In 2023, France had a computed tomography scanner base count of approximately 685 units in the ambulatory sector. From this point, a forecast growth trend is anticipated, with an increase reaching 738 units in 2024 and projecting forward to 946 by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth rate, roughly calculated as follows: approximately 7.2% growth in 2025, 6.6% in 2026, 6.2% in 2027, and 5.7% in 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 stands at an estimated 6.5%.
Trend analysis suggests several future developments:
- Technological advancements could increase scanner efficiency and reduce resource requirements.
- Healthcare policy changes might influence financing, program expansions, or regulatory constraints.
- Demand growth may lead to strategic priority reassessments within healthcare infrastructure.
