The global magnetic resonance imaging market size is expected to reach USD 10.3 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases and increasing demand for early diagnostic techniques are the factors expected to drive the market growth. In addition, the growing adoption of less invasive procedures is contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the growing number of clinical trials to understand the effectiveness and efficiency of MRI machines in various clinical applications is expected to boost market growth. End-users, such as research institutes and universities, are actively conducting studies to assess the effectiveness of high-field strength MRI devices, including those with field strengths of 7T, 10T, and 10.5T.
The increasing number of research investigations will contribute to unveiling the potential uses and benefits of high-field MRI machines for a wide range of both preclinical and clinical applications. Technological advancements are further expected to boost the industry growth. The introduction of new software has resulted in quicker scanning and streamlined imaging workflows. Recent progress has facilitated the creation of multi-contrast and cardiac MRI, enhancing imaging capabilities. Software updates provide users with the opportunity to enhance their systems and improve workflow efficiency. As an illustration, in November 2021, Philips unveiled an AI-enabled MR imaging portfolio designed to enhance radiology operations' efficiency and sustainability. This portfolio accelerates MR exams, simplifies workflows, enhances diagnostic quality, and ensures the overall efficiency and sustainability of radiology operations.
