The computed tomography (CT) exams in ambulatory care in Germany are forecasted to rise from 7.02 million exams in 2024 to 7.73 million by 2028. This reflects a consistent annual growth, with a projected rise of 2.56% for 2025, advancing further to 2.48% in 2026, then to 2.39% in 2027, and finally a 2.31% increase in 2028. With the actual 2023 data unavailable, the forecast suggests an upward trajectory over the next five years, predicting a steady increase in demand for CT exams in ambulatory care settings.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in CT imaging which may influence the growth rate.
Healthcare policy changes that could affect ambulatory care demands.
Increased emphasis on preventive healthcare potentially increasing CT utilization.
Potential economic impacts on healthcare expenditures and their effects on CT exam frequencies.
