HANDHELD IMAGING SYSTEM MARKET OVERVIEW

global handheld imaging system market size was USD 1.62 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 4.76 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period. North America is dominating the handheld imaging system market share in 2025.

Patients are diagnosed using little versions of enormous diagnostic imaging machines, which are sold on the market. By making results available quickly compared to traditional testing procedures, such portable or pocket-sized equipment offer advantages. As a result, doctors and other healthcare professionals can quickly diagnose patients and give them appropriate treatment thanks to handheld technologies. The market is expected to grow as a result of factors such as the rising prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, the rising demand for early detection tools, technological advancements to speed up turnaround times, increased government investment & reimbursement initiatives, and the expansion of new facilities by market players in developing countries.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Effectuated the Emphasize and Downsized the Market Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative influence on the world economy on many levels, which is also evident in the healthcare sector. Due to the closure of production facilities, severe shortage in raw material supply, and lack of qualified labour, the booming market for health care research and development is predicted to have a sharp fall in sales during the lockdown period. The pandemic's present effects can be inferred from the supply chain and production operations encountering some modest difficulties. After COVID-19, the market is anticipated to gradually recover, which will offer appealing chances for sales in numerous parts of the world in the years to come.

LATEST TRENDS

The Advancements and Development Made in the Device to Inflate the Market Demand

Devices in the chip market are developing quickly and is promoting the market for handheld imaging devices. providing the producers and researchers with the main benefit. As a result, the market for handheld imaging systems is poised for substantial growth because to the current boom in software development and artificial intelligence with a focus on healthcare. As an illustration, the Indian government introduced X-Ray Setu in June 2021 as a free Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based platform to help physicians with the early COVID-19 therapies. Additionally, handheld imaging devices are linked to apps and software that can be used on smartphones, allowing doctors to track patients' health indicators by scanning various internal organs in real-time.

DRIVING FACTORS

Innovation in Advanced X-Ray System to Advance the Market Share

Advanced X-ray systems are being developed by businesses to overcome the drawbacks of traditional wall-mount machines. For instance, the German company KaVo Dental announced the release of NOMADTM Pro 2, a novel handheld X-ray equipment suitable for normal dental procedures. Most dental clinics are gradually adopting cutting-edge handheld X-ray devices. Businesses in the market for handheld imaging equipment are concentrating on the requirements of clinicians so that dentists can obtain reliability through these systems during the demands and appreciations of a busy dental office. They are becoming more proficient in technologies that improve the portability and safety of these devices. X-ray systems with high-capacity battery technology are being introduced by companies in the handheld imaging system market.

Rising Demand for Portable Devices to Drive the Market Growth

Handheld imaging system are portable or mobile imaging equipment or scanners used to view internal organs or scan body components in order to diagnose various ailments and decide on the best course of therapy. The market for handheld imaging devices is seeing an increase in demand for lightweight, portable scanners that can do whole-brain MRI scans for patients with mobility issues. The use of these portable imaging equipment for disease screening has increased recently due to their portability and ease of use.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The Storage of Data and Difference in Results to Restrain the Market

Handheld imaging system may not always match up perfectly with centralised laboratory tests, because of this researchers and manufacturers are, however, constrained by issues with imaging artefacts during the establishment of a consistent magnetic field for image coding. Data storage is a significant issue when using handheld imaging systems. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2019, reported that identifying vascularity (in the context of oncology), treating ectopic pregnancies, and dealing with obese individuals were less useful when using hand-held imaging instruments. Over the course of the forecast period, the aforementioned reasons are anticipated to constrain the handheld imaging system market growth.
