Since 2013, the density of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) units in France has demonstrated a steady upward trend, marked by significant year-on-year variations and healthy Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR). As of 2023, this density stands at 18.4 units per million persons. During the earlier years, from 2013 to 2015, there were impressive increments with double-digit year-on-year variations. However, the growth rate has gradually declined since 2016, showing more modest increases in recent years. Specifically, the year-on-year variation dropped to 3.84% by 2023, with a five-year CAGR of 4.55%.
Looking forward, the forecast suggests that the growth will continue but at a decelerated pace, with a five-year forecasted CAGR of 2.33%, culminating in a density of 21.37 units per million persons by 2028. Key future trends to watch for include advancements in MRI technology, public and private healthcare investments, and policy changes influencing the healthcare sector in France.
