Medical imaging display market seen topping $13 billion by 2030

The medical imaging displays and post-processing software market is forecast to surpass $13 billion by 2030, driven by AI adoption, chronic disease imaging demand and digital hospital workflows. North America is expected to lead regional growth, while Siemens Healthineers held the largest share in 2025.

Why it matters: - The market sits at the center of diagnostic imaging, where display quality and software speed can affect clinical accuracy, workflow efficiency and care decisions. - Growth in cancer, cardiovascular, neurological and orthopedic imaging is pushing hospitals and radiology groups to upgrade visualization tools and post-processing software. - The segment is also riding broader shifts toward AI-assisted imaging, teleradiology and cloud-based radiology infrastructure.

What happened: - The Business Research Company said the medical imaging displays and post-processing software market is expected to exceed $13 billion by 2030. - The firm forecast 15% compound annual growth through 2030. - The market is a subset of the broader diagnostic imaging equipment sector, which is projected to reach about $66 billion by 2030. - The broader medical equipment market is projected to hit $1,176 billion by 2030.

The details: - Medical imaging displays are expected to be the largest segment in 2030, with 57% share, or about $7 billion. - Market growth is tied to ultra-high-definition visualization, mammography and surgical displays, calibration and quality assurance, multi-monitor diagnostic setups and wider digital imaging use. - The market also spans x-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI, SPECT and PET technologies, along with 2D, 3D and 4D image formats. - North America is projected to be the largest regional market in 2030 at $3.9 billion, up from $2.0 billion in 2025, for a 14% CAGR. - The United States is projected to be the biggest country-level market at $3.3 billion in 2030, rising from $1.7 billion in 2025. - Siemens Healthineers AG led the segment in 2025 with a 4% share. - GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. and Koninklijke Philips NV each held 3% in 2025. - Canon Group, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, Sectra AB, Agfa Healthcare NV, Esaote SpA, Barco NV and Hologic Inc. each held 2%. - The top ten companies accounted for 23% of revenue in 2025, pointing to a moderately fragmented market. - Barriers to entry include medical device regulation, display performance requirements, interoperability challenges and accuracy standards. - The report said market leaders are defending share through broad portfolios, healthcare partnerships, global distribution and continued imaging innovation. - Barco NV introduced the MXRV-7100 and MXRV-3100 in August 2025, using NVIDIA-powered display controllers for diagnostic imaging. - The controllers are designed to support AI edge applications and improve image processing and workflow productivity. - The report identified three main growth drivers: chronic disease imaging demand, AI integration and expanding digital healthcare infrastructure. - Chronic disease imaging is expected to add about 2.5% annual growth to the market. - AI use in segmentation, lesion detection, organ measurement and decision support is expected to add about 2.2% annual growth. - Digital healthcare infrastructure, including PACS, cloud imaging, electronic health records and telemedicine, is expected to add about 2.0% annual growth. - The displays and software segments are forecast to add more than $7 billion in combined value by 2030, with $4 billion from displays and $3 billion from software.

Between the lines: - The report suggests the market is moving from hardware-only purchasing toward integrated imaging systems that combine better screens, analytics and workflow software. - AI is becoming less of a standalone feature and more of a driver of display and infrastructure spending. - The moderate fragmentation means scale, regulatory readiness and product breadth still matter more than pure price competition.

What's next: - Vendors are expected to keep emphasizing higher-resolution displays, image analysis software and integrated workflow tools. - Strategic focus areas include diagnostic precision, workflow efficiency, imaging infrastructure expansion and broader AI adoption. - The report said market participants are likely to pursue product launches, collaborations and geographic expansion as demand rises. - The full report is available here. - A free sample is available here.

The bottom line: - The market is on track for rapid expansion through 2030, with AI, digital imaging workflows and higher-end diagnostic displays driving most of the upside.
