EUROPE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCANNERS MARKET FORECAST 2023-2032

The Europe computed tomography (CT) scanners market growth evaluation encompasses the analysis of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Rest of Europe. The demand for CT scanners in the United Kingdom is on the rise due to several factors, such as the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the aging population, and advancements in CT imaging technology. With its well-established healthcare system and advanced medical infrastructure, the United Kingdom widely incorporates CT scanners in hospitals, clinics, as well as diagnostic centers. 

Moreover, the demographic landscape in the United Kingdom is undergoing a significant shift, characterized by a progressively aging population in England and Wales. The recently released Census 2021 results highlight this trend, indicating a larger proportion of the population falling into older age groups. Notably, over 11 million individuals, accounting for 18.6% of the total population, are aged 65 years or older, compared to 16.4% in the previous 2011 census. Hence, the rise in the geriatric populace plays a crucial role in driving the demand for CT scanners in the United Kingdom.

On the other hand, industry sources report a consistent upward trend in the number of CT scan examinations conducted in German hospitals between 2005 and 2017, with an estimated 6.06 million scans performed in 2017. Also, Germany stands as a leading European nation in its investments in AI technology for healthcare. Aligning with this, in 2019, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research allocated approximately $685.92 million for research and development in the field of artificial intelligence, with a significant portion of this funding directed towards healthcare-focused initiatives, particularly the advancement of AI-driven medical imaging technologies. Hence, the aforementioned factors are projected to fuel the computed tomography (CT) scanners market growth in Europe during the forecasting period. 

The Europe computed tomography (CT) scanners market is segmented into type, application, and end-user. The application segment includes oncology, neurology, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and other applications. CT scanners have extensive applications in oncology, serving various purposes in cancer diagnosis and management. Moreover, they also play a vital role in the initial detection of tumors by accurately identifying their size, location, and extent. CT scans are instrumental in cancer staging, enabling healthcare professionals to assess the spread of cancer to nearby lymph nodes or distant organs. 

Key players operating in the Europe computed tomography (CT) scanners market are Planmeca Group, Siemens Healthineers AG, etc.

Siemens Healthineers AG, a subsidiary of Siemens AG headquartered in Germany, is a medical technology company that develops, designs, manufactures, and supplies clinical and workflow systems and solutions, diagnostic imaging systems, and solutions for minimally invasive procedures. Some of the major products offered by the company include magnetic resonance imaging systems, hybrid ORs, computed tomography systems, molecular imaging systems, X-Ray products, mobile C-arms, ultrasound systems, point-of-care (POC) testing systems, and angiography systems, among others.
