From 2013 to 2023, the number of computed tomography (CT) scanners in Mexico's ambulatory sector has exhibited significant growth, starting from 4 units in 2013 to 20 units by 2023. The most notable annual growth rates were observed in 2013 (100%) and 2017 (50%). However, growth has moderated in recent years with a 6.67% increase in 2021 and 12.5% in 2022. By 2023, the year-on-year growth rate stood at 11.11%, reflecting a continued yet slightly cooled expansion.
For the next five years, projections suggest a steady increase with the number of CT scanners expected to reach 29 units by 2028, representing an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.68%. This indicates a more moderated but consistent growth trend, reflecting the market's maturity.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increasing adoption of advanced CT technologies.
- Potential shifts in healthcare policy impacting scanner deployment.
- Continued investment in healthcare infrastructure.
