutions, and block chain for data security.
The forecast of 22.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to burden U.S. healthcare providers by driving up the cost of Artificial intelligence(AI)-powered diagnostic imaging software and portable ultrasound devices sourced from China and Sweden, exacerbating hospital capital expenditures and delaying point-of-care testing adoption. 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 rising prevalence of chronic illnesses is expected to fuel the growth of the digital diagnostics market. This increase can be attributed to factors such as aging populations, growing obesity rates, sedentary lifestyles, environmental influences, and improved awareness and diagnosis of these conditions. Digital diagnostics play a crucial role in managing chronic illnesses by enabling continuous monitoring, early detection of complications, and personalized treatment adjustments, all of which contribute to better long-term disease management and patient outcomes. For example, in February 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported approximately 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million cancer-related deaths in 2022. Lung cancer, with 2.5 million new cases (12.4% of all new cases), was the most common type, followed by female breast cancer (2.3 million cases, 11.6%), colorectal cancer (1.9 million cases, 9.6%), prostate cancer (1.5 million cases, 7.3%), and stomach cancer (970,000 cases, 4.9%). The WHO also projected that countries with high Human Development Index (HDI) would experience the most significant increase in cancer incidence, with an additional 4.8 million new cases expected by 2050 compared to 2022. Consequently, the growing number of chronic illness cases is driving the expansion of the digital diagnostics market.
Major players in the digital diagnostics market are increasingly focusing on creating advanced products such as digital cytology systems to improve diagnostic precision, streamline processes, and enable remote analysis using advanced imaging and AI-based tools. A digital cytology system is an innovative diagnostic platform that leverages imaging technology and artificial intelligence to assess and interpret cytological samples, ensuring more accurate and efficient diagnoses. For example, in February 2024, Hologic Inc., a medical technology company based in the United States, received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Genius Digital Diagnostics System, which includes the Genius Cervical AI algorithm. This system is the first FDA-cleared digital cytology platform that combines deep-learning AI with advanced volumetric imaging to detect pre-cancerous lesions and cervical cancer cells. Unlike conventional methods, where cervical cells from a Pap test are examined manually under a microscope, the Genius system digitizes the slides and uses AI to highlight important cells, which cytologists and pathologists can then review.
In October 2023, Kingsway Financial Services, a holding company based in the United States, acquired Digital Diagnostics Imaging for $11 million. This acquisition allows Kingsway Financial Services to strengthen its healthcare portfolio by incorporating Digital Diagnostics Imaging's remote cardiac monitoring services. The addition of these services is expected to generate recurring revenue and broaden Kingsway's presence in the expanding telehealth market. Digital Diagnostics Imaging is a US-based company that specializes in providing digital diagnostic systems and services.
