As of 2023, Italy had a baseline of PET scanners yet growing progressively with forecasts suggesting an increase in units each year up to 2028. The numbers indicate annual growth from 2023 to 2028, with PET scanners reaching larger availability in clinical settings. Notably, the year-on-year growth for each subsequent year is modest, embedded within a steady trend.
- In 2024, the forecast is set for 230 units.
- By 2025, the projection rises to 234 units.
- For 2026, it moves up to 238 units.
- In 2027, it reaches 241 units.
- By 2028, the expected number stands at 244 units.
Future trends to watch include technological integrations leading to enhanced diagnostic capabilities and potential policy changes in healthcare, which might expedite or decelerate the growth rate of PET scanner deployment within hospital networks.
