Analyzing the global number of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) units by country reveals that Brazil had the highest volume at 3.44 thousand units in 2024, followed by South Korea at 2.0 thousand units. France, Poland, and Australia had lower figures, with 1.25, 0.468, and 0.404 thousand units, respectively. Mexico, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Iceland reported even fewer units, with Iceland having the least at 0.007 thousand units. In 2023, Brazil stood at 5.92% year-on-year growth, with South Korea at 5.16%, and France at 4.85% growth.
Over the last two years, Poland experienced the highest year-on-year growth at 5.98%, while Iceland recorded no growth. Luxembourg showed the highest year-on-year variation at 11.38%. Additionally, notable CAGRs over five years indicate significant expansion in several countries, suggesting rising demand for MRI diagnostics globally. Ireland had a relatively low growth rate at 1.49%, while Japan had an average growth rate representative of global trends.
Future trends to watch include the continual increase in MRI units driven by technological advancements, greater healthcare spending, and an aging population demanding more diagnostic imaging. Rapid growth in developing countries could significantly alter the landscape of MRI unit distribution globally.
