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.
Tariffs are impacting the computed tomography scanner market by increasing costs of imported x-ray tubes, detectors, semiconductor components, imaging software systems, and precision mechanical assemblies. Hospitals and diagnostic centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported high-end imaging equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces higher export-related cost pressures. These tariffs are increasing capital expenditure requirements and delaying equipment upgrades. However, they are also encouraging localized assembly, regional manufacturing partnerships, and increased investments in domestic medical imaging production capabilities.
The computed tomography (ct) scanner market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides computed tomography (ct) scanner market statistics, including computed tomography (ct) scanner industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a computed tomography (ct) scanner market share, detailed computed tomography (ct) scanner market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the computed tomography (ct) scanner industry. This 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 $8.22 billion in 2025 to $8.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of advanced medical imaging infrastructure, rising incidence of chronic and acute diseases, increasing use of ct imaging in diagnostics, availability of reimbursement frameworks, growth of hospital imaging departments.
The computed tomography (ct) scanner market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.59 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in advanced imaging technologies, rising demand for early disease detection, expansion of outpatient diagnostic centers, growing focus on radiation dose reduction, continuous innovation in ct scanner performance. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of high-slice ct systems, rising adoption of ai-assisted image reconstruction, growing demand for portable ct scanners, expansion of low-dose imaging technologies, enhanced focus on diagnostic precision.
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.
