The number of Computed Tomography (CT) scanners in Switzerland has shown a steady increase. In 2023, there were 352 scanners. Forecasts for the coming years suggest a uniform growth pattern with the number of scanners reaching 356 in 2024, 360 in 2025, 364 in 2026, 368 in 2027, and 372 by 2028. This demonstrates a yearly increase of about 1.12% when compared year-on-year over the last two years, and a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.11% over the five-year period from 2023 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Adoption of advanced imaging technologies such as AI-enhanced CT scanners.
- Increased demand for diagnostic imaging due to an aging population.
- Emerging competition from alternative imaging modalities like MRI or PET scans.
- Potential impact of healthcare policy changes on equipment procurement.
