By 2023, the number of Computed Tomography (CT) scanners in Brazil stood at approximately 6.68 thousand units. This represents a year-on-year increase of 5.55% from the previous year. Analyzing trends from the past, we observe consistent growth with year-on-year variations up to 8.8% in 2021 due to heightened digitization and healthcare investments. Over the last two years, growth rates were 5.93% in 2022 and 5.55% in 2023. From 2024 onwards, the forecast anticipates gradual growth, projecting the number of units to reach approximately 8.38 thousand by 2028, translating to an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% over the next five years.
Key future trends to watch for include the adoption of advanced imaging technologies, increased healthcare funding, and expanding private healthcare sectors which could drive higher-than-expected demand for CT scanners. Moreover, ongoing improvements in AI and machine learning can enhance diagnostic capabilities, further fostering market growth.
