Latin America CT Market

Latin America CT Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The CT market size in Latin America was worth USD 0.83 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 1.04 billion by the end of 2029, with a CAGR of 4.69%.

CT Scan (Computed Tomography) imaging of the body uses tomography and digital geometry to generate a 3D image of the internal organs of a body. It uses a series of two-dimensional x-rays taken around a single axis of rotation and then developed to form the 3D image. CT scanners' evolution has advanced to the point where the number of slices per rotation is no longer the benchmark for performance. The multi-slice feature has evolved CT from a diagnostic tool into an interventional modality. Though most CT scanners are still used as general systems, some are modified for specific purposes, such as bone densitometry or cardiovascular studies. As a result, there is an increasing demand for high-slice CT. The high slice CT scan is expected to improve the clinical utility considerably, as the introduction of 256 slice scanner, which has a detector width of 10 to 12 cm, would help in scanning organs, including the brain, heart, entire joints, and lungs and liver, within a single rotation.

Rapidly growing demand for bedside imaging, home healthcare, and the growing use of CT scan to assess the accuracy of post-interventional medical procedures, medical implants, and anatomical confirmation are some of the major factors accelerating the growth of the CT market in the Latin American market. In addition, a never-ending increase in the number of medical implant surgeries due to unhealthy lifestyles and the growing base of the senior population is likely to increase demand. Furthermore, the significant advances in imaging technologies promise to improve wellness through quicker and more precise detection of medical conditions.

CT imaging radiation dose continues to be an area of concern. Many patients and medical associations have raised this issue and raised their voices against the possible side-effects of CT scanning. As a result, the market continues to reduce exposure while ensuring image quality.
